Presumably part of the reason for having 130,000 odd troops in Iraq is to maintain security. For whatever reason, we're failing to do that. I don't know what the solution is - more troops, less troops, a greater willingness to accept US military casualties, etc... But, we've turned every corner that there is to be turned and the light still isn't at the end of that damn tunnel. At every artificial moving goalpost we were supposed to engage in the Tinkerbell Gambit and clap louder in hopes that things would improve, but they don't. With a strong majority now against the war, can we, 2 years later, start talking about this seriously instead of having it be a domestic politcial battle between optimists and pessimists?
But, hey, it'll only cost you $35,000 for a "safe" 6 mile trip to the airport...
