US troops to return only if Iraqi forces fail

08-22-2010 • AP

t would take "a complete failure" of the Iraqi security forces for the U.S. to resume combat operations there, the top American commander in Iraq said as the final U.S. fighting forces prepared to leave the country.

With a major military milestone in sight, Gen. Ray Odierno said in interviews broadcast Sunday that any resumption of combat duties by American forces is unlikely.

"We don’t see that happening," Odierno said.

Only if they fail? So, that means that they won't be leaving then. Well, in case they were planning to leave that is. And, NO! I don't want any of you idiots to tell me that "baaaah baaaah baaaah, they've already left" because they haven't and they never will, not with 50,000 mercenaries left behind and an embassy half the size of Texas in Baghdad.
