#3 Lotp,

Is this going to turn into an opportunity for Turkish peacekeepers in Iraq?

#5 Thats a fair assessment. The Iraqis will be mainly concerned with internal and border security for the next 5-6 years, not defense. A US airbase and a couple of heavy brigades in the south and center, and a stryker brigade in the north would be sufficient.

Think Korea, or Germany, post war. It took about 10 years for either of them to get on thier own feet. And even then, we still have troops in both countries half a century later.
