Early Troop Withdrawal from Iraq
Early Troop Withdrawal from Iraq
The war in Iraq is yet another divisive topic that often turns into a one-issue vote. Like abortion, voters could very well pick a candidate who agrees with their position – and those positions run the gamut. Some opposed going into Iraq in the first place, others are calling for an immediately withdrawal, another group is pushing for a phased withdrawal. Others are considering partitioning the country along ethnic boundaries or staying the course until the Iraq government can take over.

Timetables are Sensitive information!
Generally information about military actions are classified Top Secret.
In a perfect world, military intelligence leads to no deaths.
Immediate military actions are classified as Special Intelligence/Operations. SIOP intelligence is the most sensitive and could cost the lives of our troops, enemy, and innocents.
Published "timetable" of troop actions could caused many lost lives because the tyrantss will bank on the timetable to take over the region.
If the US publicize a certain date for withdrawl, the tyrants will plan to take action the next day or week after the end of the US timetable.
