Troop withdrawal

It`s truly unbelievable, the troops are being pulled out of Iraq.
Mission accomplished.

Yeah right, and my Kiddo is being extended for a SECOND time. That's a hard one to tell this mother! Well, hard for me to believe it. Perhaps he'll be part of the 'clean up crew'. I'm hopefull but live in the reality...

I don't think we'll know if mission was truly accomplished until we see some long term observations.

I'll believe it when I see the whites of my sons eyes and his warm hugging embrace when he gets off the boat, bus, train or plane, how ever he gets home. I don't care , I just want him home alive and not arriving in a flag draped box.

Well it won`t be long now.
You know, Great Britian got rid of their King, and now the people get to decide, by vote.
What a novel idea. Maybe we could import some of that Democracy stuff over here.

Man, you`d better prepare yourself for the avalanche of personnel returning.
Get some rest, you`ll need it, any day now.
