Army chief says US ready to be in Iraq 10 years

WASHINGTON – The Pentagon is prepared to leave fighting forces in Iraq for as long as a decade despite an agreement between the United States and Iraq that would bring all American troops home by 2012, the top U.S. Army officer said Tuesday.

Gen. George Casey, the Army chief of staff, said the world remains dangerous and unpredictable, and the Pentagon must plan for extended U.S. combat and stability operations in two wars. "Global trends are pushing in the wrong direction," Casey said. "They fundamentally will change how the Army works."

lmao...more "change" and broken promises
 
They are ready...where are they getting the money to remain there?
 
It said they must plan for, not that they were told by Obama to stay.

In any case I disagree. We made an agreement with a democratically elected government to leave and we should honor our agreements.
