"US TROOPS NOT LEAVING IRAQ, 20 MORE YEARS TO GO." 8-19-2010

"STOP SPENDING" T-SHIRTS @ http://executees.net/mens.html

The last US combat brigade has left Iraq two weeks ahead of the planned withdrawal at the end of the month.

However, a 50,0000-strong American military contingent will remain in the country for support and training until the end of 2011.

They will have the power to use their weapons in self-defense or at the request of the Iraqi government.

Over seven years of fighting in Iraq, more than 4,000 US soldiers have died, according to the Pentagon.

According to Mike Raddie from the London-based anti-war group Democracy Village, the US presence is there to stay in Iraq. America is simply re-branding its occupation in the country, he stated.

"Essentially what is happening is that they are going to stay there for at least 20 years, that is the length of time that all the contracts have been signed," he said. "The 50,000 troops that are there is also a misleading number because there is actually about 100,000 private contractors there. That number is likely to increase."

"They are not actually leaving," Raddie added. "What they are doing is re-branding the occupation. Instead of calling it 'combat operations,' they are going to call it 'stability operations.'"

I have been stationed in Germany for a couple months now and I enjoy every minute of it. The germans are great & some actually love Americans. All because you go to a different country with the military, it doesn't mean it's a 'war'.

@smokndarasta they are staying to protect the oil contracts -- it's such a scam....blow up the country and leave it in a total mess...it's 3rd world now -- but let's protect the contracts...are you kidding me...we're staying as the bullies on the block -- protecting oil contracts -- outraged!!!!!

American soldiers entered Germany in 1945 and still havent left. Just because there are soldiers doesnt mean there is war. If the insergents would just settle down there would be no fight, and no civillian casualties, yet I still think the insurgents will continue attack the Iraqi army.
