As Iraqis stand up, we can stand down.

Well ok, when Iraqis squat and take cover, we can step back and yell directions. Not yet? When Iraqis peek out of their bunkers, then we can drive our tanks in the other direction a few yards.....

“Military planners have abandoned the idea that standing up Iraqi troops will enable American soldiers to start coming home soon and now believe that U.S. troops will have to defeat the insurgents and secure control of troubled provinces. Training Iraqi troops, which had been the cornerstone of the Bush administration’s Iraq policy since 2005, has dropped in priority, officials in Baghdad and Washington said. … Pentagon officials said they know of no new training resources that have been included in U.S. plans to dispatch 28,000 additional troops to Iraq.”

Wait! I've got it. When Iraqis stand up, we will have been standing and taking the bullets for decades.....
