Arcane are you  crazy?  Their are a lot more modernized middle eastern countries that Iraq.  I have been to a couple different countries and I saw nothing that even Iraq.  You need to know what you are talking about before you start saying stuff like that.  One other thing I want to tell you about.  If the Iraqis didn't want us there all they had to do is run us out,  but they are going through what we did  in our civil war, Losing life's, homes, family and what not they know that it is a necessary evil but most of them are ready for a change.  There have been more business open up in the last year than any other year in their history.  Soon as they can show that their military is able and willing we will be out but no sooner.  It would be a disgrace to the US and its people if we left now and let total hell rain down upon them.

Iraq was not like it is now when Saddam was in power. Saddam was a threat to his own people, and those around him, period. World threat? Threat to America? Not by any thinking person's stretch of the imagination. We had to retaliate for 9/11 and a group of brilliant people decided Iraq was the path of least resistance after we topple their tyrant to install a democracy. Wishful thinking at its best, we are starting to see the worst. Things have degraded to their tribal levels split along religious sects. We invaded without understanding the culture and history of the region. Hatred and war are long time bed-partners in the middle-east. Just to keep the excitement growing we can now add extremely twisted, hate filled, religious fundamentalist zealots adding to the killing in the name of Allah.  Baghdad is eerily starting to look like Saigon. We won't need a strategy to get out, we'll need emergency evacuation.

I'd rather see if I could hold my breath forever whilst holding high-voltage cables and trying to hum all of Wagner's Ring Cycle...note perfect.  Although I was born in CA, I'm now living in Scotland, thank feck.  I am keeping my eyes on that shower of bastards however.  I know a man here who is a semi-retired military advisor, with the highest security clearance who has worked over there many times and he says that the Iraqis are far worse off now than before, and yes, all this is for the oil.  Shocking.

Still comparing things that are irrelevant to each other?\n\nBy the way, when did we take Iraq?  Seems to me the fighting is still going, despite "Mission Accomplished."

I have a cousin whose husband was in Iraq when she gave birth to their son. I don't think he was there for the delivery, but did come home for a couple of weeks. He then went back. So in a way, I guess to some extent, yes.

I am US military stationed in Iraq right now also.  I don't think we came over here for the right reasons, but I think what we are doing for these people is righteous.  I get to go "outside the wire" quite a bit, and being a job that isn't really liked by the insurgents..ie they want to kill me bad, many of these people are happy to have us here.  To have lifted a tyrant out of power and giving them a chance to set up a democratic system of government for themselves.  Slowly but surely the Iraqi military and police are taking over our job, it is a slow process, but it is working.  I am glad to be a part of an operation that liberates a country and lets them choose their freedoms and laws.

God would say, George I'm sorry you are having to go through this, but you will be rewarded, and the people of Iraq will be grateful when this is all through.  I'm sorry that Satan (democrats) is in league with the evil forces of the media to ruin this country.  This is a test of this country grit, and although it seems dark right now, we will come forth the winners.  Keep the faith, you are doing the right thing.

If the question is how many troops are there in Iraq? The answer would be that there are currently about 150,000 troops stationed in Iraq. If you are asking about the American military then the answer is, there are about 2,500,000 people serving in the Armed Forces in one capacity or another, not counting civilians working for the military services or military contractors supplying the services.

There are about 130,000 troops in Iraq right now. It is impossible to pin an exact number down because FMGs arrive in country every day, and "old timers" are leaving for home every day.
