True. But video of soldiers being nice to kids doesn't prove all is well either as the OP seemed to indicate.

We have a time table for withdrawal, and we need to leave Iraq to police itself. This occupation is depleting our economy and military strength for no 'clear positive outcome.'

Quote:
Last week, U.S. and Iraqi officials said the two sides had agreed tentatively to a schedule which included a broad pullout of combat forces by the end of 2011 with a residual U.S. force remaining behind to continue training and advising the Iraqi security forces.
To pull out by 2011 would mean beginning a withdrawal as soon as this year. Even Fox News is reporting that we will leave Iraq. It's the right decision.
