A revised U.S. military plan for Iraq envisions American troops being in that country for at least another two years.

The plan, known as the Joint Campaign Plan, was developed by the top U.S. commander in Iraq, General David Petraeus, and the U.S. ambassador in Iraq, Ryan Crocker.

The New York Times newspaper first reported on the plan in Tuesday's editions. It calls for restoring security in local areas of Iraq, including Baghdad, by around this time next year, and nationwide security by mid-2009.

We will have toops in Iraq for quite a bit longer than that. When I was last on Camp Speicher in Tikrit, bank in April, the military was constantly building up in a big way as far as LSA's (living areas), chow halls, etc. They plan on being there for a long time.

Camp Anaconda as well. There might be a major draw down as far as numbers, but we will be there for a very long time.

Anyone who thought the Dems were going to end this, really needs to look at the reality of the situation. IMO
