Don't we need at least enough troops to protect the oil fields assigned to US operators?

  NO. Left the Iraq's guard their fields and run THEIR country.

      Not at all. It is Bush's oil. Since the beginning of the Century. SEE PRESCOTT BUSH and his good friends, the Bin Ladens. Also, have you noticed Condoleeza Rice's mahor sharehold in a major gas company? Come on. This is NOT about the American people

        No it isn't. I am amazed at how easily everyone falls for the nonsense they hear on TV.

        Wow, another anti capitalist. No one is supposed to make money on anything without someone thinking they are criminals. Just because you hold stock, does not mean your whole life centers around that stock. Why not be a shareholder in major gas companies. Gas is going up now. Especially since we can't drill in our own areas.

    Of course they will do that once they are strong enough. I think this is what a lot of people don't understand. If we pull the troops out too soon, the insurgents will swarm in like flies and kill anyone who supported the US and allies and then take over the oil fields them selves.
    Then guess what, they will use the funds they get to attack the US and others who appose them.

  Then by your reasoning, perhaps the politicians here supporting the Iraqi's need their own Iraqi troops to protect them from disgruntled U.S. citizens....
  Let the Iraqi's protect their own 'Disneyland' - and we can get the hell out of the middle of whatever clusterphuc they inflict on themselves. That's what 'Civil Wars' are all about.

    cival wars? That might work if it was only the fighting amongst themselves; but they are getting interference from countries in the vicinity.
