We will say that America will keep the 50 thousand soldiers behind after the withdrawal, and I think it was too early for this date (2011) the withdrawal of U.S. forces, by equipping Iraqi forces, both arms or training, particularly as we see the Iranian occupation of a brutal oil wells which is only evidence of the lack of readiness Iraqi forces ».
