1 MORE YEAR IN IRAQ OR 1 DECADE MORE?

WE ARE NEVER LEAVING IRAQ, A WAR WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE GONE INTO. Even the left-y news on MSNBC didn't mention this. You have to find it in a UK paper, The Guardian. So are we leaving in 1 year or in 1 decade, as suggested below?

EXCERPTS:

Ten days after Barack Obama announced the end of the combat mission in Iraq "as pr...omised and on schedule", the country's most senior general said his forces would not be capable of securing Iraq's borders for another decade.

Mr Obama deserves credit for pulling 50,000 troops out, but the fact is
that tens of thousands of US troops will be in Iraq for years to come,
along with 100,000 private contractors and armed mercenaries.
