Using advisors instead of U.S. troops would require 20,000 advisors. The surge was started because of Al Qaeda, the Sunnis and Al-Sadr. Now only Al-Sadr is somewhat of a problem although no match for the Iraqis. The U.S. forces could remove 1,900 U.S. forces a month to achieve that goal of switching troops to advisors while filling the security void with Iraqis. Here is an interesting story. The U.S. has 180,000 contractors in Iraq, but 118,000 are Iraqis and 43,000 are not from the U.S. http://www.globalexchange.org/countries/mideast/iraq/4762.html

We've had these defeatist lefties screeching about Saudi Arabia for YEARS. This is good news and needs to be highlighted.
