This morning on the Today show, "100 years" said that it's "not too important" to bring troops home from Iraq. He said what is important is the decrease in casualties. He went on to justify his comments by saying that American troops are still in Korea, Japan and Germany. This is precisely the argument he tried to make when saying that there might be a military presence in Iraq for "100 years." He said American troops scattered throughout the world is "all fine."
Harry Reid has released a statement condemning the comments. If the Democrats are smart, this clip will become the talk of the political world for the next week.

I need someone to explain why this comment is outrageous if it's not taken out of context. Maybe I don't understand the context. I thought he was saying that when the troops come home is less important than when hostilities end. Isn't that absolutely true? For the sake of Iraqi autonomy, maybe we want all the troops to literally come home, but if our primary concern is peace, then the end of hostilities and cessation of casualties seems to be the more important milestone. Maybe I'm giving him too much credit?
