Last U.S. troops leave Iraq, ending war

[Fate]

Why does an embassy need 15,000 workers?

[mongers]

Why does an embassy need 15,000 workers?

They need a lot of people at the ready, so just in case this time they can really thoroughly shred  those documents.

[Ideologue]

Why does an embassy need 15,000 workers?

I think all our embassies need 15,000 workers.

[PJL]

It is rather stupid to say the war ended with the last US troops leaving.

Kind of the other way around - the last US troops are leaving because the war ended quite a while ago. At least in theory.

Quite, if the definition of a war ending means the last troops leaving a country that it defeated, then we're still fighting WW2...

If it is anything like state government they'll need some jobs for important peoples' friends, relatives, those owed favors, and then some jobs for people who have to actually do the work.

Agree with Marty that it's silly to call this the end of any war.

Disagree with Marty that wars only end when the antagonists sign a peace treaty.

[mongers]

How long will it take for the country to fall into the hands of their enemies ?   

[Neil]

I imagine that the Iranians will be rolling in within the month.

[Razgovory]

It's already in enemy hands.

[Martinus]

Disagree with Marty that wars only end when the antagonists sign a peace treaty.

Good I never said anythin of that sort.

[CountDeMoney]

It's already in enemy hands.

It was in enemy hands the moment Garner was fired and replaced by Bremer.

Disagree with Marty that wars only end when the antagonists sign a peace treaty.

Good I never said anythin of that sort.

The war ends when one of the parties is destroyed or surrenders, or the parties sign a peace treaty.

[Neil]

It's already in enemy hands.

It was in enemy hands the moment Garner was fired and replaced by Bremer.

To be fair, it didn't help when the enemy took the White House.

Ok Martim.
