Troops in Iraq to Reach Record Level

Man, that's a whole lot of dudes.

That just makes no sense. Why wouldn't the insurgents back off, let American troops leave, then start up again?

Hell, why don't we just pull out, let them kill each other and then go back in again to restore order once they've wiped each other out?
