Gee, I was wondering why we are still in Iraq with what, 150,000 troops.
We're training. Right.



Consider this:

New York City is composed of approx. 469 square miles.
The New York City police force consists of 37,838 officers.

That's about 80 officers per square mile.

Iraq is composed of approx. 167,400 square miles.
At a troop level of 150,000 personel, that's less than one person per mile
(not counting Iraq forces).
