The war ended years ago when Saddam was toppled. Our commitment in Iraq now is to establish law and order, at which we are failing.
We are failing because we do not have enough troops committed to secure the borders and maintain civil order. Prior to the invasion, the military advised the White House that a force of serveral hundred thousand men would be needed to install law and order in Iraq. That advice was ignored because it would have required reintatement of the draft.
If the crime rate increases in your city, do your hire more police or abandon the town? Our troop level in Iraq is only about 130,000 men, which is far short of the 500,000 men Saddam needed to secure Iraq.
So, the question is: If the police force in your city was doubled, would your city be safer or more violent? Think about it.
