Iraq, the second most expensive “war of choice” (after Vietnam) in American history, is for the United States reaching a level of effort that will no longer absorb substantial military and economic resources or garner significant domestic political attention.

作为美国历史上消耗人力物力仅次于越战的“选择之战”，伊拉克战争已不再会被注入大量军事/经济资源或是获取大范围的国内政治关注。所有美军部队都应当于2011年末撤离伊拉克。
