Iraq Commander: U.S Troops Must Stay Another Decade

Iraqi General Babaker Shawkat Zebari says problems will start for his country if the U.S. pulls its troops out at the end of next year, as planned. Zebari says his army won’t be ready to take over until 2020.


Yankee (don’t) Go Home

Says Iraq’s Commander Zebari,
Although it might sound quite bizarre, he
Needs U.S, GIs to hang tough there
While things are so terribly rough there.

He insists that things are so tense,
For the U.S. to leave makes no sense.
Another ten years would ensure
That his country would be more secure.

More civilians are dying each day,
So Zebari would like us to stay.
He wants us to simply take root
Till his soldiers are taught how to shoot.
