daily lobo asks you:

Do you think it's possible to reduce the number of U.S. troops in Iraq within a year?

Mitch Straub

Senior

Marketing

I don't think it would be possible just based on the situation in Iraq. I think it's going to take longer to set the government in place and get everything done.

I think it's possible because it's really up to Congress, and it's really people's decision whether they want to send or not troops to Iraq and all. Congress and the president have to do a lot of it.

Yes. I think it's possible because, well, they can do whatever they want. It's the U.S. military. They can go in -- they can go out as they please.

Speech and language

I would say no only because I feel it would be putting the Iraqis in too much danger.

Sean Brown

I do think it'd be possible to reduce the troops in Iraq, just because if you reduce the troops in Iraq, you've got to let the Iraqi government stand on its own. And if we stay there to police them, they're never going to stand up on their own.

Anna Romero

Freshman

Business law and political science

I don't think that it's easy to say that the people in Iraq should be taken out in one year, because I just feel that if the government's going to do that, they know more than we do. I think we should stand by our troops and let them do their job.
