When would be the time?
I'm just thinking that it has to happen sometime in the near future, so now is just as good as any other time. That being said, there is still a force of 130,000+ US Troops there if violence flairs up.

I didn't read the article yet, but if there are still 130k troops there, that's hardly leaving. I was getting my hopes up from the title of the thread too...
Removal from the bases is scheduled for 2011. Here's hoping it goes better than Saigon.
Yep, better than nothing.
Hopefully it'll at least keep our soldiers away from the car bombs, IEDs, suicide bombers, or whatever else they'd encounter while patrolling the cities.
Not to say they are "safe" now, just hopefully safe-er.
