   I think that we've done our business there.  More than many.   
      
   It's time for our forces to stand back.   I have no issues with our   
   involvement, but combat must end.   
      
   Did you know why we got the ass end of the deal?   
      
   According to Maj. Gen. (R) Lew MacKenzie, we were late in the game, and   
   all the "cushy" jobs were sucked up by the Italians, the Germans and the   
   likes of that.   So on we went, carrying the heavy lifting.   
      
   It's time for that to stop.  We still have a role there, but not the   
   role that we have been into.
