Easy answer...forces are still there because the mission has not been accomplished...but news flash for you...forces will be in Iraq until hell freezes over...mission accomplished or not...or untill the American people demand (in force) that they be removed. Troop levels are normally raised or lowered at the request of the field Commanders...but in this case it is to provide increased security for the elections taking place next month.
