As stated, ABC reported from interviews with military personnel, to leave Iraq in 16 months we can get the troops out but not the equipment.

What are you talking about? On January 1, 2003, the first division (3rd ID, 17,000 troops) was deployed to the Gulf in preparation for the war, with only its second brigade pre-positioned in Kuwait. The 60,000 troops already in the Gulf region was doubled in three months in the run up to the invasion, along with all of their equipment, and these forces were ready to fight. Now you tell me with all the troops disengaged from combat (they’re rolling up the last thousand al Qaeda in Mosul now) we can’t pull them all back in sixteen months without leaving all their gear behind. It doesn’t wash.
