Iraq is, was, and will continue to be a rats nest for the foreseeable future. I am all for just pulling out, going to the north and helping those folks establish a free Kurd homeland. Dealing with the Turks may be somewhat dicey but not insurmountable. Then we can simply sit, and watch these people live out their dream and butcher each other.

We need to get ready for the really “Big Show,” that being Iran. Sticking in Iraq will only bleed us when we need to be getting our own sh*t together.

Iraq is an artificial construction formed in the post WWI years by Winston Churchill and others. Iraq has never been a united nation. Saddam held Iraq together mainly byÂ force and brutal repression. So it doesn’t matter if we leave today or 25 years from now. Iraq is going devolve into a patchwork of small squabbling mini-nations in the manner of the Balkans and with the same result. It’s FUBAR no matter what we do!

I dodn't know the answer either but when I read crap like this... Al-Maliki: US troops can leave Iraq anytime.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has shrugged off United States' doubts of his government's military and political progress.

One of his top aides, meanwhile, accused the United States of embarrassing the Iraqi government by violating human rights and treating his country like an "experiment in a US laboratory;" AP reported.

Al-Maliki said on Saturday that Iraqi forces are capable and American troops can leave "any time they want".

I say let them burn in hell. Let them go at, remember, everyone of them that kills another one of them is good. If this was a business I was investing in, I would have cut my losses long ago.
