>>>I think the best thing is to give the place back to the Iraqis ASAP. We were much too ambitious in our planning for running the place long term. Keep a few "lily pads" for our troops, cut down to about 50K of them, and exit next summer with the rest.<<<

I did not support attacking Iraq when we did but I do not believe in "cut and run." Since we are there now, we should restructure Iraq as we intended--whatever it takes. No one that thought about war before it started expected the restructuring of Iraq to be the easy part. We knew we would be there for years and our soldiers would be subjected to terrorist attacks--it is the middle east!
