It's costing us 6 billion a month to be there.

Sure, but keep in mind a lot of that is salaries for military that would be paid anyway, maintenance of equipment that would be maintained anyway, food for the military that would be eaten anyway, and payments to US corporations that is basically a circulation of funds in the economic system.

Anyway, you're preaching to the converted. I agree that the process is basically finished, and its time to begin to leave. I think a major campaign announcing coalition departure in say exactly 12 months (or whenever) should be made and the first plan of action for the new government to be elected this December is to prepare for complete independence.
