I wonder what would happen if we got the military totally out of Iraq, replaced them with a few hundred news reporters with no leashes, taxed with the job of uncovering any and all dirt, then told the Iraqis we will send them $12B/month if they deport themselves with model good behavior, otherwise, if the reporters uncover any naughtiness, off goes the spigot? I'd bet that we could cut it to $1B/month. I also suspect that one of the first things Iraqis will do once the US is gone is to turn their attention to decimating AQ. Iraqi Sunnis and Shia have a score to settle with AQ, the US just keeps distracting them. jttmab
