That may be difficult...the President is on record several times saying when the Iraqi government tells us to leave, we will leave. We don't have long term basing arrangements, and what arrangemetns we do have may be repudiated openly by a new Iraqi (or fragment of Iraq) government, pointing out the President's promise to leave when asked by the Iraq government.

If we then stay in our bases, what is the justification? Because we can? I think without some color of law over the arrangement, it will be a travesty.

Frankly, I think we end up long-term in Kurdistan trying to keep the Kurds and Turks from slicing each other up, and the Southern part of Iraq burns itself out as it "partitians" itself in an ugly way.

Welcome to Yugoslavia....
