I don't think we can say they never will. How many years do we give them at $100-150 billion per year? Some would say we can't afford not to stay as long as it takes, but that's a pretty big open-ended chit we are signing with such a commitment. Ironically, Obama or Hillary would probably do the same as McCain, just sooner, withdrawing troops to more secure bases and phasing the total troop level down over time. The question is do we do it sooner or later? Anyone who has watched a screwed up Third World country try to get its act together knows how long the odds of success can be.
