Hurst is an idiot but i think you need to understand that american presence in an arab country for an extended period of time is doomed to failure. Surge has been a success and now its time to start bowing out and not digging in. Shiaa iraq will be contested in the south by al sadr vs the others. Kurds run their piece regardless of what we do. And the sunnis will have to settle for minority status with the payoff being federalism and sharing oil royalties. It will not always be perfect and it will be sometimes violent but such an arrangement should hold now that al quaeda is gone. Can i guarantee this arrangement as being long term successful--nope. Can you guarantee american base camps as you describe being long term successful---nah. The only think i can guarantee is the extrication of american soldiers and contractors from what is mostly and internal and civil strife type of situation. Americans wont die and although we will still help, the enourmous amounts of money be spent on iraq will stop.
