The trends in Iraq do not look good for the U.S.

I disagree.

I do think whatever the fluctuations around the trends are large enough to make the trends hard to spot, so I think reasonable people can easily come to different conclusions but I see the government slowly getting more powerful vs. the insurgency, too slowly for my taste, I think there is a need to speed up this improvement but I think the improvement is there.

The U.S. is either going to have to find a way to win, or we will lose.

I would say the coalition and Iraqis are going to have to find a way to win, or the Iraqis are going to lose.

Worst case scenario for the US isn't that bad, withdraw all troops over the next two months and see what happens - it may end up in total anarchy for Iraq, but the US would be OK in 2007.
