The Bush plan is to have a permanent military force in the middle of the ME. They may draw down but the plan is not to withdraw. Which is not that big of a deal, you know. The US has a permanent military base on Cuba. There are permanent bases in Japan, and 99.9% of the Japanese never interact with US soldiers (as long as you don't live right next to the base and see the soldiers in the karaoke bar, the presence is invisible). And, if the elected Iraqi government asks the US to exit the base, the US is going to do it. Maybe kicking and screaming (and offering $$billions to stay), but in the end the US will leave. Its happening as we speak in one of the 'stans (either Kyrgistan, Uzbekistan or Tajikistan, I can't remember).
