"But the primary consideration is that any withdrawal must NOT be perceived as a US retreat, but that the Iraqi government has taken the reins, for better or worse, and that our presence is no longer desired." No one will believe this. If it ends as badly as the hypotheses we talked about above, our exit will be perceived as a defeat and you and i and the good folks will have to grin and bear the defeat and continue from that point in fighting the wot. Wishing for victory in every battle in every location is not good strategy. In every war there are setbacks. Hell let the iranians fight the sunnis who come to sunnilands defense. Let the Turks go after the PKK in iran. Let the Iraqi kurds strike a peace deal with the turks.
