That's what I predicted for rationale, we gave them the opportunity, they blew it. Wash may hands and go home.

The iraqis will ask us to leave and we will. We will have traded in a brutal dictatorship for chaos. Maybe we get lucky and avoid full scale civil war but the terrorism continues against the shiaa and the shiaa will boil over again. Only hope is giving dod and interior to secular folks and in return the dead foreign jihadists back to the shiaa. If they can think straight all three groups in iraq would see this in their interest.

It could be the beginnings of a pull out strategy that basically blames everything on the Iraqis.

Iraqis and weak-kneed Democrats who live in a "pre 9/11 world." Rove will see to it that anti-war people will be blamed for undermined morale in the homeland.
