re: I have finally heard what appears to be a Murtha like proposal emerging and one which I have been thinking about for some time (for obvious reasons), one which prescribes that our soldiers begin to retreat behind the safety of their bases, even if still in iraq, and allow the iraqi forces to take control. In other words create an intermediate situation by which our army is sort of not there anymore, by eliminating their presence from iraqi streets, and see what happens. Sounds like an easy thing to do and probably a valuable learning experience...but I am sure I am oversimplifying... Something like that seemed to have happened after the Mosque bombing. Our troops kept a "low profile". If Iraq evolves into a full civil war, I don't know how or who US troops fight? Who is the enemy? I wouldn't want to be the guy making the decisions at that point.
