>>" I think when the USA cuts and runs [sooner rather than later, and probably within King George II's term, contrary to his macho posturing], there will be substantial civil war as various factions fight for power at the point of a gun. There is already a fair bit of conflict and that's while the USA is providing a lot of force on the side of the current government. When that force is removed, countervailing forces will achieve a lot more. "<< Ok, we leave and the substantial civil war already happening becomes more substantial (although, that is just speculation) and the Turks, Syrians, Saudis, Iranians, Jordanians and Egyptians move in and become peacemakers just as NATO did in the Balkans and stop it since it is in their backyard and clearly very destructive to them. And we end up "cutting and running" and also living. Tsk, tsk, I know...too sensible...must be impossible. Oh darn it, I almost forgot...won't possibly work...Iraq has OUR oil.
