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. There is one other minor problem. None of the country you name has any interest in ending the war in iraq. Muslims aren't peacemakers, and the war in their back yard gives them a chance to sell weapons, try out new weapons and to send their restless fringe elements to fight someplace other than home. As for "Your oil" your oil companies make more money without the oil in Iraq than they will with it. And without it they will get to make even more money because they will have that nice alaskan oil to play with. Of course if you had won the war for Cuba, which you didn't, you could have the Cuban oil too, but no America had to play the Embargo game....
