I'll preface my comments with stating that I was and am opposed to the invasion of Iraq in the first place; but since we did invade I suppose that now we 'own it' .. IF you listen to President Bush on Wednesday, exactly what would you like him to say to you? OK .. I'll bite <g> .. Admission that Iraq is a label and not a country .. That our policy going forward will be to facilitate the re-rationalization of the region along ethnic/sectarian lines in as peaceful a manner as possible involving all groups/states ie Jordan/Saudi/Iran/Syria/Turkey; something that should have been done after WWI .. Hand the administration of Baghdad off to the UN .. as a UN protectorate with the goal of peaceful self administration by the locals .. Have US troops withdraw to their desert bases No longer functioning as the greater Baghdad Police Force .. Negotiate a oil revenue sharing agreement among all ethnic factions and get production back on the world market .. Refocus on cleaning up Al Quida and strengthening the Afghan government .. Put more pressure on Pakistan or actively help them root out Taliban remnants .. Transition the entire operation to a UN administered action over time .. Triff ..
