Strangely enough, your position looks most like the left's position. Ha ha. My "position" on what the US should do in Iraq is officially......"I don't know". Is that the left's position? I thought what you wrote below was your position. If so, I think most on the left would say we should leave.....maybe not precipitously as you put it but staged over a period of time. And then let the chips fall where they may: "But....I would argue that PRECIPITOUSLY LEAVING is very high in the self interest of the US, and letting Sunni and Shia descend into civil war pretty much eliminates the ME Islamofascist (for lack of a better term) threat to the US until their war ends, which might be a few decades (or a few weeks, who knows?)." However, they probably wouldn't agree with the last part of your position shown below, but then I think you know when you're starting to skid off the edge and mostly do it for the drama of it all. "Once it does end, if the winner is not to our liking, we can easily invade and destroy the winner (something we are very good at)."
