    BTW, you should have given a choice for cleaning up our mess from a completely mismanaged execution of a UN resolution.

    Try to stay on topic jimmy. This thread is about Iraq, not laxatives.

    Back on topic...


    Make the Iraqi army start to control certain sectors of Iraq with absolutely no US intervention. If they can handle it, give them more. If they get their asses kicked, make sure the terrorists stay in that sector and let them fight it out. Until we make the Iraqi army accountable, we will continue to fight their battles and more Americans will die.

    I think we should give Iraq one sector: the whole country. It's sink-or-swim time.

    I would love to, but I think we need about a year to phase ourselves out of there. Then we should make it a sink or swim deal.

    Realistically, it very well may take that long to drawn down in a safe manner, as to not put any of our troops in danger. We have a lot of shit over there. It's going to take a huge effort to get it out.

    I'm sure it will take us that long to withdraw completely. I'm not naive enough to think we can wave a magic wand and see everyone home tomorrow. But we should start with that withdrawal now.

    Well there's a couple thousands troops lives wasted and billions to achieve nothing if we pull out. Tho I never quite knew what we were trying to achieve anyway.

    The fact you do not have clue to what the troops were accomplishing in Iraq is not a shocking revelation
