I believe the US will contract with Iran to take over in Iraq. We need to change our polarized mindset of staying-in or getting-out. The idea is to force the situation to its conclusion through natural consequence of the policy. The natural consequence will likely be that the resources and interest for the war will eventually burn out. The US will probably need to suffer more poverty, political failure, and deprivation on a larger scale before we are forced to quit. We certainly aren't going to gain much wealth by continuing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The generation that doesn't really understand the origins of Iraq will be the ones to bring its closure.

Anyone who reads about Iraq on the net knew this would happen. The surge was a farce. The only question is if Obama will display the wisdom and courage to withdraw for a lost cause. http://www.sandersresearch.com/index.php?option=c...

Washington speaks with forked tongue. The only way they'll leave is by being forced out!

The Americans have absolutely no intention of leaving Iraq and will intensify the black flag operations called "sectarian" violence by them in order to use that as an excuse to stay in the cities. There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that almost ALL of the Sunni on Shiaa violence in the past few years has been created by black flag operations. How else to explain the peaceful coexistance of both Muslim sects for centuries and then suddenly they are at each others throats…….. Divide and conquer.

Where the US goes, death and misery inevitably follow. The black "messiah" will turn out to be no different than the mass murderer Bush.
