Ranger, you know it isn't possible for the U.S to just leave the country. It would be the admission that all this was a big mistake. Be realistic, you see George doing that?
I think Swamp-T is right, the UN have to be involved, it is the only practical solution. The problem is, the more the US wait, the more angry the Iraqis will get, and the less likely it will be that the situation will ever be stabilized.

I must say I find it hard to believe how many mistakes the Bush planners made. I know they'll want to maintain a presence, in order to get some of their investment back, but I don't see how it will be possible, what with the Iraqis wanting them out.
