What happens if all out Civil War and Rioting occur in Iraq?

What will happen to our troops?

There are approximately 25 million Iraqis in that country, what if they all decide to just shove us out all at once?

As each day of unrest continues, I wonder if we aren't close to having a huge showdown.

4. Already happening

The move to attack Syria shows how bad it's getting. The rovians are getting desperate.

You'll know it's really bad when we start seeing security alerts again.

We get our asses handed to us, because they hate each other, but they hate us more.

God only knows....

8. Domino theory? The various ...stans don't need our help for that

But we might just have sparked the fire with our interference.

You don't get a riot without pissing some people off.

9. this is what happens

Our troops pull out of civilian areas and protect only our bases and the corporate conquests such as oil fields, while Iraqis die daily in the streets by the tens of thousands. Bush administration blames Newsweek and the U.S. public gladly accepts new "temporary" restrictions on our "out of control" media.
