2. I am running out of sarcastic replies.

Wasn't there a report done by some Pentagon group that said we had three months to get things under control?

3. There are many who say we can't just leave...

but staying is worse than leaving. If we want to help the Iraqis, we should get our military out of there, help other countries (including Arab countries) set up a temporary government, help the UN set up a police force, and eventually help Iraq set up the government of their choice. Of course, there is no way in hell that Bushco will do anything remotely like that because of the markets that are being created. Just think how much of the $87bn will go to more killing and destruction (and creation of terrorists and America-haters).
