Please explain....are you advocating partitioning Iraq, as you did earlier? Turkey will invade a kurdish state that is no longer part of Iraq. The sunnis will not settle for living in a partition that contains no petroleum reserves and does not offer protections from attacks by kurds, iranians, and shi'a....the sunnis have made many enemies....and the southern region of a shi'a partition, the area that contains Iraq's only seaport, is a natural, petroluem rich and religiously aligned, potential new province of iran.
Who would provide the force to discourage interference by turks, iranians, and saudis?
If you refer to press coverage as "embeds", are you advocating a news
"blackout", which would result in all reporting coming from freelancers paid by al Jazeera, or other local news orgs, or a return to the free access that was experienced by the US press in their coverage of Vietnam.
If you advocate restriction of news reporting during wartime, wouldn't you agree that a "freedom loving" US president would allow open access to US reporters in Iraq, soon after declaring that "major combat operations have ended"?
