The whole "pulling out" thing is deceptive. It refers only to the military. The US and its allies will still be there in the form of both government agencies and private companies. They're just trying to get the big green bull out of the ceramics shop because when it breaks stuff it makes big nasty headlines.

I disagree with the idea that we should continue to fuck the Iraqi chicken. Sometimes you fuck up and cut your losses. There is no way to make this a positive. Whether we leave now or a decade from now won't prevent the inevitable civil war. In the throes of "freedom," Iraqis will beat on each other.

We didn't belong there. We don't belong there. And it doesn't take a genius to see that they're not buying what the Great White Cowboy is selling.
