Danzig,
I really did read the article you put up. Thanks for it.
I'm not sure about how things will shake out in Iraq.
I'll just say that in my humble opinion, it won't be solved militarily. Wars never have been before. It all comes down to those that sit down at a table and negotiate a "political" settlement.
Sure, many lves are expended to getting to that point.
It's sad for me to say that, but history has proven so time and again.
That said, I don't think Iraq will be solved in an improving way unless and until Malili sits down with Sardr (sp), a Kurd, and a representative from (don't fall down) Iran. The US has to allow them to negotiate.
While they talk, we have a way to redeploy our troops to a position away from the battlefield. There really is nothing more we can do to improve the situation. Our brave troops have certainly done their best.
I don't think Great Britain wants any more involevment and they'll be going away sooner than later. Blair is being questioned.
Leave out the UN.
If you will allow a "poker" metaphor...
When you hold cards, you have the luxury of betting big. If you don't, you can bluff for a while...until you're called and the bet is too big for you to continue with what you're holding.
Then, you fold. Throw your cards on the table and let the others around the table to decide how the pot gets divided.
It all happens around a table.
There will be other hands dealt.
I hope this makes sense to you.
