Cut and run?
I'm coming to the realization the US will inevitably fail in Iraq. Violence continues to plague Baghdad and Mosul. Each day brings news of more setbacks as the battles in Falluja and Mosul seem to have had little impact in quelling the insurgency. The rhetoric of the US and Iraqi governments has been supported with inaction. The battle for "hearts and minds" has been won by the insurgents and Al Qaida.
Withdrawal from Iraq will constitute a failure, persisting with the occupation propels that failure further. I wonder whether Middle-East chaos was the US governments plan from the beginning. I just can't imagine how military and administration planners could be so inept.

Kudos, I couldn't agree more. The question on my mind is, when we lose... what then? Another fallen empire?
The truth of it as far as I'm concerned is they didn't EVER think about what to do with the country once they had it, short of securing lucrative contracts to line their own pockets.
The new school of world domination is not interested in acquiring land. The only goal is increasing wealth. Land, in our age, is only another investment, and Iraq's land has very little value to foreigners. It is what’s underneath the land, and how to most efficiently harvest and market it, that has value. THAT is the American way.
