Time for Iraq to stand on their own two feet as a sovereign nation. Let the prime minister take his responsibility seriously, as if his life depends on it, as it really does. Let the Iraqi army take responsibily of security and training under the PM's direction, on his terms, under his direction. Let the blood bath spill on his hands, whatever it takes to succeed is OK by me. 4th down and ten to go, hike.
Mission accomplished
, we achieved our goals. We've done everything we can to give Iraq a Democratic government, a trained army, and a hopeful future. The rest is up to them. We can supply them with the hardware, the knowledge, and endless encouragement. But we can't endow them with the will to succeed, that has to come from within. If they don't have that will by now, they never will.
The time has come, put up or pull out. Stop wasting my countries resources in lives and wealth, we've gained litte to nothing for our endeavors.
PS... Maybe the French can lend them a hand.
