Well, I dunno about that; I suspect it won't be that easy. For all that
you can say bad about Bush/Cheney, they did one thing perfectly:

They created the "Perfect Storm" of a 'war' in Iraq.

Screwed if we stay (more American lives lost, continuing ten billion
dollar a month drain on our already ailing economy).

Screwed if we go (major destabilization of the mid east, civil war and
maybe worse).

No way out, no exit strategy.

Oooops, sorry, George H.W. already said that years ago in his Gulf War I
book.

Heck of a job, W...

Iraq We Broke It -&- We Need To Stay and Fix It
-cause- The Alternative Costs To Much [.]

OK Lets Do-the-Math :

1 - The Iraq Peace Keeping {Stabilization} is Costing
the USA 10 Billion Dollars a Month.

2 - The USA is currently spending about 25 Billion Dollars
a Month for Imported Crude Oil.

3 - Leaving Iraq causes it to Destablise in to Civil War
and that results in the Stopage of Oil Production in Iraq
and a Short-fall in World Oil Production.

4 - As a Result of the Iraqie Civil War and Short-Fall in
World Oil Production : Other Nations Increase their Oil
Production But Not Enough to Make Up The Short-Fall.

5a - The Good News the Price of Crude Oil only Increases
50% as a Result of the Iraq Civil War and Short-Fall in
World Oil Production : Monthly Cost of the USA Getting
Out of Iraq Now At Any Cost an Extra 12.5 Billion Dollars
a Month for Imported Crude Oil -versus- 10 Billion for the
Iraq Peace Keeping {Stabilization}.

5b - The Bad News the Price of Crude Oil Increases by
100% as a Result of the Iraq Civil War and Short-Fall in
World Oil Production : Monthly Cost of the USA Getting
Out of Iraq Now At Any Cost ADDs an Extra 25 Billion
Dollars a Month for Imported Crude Oil -versus- 10 Billion
for the Iraq Peace Keeping {Stabilization}.

The Iraq Peace Keeping {Stabilization} Makes Dollars and
Sense as a Cost of Keeping Iraq Oil Pumping and Flowing
into the World Oil Market. ~ RHF
