[Courage the Cowardly Dog]

Is there any way to withdraw from Iraq without the government collpasing and a resulting civil war so huge that all neighbours are drawn in and whoever has the most guns (Al Qaeda right now) will then rule the country?

Maybe we shouldn't have gone in but fighting a losing war is different from allowing a terrorist network to control an entire state and prepare to attack us while we aren't fighting them.

We have to be able to get out WITHOUT the government we set up collapsing and being over run by Iranian political groups and Alqaeda who are only gonna make things much worse for us on an international and terror scale.

Our dying troops aren't just fghting a slowly losing (or winning depending on who you ask) battle they are holding back gigantic floodgates. If you think the rebels are bad now? Wait till they have their own government and terrorist state like the Taliban had.

If we pull out without huge amounts of UN peace keeping troops we are more screwed then if we stay, and the people we came to help are more screwed as well.

How can it get worse then now? Alqaeda could win the civil war and have it's own state. Who do you think is gonna stop them then when they try to start a nuclear war with Israel? France maybe?
