New Report Recommends Iraq Handover in 5 Years



5 years or 50 years. The day our troops leave is the day the civil
war explodes. Don't you get it? The only reason they aren't killing
each other faster is because they all hate us more. I still don't get
why you aren't over there helping.


Right. Anybody who thinks we can successfully referee the
blood feud between the Sunnis and Shiites in Iraq is
ignorant of the history of the Sunni-Shiite split following
the death of Muhammed. They have been at each other's
throat in one way or another for about a millenium and a
half now.

Right. But 5 (more) years is all we need to broker a lasting peace.
