Really? How? What if the Iraqi's aren't ready to take final unaided control in 2009?

And would that plan even be possible had it not been for the success of the surge?

Tough shit, we ain't their babysitters.

This is such a joke. We dump 30000 troops into Baghdad and violence naturally goes down. The bad guys put their guns away and say fine, we can wait till they leave, they are going broke fighting this war and Americans will not stand for it forever. Just like Viet Nam, and just like the Russians in Afghanistan. It's called perseverance and they know damn well they have alot more of that than America.

The bad guys will come out of the woodwork when we pull out, does not matter if it's 16 or 60 months.
