If we do, it'll be like 'Nam when we pulled out - just walked away and let it fall - hardly Nixon's "peace with honor". We can't walk now, it's chaos. I hope we don't install Chalabi (sp) - if we pick an interim ruler, it'll be like Iran and the Shah all over again. I don't see a nice outcome.

Aye but with 'Nam we weren't really in the same position. I'm also not to sure if GB will hold to it or not. The Iraqi's are all clamoring that they don't need us there, they are capable of rebuilding their infrastructure by themselves. Personally I hope we do leave and their country freakin' implodes. IIRC it's supposed to be a governing body of 8 or so people while (if) they move towards building a functioning government. I think you're correct though, I can certainly see one of the prominent clerics suddenly popping up as the new dictator.
