I don't think the problems will totally evaporate if we leave...but the way we are occupying Iraq now, the problems will never leave, either.

Bush has put us in a position where Iraq is damned if we do, damned if we don't...but if we stay, at least we can make some money off the deal, I guess.

We need an entirely new strategy, an exit strategy, if you will...one that first fixes the infrastructure, and one that removes the "Iraq, brought to you by Halliburton!" billboards from their countryside.

As long as we have all our fingers in all their pies, we will have to be occupiers...as long as we are occupiers, we will have insurgents...as long as we have insurgents, we will have death and destruction...and as long as we have death and destruction...American corporations will continue to make money off the deal.

Fish on...
