Possible Plan "B" (or "C" or "D")
How is this for a quick thought?
At present the Iraq War is costing the United States in excess of one billion dollars a week, over 3,500 American deaths and over 29,000 wounded in a little over four years. In addition, we have upset things in Iraq (to say the least) and do have some kind of a responsibility to help them put things back in shape.
How about we give the Iraqi government $25,000,000,000, or half a year's cost for us, pull our troops out, which would stop American losses, and let the Iraqi people settle their own civil war. Is that a form of bribery? Sure. But maybe, just maybe, that will help to clean up some of our mess. After all, Sunni and Shiia have been fighting each other for over 1,400 years and no matter how much we spend and give in blood, we aren't going to change anything. So let's just pay them off, pack up and go home. It'll be cheaper in the long run.
