McGrath! You actually have the idea in you head that the USA intends EVER to leave Iraq??? After closing all their bases in Saudi? And after building the world's biggest embassy building in an Iraqi city?
Only the naive could harbour such a notion. The US will leave Iraq when they are physically forced out, or when they are convinced that it is not in American interest to be there. Wait and watch the political skulduggery when any key position in an Iraqi government is filled by one who just might be anti american occupation, or who is brave enough to openly be anti-american. Don't you watch some of the shit that goes on in central America?
