Subject: RE: BS: Immediate vs phased withdrawal from Iraq
Well, yeah, I've been one of the most vocal critic of Bush's invasion and occupation of Iraq but even I can't go for an immediate withdrawl...

But what I can live is a timetable to be announced shortly after a Middle East Summit and an attempt to revive something that looks like the original "Saudi Proposal" that I put forth in the made-dash-to-Iragmire....

It is now very much in everyone's interests that some level of stability be preserved while the Iragi's fight it out and that is going to take a more comprehensive agreement that deals not only with Iraq but also the Isreali/Palestinian situation, Iran and other regional conflicts... And it's gonna involve talking directly with Iran and Syria...

Yeah, revive the "Saudi Proposal" and see what it has to offer the region is the first step....
