Subject: RE: BS: Immediate vs phased withdrawal from Iraq
Oh, it'll have to be a staged withdrawal. The US forces must either be replaced by Iraqi forces...or by international forces that did not participate in the original invasion. Since the latter mission is quite unlikely to attract any willing volunteers to put their people at risk, I guess it will have to be the former. Figure a year to disengage. I'd be surprised if they could manage it sooner than that.
