Teribus - Then you agree that Dickey is an idiot for assuming that surrender is even possible.

Dickey needs to realize that withdrawl does not mean surrender and that al Qaeda has no reason to be in Iraq except to target the U.S. If the U.S. goes, al Qaeda will stop their attacks. If the U.S. goes, the Mahdi Army will also stop attacking the U.S. That leaves the Iraqi govt. to sort out their own problems.
