I'd be far more interested to know what the people of Iraq would have to say about the items on my list. And my list doesn't have a time frame attached to it, so it would be possible to keep US and British forces in Iraq until next year and also implement my suggestions. Or the US and British forces could be replaced by forces that are not plagued with conflicts of interest as the US and British forces are.

However, there are also several items in my list that can be done whether or not US and British forces remain in Iraq. I notice you are studiously avoiding those.
