15 years, Teribus?

Not likely.

Notice how enthusiastic the UK is about the assignment you have given the West. The US is not much more eager.


And, as I have noted, if "Kurdistan" goes its own way--not de jure, but de facto--"Iraq", which was an artificial construction from the start, you may remember-- will never be reconstituted as it was before 1990. Particularly since the southern Shiites will want a similar arrangement.

Also note how much progress Petraeus--- who is a bit more realistic than you, to say the least--is claiming. Precious little.

Funny you should cite Bosnia--that is exactly the model here. Now, tell me, has Yugoslovia been re-established? And this is at the end of your 15-year period. It might help if you actually read what you yourself write.

It's time for you to wake up.
