If the Iraq puppet govt asks us to stay

then we are fucked.
Every politician in the United States will get in line for the continued occupation, draft, etc....

1. The country (Iraq) will then descend even further into chaos.

One way or another, the US will have to leave. Already there are reports of the US floating the idea that maybe leaving would be less harmful to the stability of Iraq then staying.

2. they wont leave

as soon as the troops leave that puppet government is gone. its all about controling them oil fields

3. Sooner or later

the Iraqis must/should be in control of the oilfields. Their oilfields. It looks like the majority is tired of the occupation. I wouldn't be surprised if they ask the coalition to leave. If the puppet government falls and civil war breaks out, the Shiites will win and most probably form an Islamic government. Well, it's their country.

4. Bush is asking for $50 Billion for 2005...

Ever.
