Reply #126: To be clear, I am not advocating walking away. I am advocating having

a national referendum in Iraq on the question of whether or not they want us there.

If they say no, then we should leave.

If they say yes, then we should stay, but the Iraqi people, by a clear majority, need to say they will serve along side American soldiers against their own countrymen. If they say they will do that, then there may be some sense in staying.

Over all I believe the Iraqi people want us out of there now, regardless of how livid you get at the prospect. I trust the Iraqi people to make that determination more than I trust you.

Good night for now.
