It's time to turn Iraq back over to the region. It's worth a try-but if it doesn't work-we won't be back.

1. Other ME countries weren't willing to go into Iraq
when this started, why would they want to now? They don't owe the US anything for high oil prices, if the US stopped buying it tomorrow, China would pick up the slack the day after that. Besides, very little US oil comes from the Middle East. Most US oil comes from Canada, Mexico and Latin America

2. I think ME leaders would like us out, whether they agreed on the invasion
or not. Why not see if they could come up with a plan.
