"Iraqization" is the next step in the process of withdrawal...

[kentuck]

Some folks here will remember the "Vietnamization" of the Vietnam War. It was to permit the Vietnamese to form their own "democracy" and run their own country. It was an "honorable" way for the Americans to withdraw from the debacle known as the Vietnam War.

Now, thirty years later, we are about to embark on the same withdrawal strategy. Delusional politicians will sacrifice many more lives before anything is resolved.

1. What's the alternative?

Turn it over to Iraqis and go. Maybe it works maybe it doesn't.
