Who wants to steal their borders? They are fighting an insugency, not a conventional war. Personally I don't care what they can defend or not defend, we need to leave and the sooner the better.

End game...once they can protect their borders, we pull out completely.

The Iraqi government is now responsible of what goes on in Iraq. We turned over control.

I don't think anyone believes that they can properly protect their borders, so we hang out in desert bases until they finally can.

After that...we should go.

In a perfect world we would leave, say “I'm very sorry”, and pin BigOil/Cheney to the wall in court and have their sentence be to make financial reparations to the cities and artifacts and families destroyed out of their profits over the next, oh, say 20 years. Like child support. OK, make it 18 years for the baby they created.

This would be poetic justice at its finest. Keep a minimum of troops there as a police force of sorts.

Apparently, what we need is what we had: an anti-Iran, anti-terrorist, secular strongman who obviously controlled the situation SO much better than we have.

Well we are leaving Joe. Iran or no Iran.

[meaning the United States could be pulled back into Iraq at the least opportune time and place]–

Don't think so. I think we are done with Iraq. To whomever fills the void, good luck sucker.
