OK, we will leave...you can take your chances with the Kurds and the shiites. Good Luck.

Perhaps we should consider creating a Kurd State and a Shi'ite State in the former Iraq. Grant each of them their independence, concentrate our forces around Tikrit and kill as many of the Sunni bastards as it takes to make them submissive. Then let the Kurds and the Shi'ites take care of any leftovers who choose to threaten anybody anywhere.
