It is way over my pay grade~ sNort~ to make much sense of any of it.
I only hope that we are not selling out the Iraqis for the false alliance of the French, Germans, and Russians.
I know it's old fashioned, but as an American, I'd like to leave with some honor.

I hope so, but IMO, the jihadis will try and make it hard.
IMO, beginning right around the time of the handover in Baghdad. And continuing into the US election season. Their aim will be to make it appear as a US withdrawal in the face of a jihadi onslaught. As the jihadi press is potraying Falluja and it's current neoTaliban regime.
But the Saudi Jihad remains. Nothing much happening there except hope that chaos doesn't develop. The monies still flow daily into jihadi coffers worldwide.
