Time to partition Iraq and get the hell out.No no no no. That's what the Dems want. It won't work. If the U.S. even suggests that to the Iraqis they really will fall apart and have a civil war. If Iraq falls the jihad will grow a hundredfold.

I thought we should have partitioned a long time ago. The Brits and the French screwed this one up long ago. Kurdistan was to be it's own nation and they were betrayed by the Brits and the French. Iraq is an artificial country that will continue to have ethnic and sectarian violence. The neo-cons in my opinion were very ignorant of the hatred between the groups.
Twenty million Kurds between Turkey, Iran and Iraq. We could have a permanent ally for the next 50 years, but we are afraid of change. Our policy in the Middle East is ran be the State Department that does not want to piss off the Turks. The cold war is over and the Turks are going militant Islamic over time. No permanent allies, just interests. The Kurds would be grateful for a long time.
I thought Bush the elder should have done this back during the first gulf war, but he had no vision either.
