Thanks for ping.
Sure Putin is for our taking the casualties as would be China. Weaken America more is what is in their interests. I am sure Iran also wants us to kill their enemies.
There is only one way forward. Iraq has to stand up. But before they stand up, they have to wake up. Nothing wakes them up faster than to set a deadline e.g. Constitution, voting, government just add 'we're out of there date'. No WMD, no Saddam our mission is accomplished.

There is only one way forward. Iraq has to stand up. But before they stand up, they have to wake up. But WHO this "Iraq" or "they" are? Shia led by Muqtada al-Sadr (the ones who executed Saddam Hussein), Sunni with remnants of Baath Party, Kurds, or Mr. Chalabi?
The plain fact is that removal of the former regime effectively decapitated Iraqi state. It will take time before new head (or several) will grow up.
