Reply #33: We leave, war between factions, roll of the dice who gains control

[Ready4Change]

If we pull out, the various armed factions will turn on each other to gain power. No way really of knowing when that will resolve itself, but a period of massive bloodshed is sure (sure if we stay, as well.)

Then, who is it who gains power and calms the situation? Who knows. However, with the anti-US sentiment now prevelent on that nation, you can be pretty sure they won't like us. Further, the borders are wide open, and radical groups can run back and forth at will. Iraq WILL be the terrorist training ground the Bush administration falsely claimed it was before starting the war.

All that said, I don't see us staying there, as we currently are, as offering any better hope. It just delays what is sure to follow.
