What would a realistic path out of Iraq look like?

A question to US service persons:

A) Is it true that the Iraqi federal leaders (especially the Shia leaders in parliament) have not truly been serious about unifying their country, nor working towards the reconciliation (with the Sunni, for example) that would be necessary towards establishing a peaceful society that is capable of policing itself?

B) And if the answer to question "A" is Yes, then wouldn't you say that what is needed is a way of pressuring those Iraqi leaders to work towards peace & reconciliation?

C) And if the answer to question B is also Yes, then would you say that by giving an ultimatum to those Shia leaders that withdrawal of US security & US civil infrastructure building/planning could happen unless they work towards reconciliation with the (Sunni/other minorities) be a potent way of forcing them to work towards reconciliation??

It seems that Obama鈥檚 plan is based on the above three questions/assumptions, therefore wouldn鈥檛 Obama be the best President to lead us to a stable resolution in Iraq, that would thus allow us to declare victory & leave??

I read today that the leadership is going to offer the Suni's equal power. That is probably the only answer for any peace in their country. Hopefully then they will be able to fight their own battles and be our partner against Al Qaeda.

tell me if i am wrong, but there wasnt much really goin on in Iraq until we invaded now was their~??!!

i mean the same as whats been goin on for the last thousand or so years, right~!!!

we could have Cheney take Saddam's place, plus we would give him full access tto the embassy of course, might do his heart some good, that swimming pool and basketball courts~!!!

I can't answer this question since I do not have my PHD in global foreign relations or the stats on oil output in the next 100 years.
