Remember the principle stated by Project for a New American Century. We must protection **OUR** oil. So much of the US military has now been deposited in Iraq that it will easily take a year to get out. We moved into Iraq to stay - as if we intend to rescue victims of a Hurricane Katrina disaster. It will easily take a year to leave - assuming the civil war does not break out.
It was no accident that a massive (but not majority) of the US military is in Iraq. We moved in to stay permanently as a 1996 PNAC doctrine stated. We moved in to stay permanently despite administration denials. Massive amounts of permantly fixed and very secret equipment must be removed. It will take that much longer to leave.
