This will be a good test on exactly how much sovereignty we are giving to the Iraqi government.
Will we "allow" the Iraqi government to dictate when we leave?
Personally I think having the Iraqi government tell us to leave is the only way we (US) can salvage this goat-rope.
We could leave with honour (or as much as possible) and when the spam hits the fan we can say, "hey, we were told to leave."
Please al-Maliki, tell us to go home. Pretty please?????
