Welcome to my Web
If America pulls out of Iraq with anything less than a Stable government (which could include a Strongman in power) in place, Iraq Could descend into sectarian Civil War. Which Could spread beyond her borders and engulf the entire region in war. If the entire region is at war the price of a barrel of oil will jump...how high U say...$150 to $200 a barrel. What then happens to the World economy, let alone the US economy? A SEVERE DEPRESSION results which makes the Great Depression of the 1930s look like prosperity.
EVEN if Iraq does not fall into CW, Iraq will at the very least will fall into the orbit of Iran. Which in of itself will destablize the region with resulting volitility in the price of a barrel of oil...
Its a lose lose situation all around...and like Kissengers says the only solution is victory in Iraq, the stakes are MUCH higher than it was in Vietnam. America is basically "all in" on Iraq.
