oooops lol ANTHONY CORDESMAN, IRAQ EXPERT WITH THE CENTER FOR STRATEGIC AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES THINK TANK IN WASHINGTON


"No one can predict where Iraq will be in five years' time and it is almost absurd to try. What one can predict is what it will take to create an Iraq with some degree of security and stability.


"The Iraqis must steadily move towards political accommodation, develop far more effective governance and security forces, use their oil export revenues in ways that serve all of Iraq's people, and use the security forces to bring security to all Iraqis without favoring one ethnicity or sect.


"The U.S. must shape its force reductions to conditions in Iraq, not rush them to suit some timetable dictated by U.S. domestic politics, and must continue to provide advisers and aid until Iraq is ready to stand on its own. All the other scenarios end in failure for Iraq, defeat for the U.S., and far more serious security problems throughout the Gulf."
