8. Kentuck your ideas make so much sense! And, it could be done on a
graduated basis, but start immediately! And, it could be kept secret (the only case I would say for any secrecy would be this one) from the press, so that they don't characterize it as a withdrawl. That way the Chimp/PNAC'ers can save some face and we who want to get out of there immediately could compromise just enough by allowing bases but no active troops in Baghdad, so that the "Iraqi people can actually begin to do what the PNAC'ers said they lied to get us into the war, to do."

Unfortunately, I think Bush's corporatists would never go for this idea. And, who knows if PNAC'ers would accept this anyway, because they seem to be fine with the situation the way it is. They seem to "get off" on challenge of killing and carnage and mismanagement.

But, if only your ideas could be discussed........ Even a total anti-war nut like me, could deal with what you propose, if it was a serious effort.
