So .... if the Iraqi government collapses ...... then what?
My local 11.00 newz ran a story about a near total lack of confidence in Al Malaki. There is nmow talk of a vote of no confidence in the entire parliament within a week. Sunni and Shia leaders are said to be issuing *joint* statements to the citizenry to take up arms to protect themselves and their communities against outsiders and various and sundry other bad guys.

That kinda sounds like anarchy to me.

So what does this mean for our (hahahaha) 'mission' in Iraq. What will be the new reason to stay the course? Will Congress stand for much more?

Not lookin' so good for Gin Blossom Georgie.

2. He
will have to resign for anything to change. He isn't budging.
I'm glad the pressure is building on him though.

4. So after our puppet government collapse and we withdraw
I guess the winner of the civil war gets to rule. That is if the entire region isn't pulled into the fight. What ever the outcome america should have to pay that country reparations for years to come and Bush should be jailed and fined, everything he and Cheney owns should be seized by the US government to help pay the reparations.
