Default Re: Iraq : The Logic Of Disengagement

On a BBC debate last week an ex-senior MI6 officer argued that most of the insurgents were nationalists rather than jihadis or Baathists, and that once the foreign troops left they would swiftly end any cooperation with the likes of "al-Qa'ida in Iraq" and boot them out. Perhaps a little optimistic but I think there's an element of truth to it.

Putting Saddam back in power is a stupid idea.
