WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday proposed legislation that would bring American combat troops out of Iraq by August 2008 at the latest.

How nice. Withdraw troops in August before the 2008 elections and then say "See, we got our boys out of that mess, vote for us!"

I wonder if they plan on answering for the sectarian bloodbath that will follow troop withdrawal. Or do we just blame Bush and move on?

Who cares about sectarian bloodbath? As long as it's Sunnis and Shiites killing each other in Iraq instead of killing us in New York, it's totally fine. The real problem is Iraq becoming a breeding ground for INTERNATIONAL terrorism.

And the solution could be breaking Iraq up into at least 3 pieces that will hold homogenous population. For each find a leader, willing to be "our SOB" and having a reasonable support base in his territory (like it's been done in Afghanistan), give him our full political and material support, all under one condition - his territory will be completely clean of all international terrorist organizations. And make it very clear to him that if it's not - we'll come for him and he'll go the Saddam's way. No "democracy", no BS. Then we can withdraw. ...And start thinking of doing the same thing to Iran ;)
