Forgive me if this idea ever gets taken up, but I think I've found a way to finally extricate the Bush/Blair alliance from Iraq.
Put simply:
Washington wants to end internicine strife in Iraq.
Washington wants to invade Iran.
Why not give the Iraqis a common cause and restart the Iran/Iraq war which brought Saddam so much success and get Iraq to invade Iran?
Fighting under one flag, the Iraqis have a sense of common purpose, and are too busy killing Iranians to care about the infidel. Whilst they're at it the alliance withdraws, and then waits for both sides to collapse under the weight of conflict and then uses covert means to place pro-west dictators in charge of the stricken states, thus restoring normalcy.
Yes, it's an old idea, but it may just work. (And they'll need to buy the weapons to fight with, so the war premium means its a win win!)
Sometimes I'm wasted in local goverment.
