We didnt leave it up to the Japanese and Germans how long we stayed. A sufficient base in an isolated area would not have been unreasonable to demand.

And I believe Iraq said no. So you're saying we should have laid claim to an area and stayed there anyway?

Yes sir. We should’ve stayed anyway. Far enough out there where we dont have to drive by IEDs but close enough to have an A10 or F16 over the trouble in minutes. However since hindsight is always 20/20 I think at this point the chips should fall where they may. This Sunni/Shia conflict is a lose lose for us. In a nutshell, I think Ripley says it best.
