Stan Goff, Feral Scholar, Ex-Special Forces:

“Declare intent and a unilateral ceasefire. Open discussions for coordination immediately with major militias who enjoy local popular support. Prepare Kuwait with transient tent city for a BIG influx of troops and vehicles next to the airport.

Throw out the embedded press (they will turn it into a circus of perceived US humiliation).

Orders to leave everything non-essential. Prepare to destroy-in-place lethal armaments that are not carried. Begin pre-positioning convoy support.”

Set up tactical air support corridors from base to base leading south, and run serial convoys with massive force (base to base) to Kuwait, reprovisioning at each base from pre-positioned logistical stores.

Vehicles that break down for more than two hours would be destroyed-in-place with thermite (an incendiary that melts the engines).

Airlift the remaining troops from the bases into Kuwait. Airlift all from Kuwait to the US. Establish airlift security at each base with whichever militia enjoys the most local popular support.

Whole process: one month to get into Kuwait, a couple more to complete the redeployment out of Kuwait.”

From the comments to This Post @ Feral Scholar

FYI follows:

This is the current (and any visible future) U.S. regime’s message to Iraq:

What We Want:

The job @ hand is to MAKE our government do this, because it has become quite apparent they have no intention of doing what at least 50% of the American population wants.

However, just 19 percent of the people surveyed said they planned to go out and spend the (economic stimulus) money; 45 percent said they’d use it to pay bills. And nearly half said what the government really should do is get out of Iraq.

Forty-eight percent said a pullout would help fix the country’s economic problems “a great deal,” and an additional 20 percent said it would help at least somewhat. [src]

That means 68% of the American population thinks getting out of Iraq would make their country a better place, yet their leaders balk and stall.

Because, graphically:

Yes, Yes they are.

…And it’s time to call them to account.
