How to extract ourselves will be a big problem. We need to stay long enough to get a new government, Islamic police, etc., going without overstaying our welcome. We also have to make it clear to everybody that we're not trying to create a colony, satellite state, or crony government. It's going to be dicey. That, plus a lot of the Baathist party people have simply gone into the woodwork and they can be expected to try some pretty spectacular terrorism against our troops there.
