Cutting and Running

I love the response “but we can’t cut and run from Iraq!” For the last three years, I have been saying exactly two things about Iraq — that it will end badly (sooner or later) and that the United States will cut and run (sooner or later).

Since I see no evidence that Americans really intend to stay permanently there (plans are not real evidence; colonies of American civilians settling outside the Green Zone would be evidence), the US military will eventually leave. And that will be cutting and running. What choice is there?
