The Army’s budgetary squeeze raises questions about whether the United States can “stay the course” in Iraq even if it wants to. While the world has focused on Lebanon, Iraq has been sliding downhill fast. U.S. officials battling the counterinsurgency who were positive six months ago are now far more skeptical that the center can hold.

If we pull out of Iraq because we ran out of money and/or materials that, in a war of attrition, is a clean loss.

To the degree all that unnecessary death can be called clean, anyway.
