Goodbye Iraq!

BBC News: Reports on the last visit to Iraq by President George W. Bush as President. At the end of the day the the United States has won in Iraq, yes there will be low level attacks, Israel has to put up with low level attacks, so this is not new to the region. The economic 9/11 that the West is now facing means we have to get out of Iraq, the government of Iraq has to take over the economic and military burden of running Iraq. The new Obama Administration with Robert Gates at Defence will get the USA out of Iraq with honour. How history will treat Bush 43 will depend how his successors manage the their problems. It can be argued that Bush 43 might not be the successor to Reagan, the bailout of different sectors negates that result but he might be the successor to President Truman, not a bad category.
