The US will never leave Iraq. It will always have military forces present - when people talk about 'exit strategies' I increasingly think they are viewing the situation in a backwards way.

Iraq was the exit strategy out of Saudi Arabia.

The West is able to have direct influence in the Middle East without a reliance on an increasingly unstable Saudi partnership. The oil will still flow.

Turkey diesel, baby! THAT'S the exit strategy.

Well, either that or hydrogen powered cars using seawater for the base material.

The sooner the better for the entire world. 25 cent tax on every gallon of gas, entire amount collected split between the first three companies to come up with a workable hyrdrogen power solution.
