This could mean implementing a new attack plan, or it could mean withdrawal of troops IF the Iraqi government is not meeting the benchmarks set for it. While I believe we owe it to the Iraqi people to stay and do what we promised we'd do, I also believe that if they are not putting their best efforts into sustaining their new government I see no reason to spill any more American blood or treasure.

I'm genuinely curious, because I haven't seen anything but "stay the course" rhetoric since the Surge was introduced and I, quite frankly, don't want to see my entire generation spent policing a civil war in the Middle East.
