Anybody who claims to have a plan to fix the mess in Iraq is
automatically suspect, as far as I'm concerned.  It ain't fixable.  As
Donald Rumsfeld predicted, it is a quagmire.  (Yeah, Rumsfeld.  Years
earlier, when somebody suggested we invade.)

According to the Council on Foreign Relations, the Demos have a number of plans:

And this is better than stay the course?

Would some real leaders please rise up?

I've said this before, but it bears repeating I believe.
The situation in Iraq is not a quagmire.
It is a Tarbaby
Iraq will not sink the US.
But involvement in Iraq will stick to anyone who gets their hands in 
it and the stains will stay on us for a long time. It will take a lot, 
a whole lot of cleaning to to remove *most* of those stains, but 
removing all those stains will take a lot of work and a lot of time. 
And until the stains are removed anyone involved closely with us is 
likely to get a bit on them too.

Well.. I understand why most people would say that. But in 
fact we could leave any time we wanted to. if we possessed 
the will to do so.
The fact that we are still there and likely to remain for a good while 
tells me that we are concerned more with how we look to the rest of 
the world and more importantly how we would view ourselves if we did 
indeed leave after creating (to a great degree the situation there is 
result of our actions) a very messy situation.

To clarify my remark that you respond to, Iraq will not cause the 
downfall of the US.
But because we disdain having anything less than the most positive 
self-image, we will continue to tell ourselves (in our weird national 
dialogue/monologue via the unique American metaconsciousness) that 
great gobs of tar are the merest of smudges, and if anyone gives 
notice of our La Brea coif we will point out the stains remaining from 
their own historical tarbaby encounters.
(I often wonder if our national metaconsciousness is incapable of 
appreciating irony)
