I'm not sure that's the worst of it.

Say Obama or Clinton or McClain is the next President in 16 months.

Unless things are stable (and that seems unlikely, even if things are improving)... how does the next President get us out, without admitting that the whole thing was a mistake? And how does a President who presides over such a failure get re-elected? Will Republicans be willing to place blame on Bush if they manage to keep the White House? Will a Democrat be CAPABLE of placing blame on Bush if they manage to get the White House?

I'm not certain that a 1st term president would have the political courage to get us out of Iraq
