The whole wait them out argument is fallacious. The insurgents aren't going anywhere (they, like, live there, like ya know?) so we can't actually wait them out. The rest of the Muslim world is pissed off we're there. If the plans to parcel out the oil reserves to Brit and US companies comes off, the rest of the world will be pissed off (not that they aren't already.) We're losing 2-10 soldiers a day, the Iraqis are losing 50-100 civilians a day, with no end in sight.
The kicker?
Leaders of Iraq's sharply divided Shiites, Kurds and Sunnis called Monday for a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S.-led forces in the country and said Iraq's opposition had a ``legitimate right'' of resistance.
