Sen. Obama's Calls for Unity Are Not What They Seem
Barack Obama wants American troops out of Iraq now. About half of America believes that American troops abandoning Iraq will lead to making that country the world's center of terror and to the greatest victory thus far for the greatest organized evil in the world today. How, then, will Mr. Obama achieve unity on Iraq?

The majority of Iraqis want us out now, according to a poll done by the Lincoln Group for the US military.
The majority of Americans want us out.
The majority of the rest of the world wants us out.
A large number of the people who want us to stay think that Saddam Hussein had something to do with 9/11.
I'm not saying the majority is always right (although, of course, the majority displayed some courage in putting on the largest mass protest in the history of the world against starting this war in the first place), I'm saying that it is a sort of unity to do what the majority wants.
In addition, if you think that Iraq will come to be run by AQI, you are bonkers. For the last 500 years, Iran and Saudi Arabia have struggled for influence over Iraq. For the last few decades, KSA has been ahead. That's not _the_ reality there, but it is the most fruitful way to look at the regional situation.
