We are very close to the end:
The US embassy in Baghdad circulated a memo to all Americans working for the US government in the Green Zone. It ordered them to wear protective gear whenever they were outside in the Green Zone, including just moving from one building to another. Guerrillas have managed to lob a number of rockets into the area in recent days, and killed one US GI on Tuesday.What the fuck are they going to do? Move the green zone to Kurdistan? They cannot move it out of Baghdad (would be admitting defeat,) but they also cannot defend it (no way to clear a large enough security corridor around it to stop rockets because hundreds of thousands of people live in the immediate area.) So I guess they will just sit there until a rocket gets lucky and hits something important. Then we'll pull out like in Beirut after the Marine barracks bombings.
What other scenarios are there?
