To those who favor us staying in Iraq

What is the goal we should accomplish before we leave and how can we do it? Presumedly we don't want to stay forever. I honestly can't see anything we are accomplishing. We aren't creating a professional army. We aren't creating a professional police force. We aren't creating a business class. I see no way for us to create a stable Iraq to leave without us staying for a longer time than anyone wants to stay.

I have a great deal of respect for the position that we broke Iraq so we need to fix it. I just don't see anyway for us to actually fix it. We are no longer, if we ever were, being seen as an honest broker. Without us being seen as honest brokers our products, police and army, won't be trusted. It is hard to see any amount of time changing this situation.

So I guess I am asking just what is fixing Iraq?
