This is really the crux of the situation in Iraq, it seems to me:
"Anthony Cordesman sums up: 'The odds of lasting US success in Iraq are now at best even, and may well be worse.
'US success is heavily dependent on two variables which the US can influence but not control. The first is the emergence of a government that Iraqis see as legitimate and which can effectively govern. The second is the ability to create Iraqi military and security forces that can largely replace US and other coalition forces no later than 2006'."
