As British leave, Basra deteriorates
Violence rises in Shiite city once called a success story
As British forces pull back from Basra in southern Iraq, Shiite militias there have escalated a violent battle against each other for political supremacy and control over oil resources.

One wonders if all of Iraq will fall into further turmoil if Bush withdraws his troops and the answer is a resounding.... YES!
There is no "win" and there is
There is only shame and we let it happen by brushing off the genocide we allowed Bush to commit by not getting rid of these maniac(s) we elected.
THIS is the Bush Legacy that the United States will have to live with for decades to come.
The complete collapse of Iraq started when George W. Bush ordered American troops into Iraq to make a name for himself, destroyed their infrastructure, their homes, disbanded their army and police forces and killed everybody and everything that "looked like" an "insurgent."
Tragically, 10s of thousands of Iraqi civilians have been killed and THIS is what George Bush has created and THIS is exactly how terrorists are created and continue to multiply by the thousands.
These "insurgents" have no airplanes, guided missiles, smart bombs or laser-guided weaponry. They have only hand weapons, IEDs, suicide bombers and thousands of people willing to die for their cause as long as we occupy their country.
PS. As recently as February, Vice President Cheney hailed Basra as a part of Iraq "where things are going pretty well."
