If that was the only money that the U.S. spent on Iraq from now on, that'd be great.
Declare victory and leave. They should've done that three-and-a-half years ago. (Well, they did -- they just forgot to leave.)
But yeah, I say go for it. Declare victory and leave.
The helicopters from the roof of the embassy can come later.
