For all of the talk about the Baker Iraq Study Group...nothing will come of it.
And this notion that there will be a US "presence" in Iraq for "years to come" is just nonsense...
It's highly unlikely that ANY US forces will be in Iraq by the end of 2007...
And worse yet, Iraq will most likely be a defacto colony of Iran soon...with the Sunni population exiled to Syria, Jordan or Saudi Arabian... It's happening already...see link.
Meanwhile the Kurds will declare indepenance from the Chaos that Bush & the Neocons have caused...
Make no mistake this is the END GAME for the US in Iraq...
And it is not likely that any alternative will be available except to negotiate with Iran about ANYTHING Iran wants to talk about...including the presence of Israel on Palestinian Land...
As was predicted here many years ago...Bush has become the worst enemy of Israel imaginable...
