Furthermore, if our troops are to remain in Iraq for Middle East security reasons, should the United States also be paid by Iraq for the cost of such future presence in oil and also be given a right of first refusal at market rates on all future Iraqi oil production? As part of that process should Iraq and its oil production be partitioned among the Sunni, Shia, and Kurds with the Shia to govern themselves and Saudi Arabia as protector of the Sunni and the United States as protector of the Kurds with our troops based in the Kurd sector ready to respond where needed in the Middle East as well as to protect this partition? The deadline for this partition should be no more than 18 months and then US troop levels could probably be cut substantially under this scenario.
