without enemy noticing the withdrawal is in progress? I mean, withdrawing US troops from iraq is going to surge the pressure against remaining fielded forces. What is the highest achievable speed of such a withdrawal? May it follow the speed of invasion? I guess no, cause the units are stretched over a wide area..
How would you protect your forces duringr such a withdrawal? do you think Iraqi home armed forces will stand the surge of attacks to protect US troops withdrawal?

as far as I remember, the invasion of Iraq was done amphibious against Basrah or somewhere there. It is obvious someone has to stay there to the end to cover others' as*holes and departing aircraft. the problem is there are no known enemy strongholds, but disguised enemy in civil clothes. you'd have to bomb the whole perimeter..

If you want to avoid a complete disaster, then the only way to achieve an orderly withdrawal is to leave a covering force. A good example is Vietnam- the covering force there was the South Vietnam Army (RVN) which was well equipped and well led. In fact the war was won at that time.
In fact the RVN army was good enough to fight off a NVA invasion a year later- and that means NVA tanks and aircraft.
I suspect that if US withdrawal happens, then that history will be repeated too- Dem controlled Congress will cut off all aid to Iraqui government forces and de-facto support the so-called "insurgents" until they win and can massacre all opposition at liesure.
I guess they can then claim another Nobel prize.

Phased withdraw covered by massive air strikes on all enemy and suspected enemy strongholds. That would be the safest way for our men. It would keep the enemy's head down and hurt his capacity to make war.
Semper Fi!!!

The same way they came in. One unit at a time out through the airport in Baghdad. Then the last would be the Marines.

Bomb Cambodia to outflank the Viet-Cong, then thrown the civilian population of Saigon into the path of the advancing enemy troops, to be slaughtered for "collaboration."
Yeah, that won't hurt our image abroad!
