What is the plan for the Iraq War from the Republicans?
While Democrats have been criticized for having no plan for success in Iraq except "cut and run" (despite an actual plan from Murtha available for months), I seem to have missed what the Republican plan is, other than "Stay the Course" or "Adapt to Win" (which aren't plans, only slogans).
I'm primarily interested in an official Republican position, if it exists. If not, an unofficial one will do and surely must exist somewhere.
(I asked this question a short while back in "Military" and received no actual answers; trying again in a different category).

I'm pretty sure they don't have any. I'm I only one who finds it strange that no general has been held accountable for the fiasco in Iraq? Seriously, every other we've been serious about, war generals were gone through like toilet paper. In the Iraq war, nothing is really being question about our strategy and no one is held accountable, even when billions go missing from government funds and no improvement appears to be happening in Iraq.
If there actually is a plan for fighting the war in Iraq, it will based on some of the same faulty assumptions that made Iraq such a mess in the first place, otherwise we would see some actual accountability. All I can see though is the public campaign to try to give the public image that things are going well when they are not. Maybe there plan is to find a way to blame all of this on the democrats...

Stay until civil war breaks out. Build bases in the Kurdish region. Allow the Sunnis and Shiites to fight it out, draining resources from Iran and Syria. Hope that Turkish Kurds don't demand independence so they can join the new Kurdistan. Try not to get into a war with Turkey. Reap oil profits from all this instability.

Stay there until everyone's dead and there's no money left.
Republican "plan" in a nutshell.
