I mentioned it as a possibility. And pf course I'm willing to criticize the cost, both in terms of human lives, the environment and pure economics. However, there is a such thing as prioritizing things within a budget, and reparations could porribly be a priority. Of course, so could be adhering to the wishes of Iraqis.
We're losing the war anyway (though I wonder what average people ever could have won from it), and it has nothing whatsoever to do with Americans "cutting and running":

BAGHDAD — A company of Iraqi soldiers abandoned their positions on Tuesday night in Sadr City, defying American soldiers who implored them to hold the line against Shiite militias.
The retreat left a crucial stretch of road on the front lines undefended for hours and led to a tense series of exchanges between American soldiers and about 50 Iraqi troops who were fleeing.
