SpaceWar.com<\/a> ce 9 ao\u00fbt :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abA US withdrawal from Iraq may be impossible to resist unless violence against civilians falls substantially, a study funded by the US Air Force warned Wednesday. The study by the RAND Corporation said that reducing violence against Iraqi civilians should be the primary objective of US strategy as long as US forces are in Iraq. And it said the United States was likely to continue its approach to stabilizing the country until and unless violence escalates to the point that US officials decide that withdrawal is preferable.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbBut it added that we are not optimistic about success in the near term and warned that pressure to withdraw US troops will become more and more difficult to resist if they cannot reduce the violence.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbIf the number of Iraqis who die violently does not fall substantially by the summer of 2007, domestic political pressure to withdraw US forces may become impossible to resist, the report said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbUS military officials say the surge in US forces this year has dampened the violence. But figures compiled by three Iraqi ministries and seen by AFP show that civilian deaths rose to 1,652 in July a third more than the previous month, and slightly more than in February, the first month of surge.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbOlga Oliker, the lead author of the RAND report, titled Policy Options for Iraq: a Reassessment, said the current levels of violence in Iraq suggest that the surge is not reducing violence. Look, Iraqis continue to die at a very high rates, thousands leave the country every single day, she said in a telephone interview. I would say violence remains unacceptably high.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
