We’re staying

Come now. Was there ever any doubt?
The United States on Tuesday rejected a demand from Iraq for a specific date for pullout of US-led foreign troops from the country, saying any withdrawal will be based on conditions on the ground. “The US government and the government of Iraq are in agreement that we, the US government, we want to withdraw, we will withdraw. However, that decision will be conditions-based,” State Department spokesman Gonzalo Gallegos said.
In other words - all your Iraqi sovereignty belong to us.

Nope. I think under an Obama presidency, we still stay - possibly with fewer troops.
This was in the cards all along - as the print edition will point out this week, getting into Iraq and staying in Iraq was the entire point of the invasion in the first place.

Um ... except that is now OBAMA'S position too! Whatever happened to the "out of Iraq in six weeks" campaign promise??? Suddenly he has taken HILLARY'S position -- i.e. sanity. Yeah. But we can't have a WOMAN as president, by God! |

For the last year and a half, Obama has consistently proposed a 16-month timeline for a staged withdrawal of forces from Iraq. McCain is against any timeline.
