Democrats would sustain US involvement in Iraq
Contrary to the impression that the Democrats would like to give, they do not favor a total withdrawal from Iraq. Note the following, from the SFGate Politics Blog:
The Democrats, in other words, would continue US military involvement in the region, and perpetuate the policy of Empire.
Democrats are not aiming for a total withdrawal. Biden said 10,000 U.S. troops will be needed merely to maintain the "Green Zone" in Baghdad, and thousands more are contemplated for remaining operations to train the Iraq military, prevent jihadis from controlling territory, and keeping neighboring states at bay.I particularly like the bit about "keeping neighboring states at bay." Which neighboring states would those be? They wouldn't include Iran, by any chance, would they?

The war will end when people take to the streets.
Recently some positive developments occured in the antiwar movement. The two major groups against the war, agreed to common slogans and an Iraq war focus.

100,000 minimum would be needed to staff the 14 permanent bases in Iraq. Does that sound like "withdrawl?"
