Dems play catchup

Democrats Say Leaving Iraq May Take Years Even as they call for an end to the war and pledge to bring the troops home, the Democratic presidential candidates are setting out positions that could leave the United States engaged in Iraq for years.John Edwards, the former North Carolina senator, would keep troops in the region to intervene in an Iraqi genocide and be prepared for military action if violence spills into other countries. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York would leave residual forces to fight terrorism and to stabilize the Kurdish region in the north. And Senator Barack Obama of Illinois would leave a military presence of as-yet unspecified size in Iraq to provide security for American personnel, fight terrorism and train Iraqis. New York Times

So leave a token force that has no real influence over the things that happen in the area. Then, when that force is eventually attacked and overwhelmed because it is inadequate, bail for real. Dems want to soften the blow of abandonment. They want to be kicked out of Iraq by a bunch of armed ex-farmer thugs and yet make it look like they had planned it all along. They want it all to just go away without actually accomplishing anything in the process.

Cowards. The lot.
