2. Yup, Hillary isn't going to pull the troops out during her first term for certain,
After all, she's going to have to prove that she's tough as a man when it comes to military matters. Besides, her corporate backers, the same as the 'Pugs corporate backers, want this war to continue for as long as possible.

What I'm going to find interesting around here is if Hillary wins, and stays in Iraq, how many people who are anti-war now will change to pro-war just to stand behind Hillary.

It is for this, among many other reasons, that I'm standing for Kucinich. The man wants to do what the people want done, bring the troops home. And unlike Hillary, he has been on the right side of the issue on the war since the very beginning. He has voted against the IWR(yay! He was smarter than Bush!) and has voted against every single funding bill since. Unlike some candidates out there.

Yep, if Hillary gets in, we're staying in Iraq, despite what she says. Notice how she parses her words when it comes to talking about Iraq. She's doing what she can to appease the majority of Americans who want the troops home, yet still leaving an avenue open where she can keep them in Iraq. The double speak is nauseating.
