The real test for candidates on Iraq War
The Democratic talking points so far include admitting that we were lied into war and calling for an exit (or "success") strategy. This gives them a hell of a lot of wiggle room though.

Here's the real test:

Will they renounce claims to Iraq's oil and allow Iraqis to decide whether to let Americans or the French and Russian companies who had contracts before the war pump their oil?

Will they renounce plans to build permanent bases in Iraq?

Will they renounce any future wars to control the oil or other natural resources of other countries?
