Right. Well, either way, even if a GOP is President in the fall, we will begin withdrawing because that is part of EVERY candidate's plan. So eventually Iraq will be on its own even if we maintain a presence there.
Thanks to Bush lying (for which he should be impeached and thrown in jail for the remainder of his days) for the past seven years - and getting us into an illegal war...a country that was secularly run by a dictator and that posed NO threat anymore to international security - and harbored NO terrorists or any connections to terrorists (facts admitted by the warmongers who started the war, by the way, before you try to cite obscure connections that even the most hardened neo-cons have disavowed))...that country will be open to civil war and hence al-Qaeda.
So, if Bush had just continued to keep us in Afghanistan - where we should have been to hunt down that murderous SOB until we got the job done...and which,
by the way, SteveForever, is the domain of the CIA and NOT the FBI...
...there would have been no war in Iraq and hence no inevitable (again, regardless of which candidate wins the election) haven for the terrorists. So your postulation makes no sense at all.
