The reason is that withdrawal is not within their Agenda !!!
That---- being a permanant military presents within the region AND ---the absorbing of Iran into the mix !!
And to your third poster-- I don't know where you got your "hundreds of thousands per year" figure for the Sadaam death count---but you are seriously in need of checking some facts of your own there buddy-----at the present day---and the count continues as we speak---- the invasion of this country and the ensuing war that has come from it---- there have been roughly FIVE TIMES MORE IRAQIs KILLED IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS THAN DIED WITHIN THE ENTIRE REIGN OF SADAAM HUSSEIN !!!! FIVE TIMES IN FOUR YEARS---------what kind of Freedom are we installing here ??
And, is there any wonder that the infrastructure ect is improving within that place --- after some 700 Million dollars of tax payers money --- one should be expecting that there would be SOME improvements -- don't you think ???
And, this--- they'd be fighting each other if we were there or not crap !!!!! Bush was TOLD that this very thing would be what he created there if he did an invasion ----and he chose to go forward anyway----so it is a situation of HIS making --- the chaos that has ensued !!!!!!!!

Not according to all the Kurds to whom I have spoken. However, it's better that the terrorists stay there than being exported over the rest of the world.
Since the fighting began in Iraq, terrorist attacks throughout the rest of the world, and especially in the United States, are conspicuously rare.
Although the troops are subjected to terrorist attacks in Iraq, at least they can now fight back. The attacks would have still occurred, and we would have lost a lot more men and women without any harm coing to the perpetraotrs.
Yeah, I think the current situation is much better. We have a long, long way to go before we catch up to the number of Iraqis that were butchered by Saddam, may he burn in hell.

If you had done something absolutely wicked and stupid that has caused thousands of Americans and Iraqi's to die for no reason would you admit that it was all a mistake.
You would not.
For the American Government to withdraw its forces would be to do just that.
Has rhs SEEN WMDs in Syria? Does he personally know someone that has seen them? I challenge rhs to give some evidence, after all even the CIA has admitted it was mislead about WMDs in Iraq? For me this is a clear example of clinical paranoia.
The other facts that you adumbrate are irrelevant.

The US needs to stay in Iraq to ensure that the Iraqi government survives. The US need a representative at the OPEC table to try to stop OPEC from switching the oil trade away from dollars and towards the Euro. You can read a bit more about the US war to save the dollar in my blog!

The U.S. bombing campaigns in the two wars plus the U.S. led sanctions agains Iraq have caused the deaths of nearly a million Iraqis, mostly children. Saddam was not the efficient killing machine that the U.S. is.

It is clear that you have not been paying attention. Saddam is gone, and is no longer butchering a hundred thousand people a year. The WMD are gone (not far; they're in Syria). The sectarian violence going on there has nothing to do with the US presence; it would continue if the US were to disappear tomorrow. Meanwhile, the power generation and other infrastruture is slowly improving. You need to do some research before asking preposterous questions such as this one.

Its simple logic - you abandon now and suffer its consequences later. The democratic party today could never assure any American the safety that we ask. At least and regardless of mistakes made by republicans, terrorist are converging to Iraq and thus making it easier to rid their butts from the face of this earth.
Democrat let downs - here is just a couple of examples why not to trust democratic leadership - Beirut and Somalia I'll let you start there, good luck!

He's still hoping to save some face. He refuses to listen to the opinions of others. He thinks he's a dictator rather than a democratically elected Part of a Team. There is genuine and realistic concern over abandoning the citizens of Iraq with noone qualified to protect and defend them from themselves.

Shame. You can't expect the GOP to just go pulling out of a nation. That would mean VERY bad losses in elections for the Repubs. Dems are just buying time until the 08 election. But by then, we'll probably be very out of Iraq.
