Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton foresees a "remaining military as well as political mission" in Iraq, and says that if elected president, she would keep a reduced but significant military force there to fight Al Qaeda, deter Iranian aggression, protect the Kurds and possibly support the Iraqi military.
In a half-hour interview on Tuesday in her Senate office, Mrs. Clinton said the scaled-down American military force that she would maintain in Iraq after taking office would stay off the streets in Baghdad and would no longer try to protect Iraqis from sectarian violence — even if it descended into ethnic cleansing.

Sorry Hillary, I could understand you wanting to stay in Iraq because you feel we have an imperative to prevent terrorists from sparking a civil war that would kill millions of innocents.
But, the idea that we should do like the British are doing and stay in Iraq without actually doing anything, just protecting the oil fields in the south is bullshit.
If you don't give a shit about trying to prevent millions of Iraqi deaths and its clear you don't the idea we have other more important reasons to be there is crap. Keeping a base in Iraq and doing nothing while millions of innocents are dying around our troops is immoral.
