I understand what is being done short-term, but I am interested in knowing what the long-term goal is.
I think we are headed in the direction of removing our troops from Iraq, I just don't know what that means. And the problem is, I think it means different things to different people. I think we need clarity on this issue. Under the Bush plan our military comitment to Iraq was going to be virtually open-ended. Given the strategic location of Iraq, having a long-term military presence would be to our advantage as well as having a democratic Iraqi government supportive of our needs. If that is no longer our goal, what is?
