So the "withdrawal debate" is really semantic smoke and mirrors. No, I don't think so. It's an attempt to pull back to the status quo before the Iraq invasion with some bases left in Iraq. As you know, we have bases all over the ME. Read Chalmers Johnson's latest book, Nemesis, on this one. He has chapter and verse. In my view, it would take a much larger change in US foreign policy than an Iraq withdrawal for us to give up positioning bases in the ME and Iraq.
