Iraq and the Presidential Contenders

The presidential contenders seem to be laboring under the false pretense that ANY strategy that doesn't involve the immediate withdrawal of troupes from Iraq and some accounting for the troupes remaining in Afghanistan will be acceptable to the majority of Americans. For that matter they all want to redirect their statements to incorporate the possibility that we can't pull out of the Arab Peninsula or that we will have to retain some troupe presence.

If Iraq cannot stand on it's own with the amount of governmental infrastructure in place, that is their fault. We should not have to support a nation that is supposed to be receiving billions in aid, and ps, where is the oil money that is supposed to be flowing from that country? If the people are suffering from lack of electricity and lack of flowing water, where is the money going to? I think that it is about time that there is financial accountability for ever dollar being sent, and to bring the troupes home in honor and dignity.
