Should our 2016 nominee feel obligated to promise a U.S. troop pullout from Iraq?

(If we still have troops there by then, of course)

Corollary questions:

Do you think we can win with a candidate who won't pledge to do that?

I believe we should only go to war as self defense, and perhaps to the defense of other countries in some situations. Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam...at what point do we figure this shit out?

with a candidate who will pledge to get us out of Iraq. The neo-con Bush blunders are nothing to double down on. The Iraq war is a big loser for any candidate who wants to take up the cause.
