Easy way to speed Iraq withdrawal
Congressional Democrats need to loudly say that apart from any timetable for withdrawal, the United States will renounce two things and only renegotiate them after our troops are out of Iraq:

1. oil concessions


2. permanent military bases

If this was central to the debate, the ANTI-democratic motives of the GOP would be obvious. They are there to steal and use Iraq as a base to steal more (countries).

Any Democrat who does NOT address these issues is tacitly approving of keeping those and therefore will draq their feet on any withdrawal until they are certain we have an irrevocable hold on those two things.

The DLC crowd would like to be the new corporate whore after the GOP dies of its own syphillitic corruption, and the reticence of many Democrats is not cowardice but trying to figure out how to garner public support without alienating future corporate patrons.

We must demand that along with any pull out we give these up, and if we don't the hatred of us in the Middle East will last that much longer.
