If the troops leave, 100,000 civilian contractors have to leave too. Dick Cheney is NOT going to let that happen to his own people. Once the oil is flowing at max rate and everything is dandy, then....no wait....we're NEVER LEAVING!!
Of course we are not leaving. The montrosity of an embassy is proof of that. Clinton and Obama have both said that as president the US will maintain forces.
btw: our purpose there is not to get oil flowing, it is to stop oil flowing so that Saudi Arabia continues control of supply and price.
Clearly they didn;t mean leave...

check this link...... this why the Dems are FOR an open-ended Occupation.
Analysis of the funding bill, and not a single bullet or armored vehicle funded by this bill will be delivered before 08'!!
A minimum of 12-18 mos, for the FIRST delivery.
So ,literally, all those Dems who said the had to vote for the bill to "support the troops"??
Just falling for another neo-con "red herring".
