Both obama and hillary want to slowly withdraw from iraq, they are not just going to pull-out immediately.
But when we do withdraw, we can probably count on thousands of previously pro-american iraqis being systematically slaughtered, especially if civil conflict engulfs the country. As people watch their fathers, sons, daughters, mothers get killed, you can sit there arguing your armchair politics why foreigners hate americans and why terrorism exists.
I was anti-war from day 1, but I'm not entirely convinced that premature withdrawal is the best answer... Bush, like him or not, got enough votes to make him the president. People should be somewhat responsible for the actions of the candidates they choose to elect. We had the chance to pull him out, and what happened? Americans granted him a second term without controversy.
