Don’t trust war’s backers on Iraq withdrawal

We know that in the next several months we are going to be constantly hearing the debate about whether, when and what happens when we get our troops out of Iraq. The fact is, we can’t really predict what will happen.

If it’s true that our presence is a major cause of the violence in the country, then our withdrawal should significantly decrease the violence. If American tax dollars are funding massive greed and corruption, then removing our tax dollars should reduce the amount of corruption.

The Bush administration and those who are supporting the war are the same ones who told us we would be welcomed with open arms and flowers and the war would be over in a matter of weeks.

Why should we believe anyone who was so wrong about what would happen when we invaded Iraq about what will happen when we leave Iraq?
