I have to say, this article seems like a bit of a broadside. It sways all over the topic it proposes to talk about (Obama's position on staying in Iraq) and then misrepresents him. The article's headline is "Obama: Don't stay in Iraq over Genocide." The substance of what Obama is saying, though, seems to be that the current strategy is not a long-term solution, and that civil problems cannot be solved simply by filling a country with troops.
Since when, by the way, was "preventing a genocide" the main reason for us to stay in Iraq?
