Ha, Hilary will not pull out of Iraq.

The only electable person I can see doing it is Obama but that is still not convincing. Edwards maybe but I'm not counting on it.

I don't find the genocide argument very convincing. Right now the violence in Iraq is getting worse and basically it is a long deadly civil war that may turn into genocide anyways versus a short deadly genocide (assuming the Shiites take over the Sunnis). I don't think the final outcome will be much different either. Neither side sounds real inviting.
