the UN involved is to announce our intension to leave fully and completely, that means the bases as well, something I haven't heard any Dem leaders saying.
It would also mean abandoning out efforts to get the Iraqi government to sign joint oil production agreements with the multinational oil companies. unfortunately, that is official Democratic policy as per the bench marks we put in the last supplemental.
So until the US renounces our intentions to control the oil and be provided with bases we won't get the UN going along.
I'm not sure those two measuers are negotiable with the Dem leadership and certainly not with the Repos.
