Whether you like the war in Iraq or not, the USA has no choice, it cannot withdraw from Iraq. When the presidential candidates are saying they will withdraw US troops from Iraq, it is called electioneering politics. They know, as well as anyone else, the numerous reasons why we cannot withdraw from Iraq with any real conscience. The media will babble on with whatever they want to say, because it will increase their ratings but it is always up to the individual to look at the facts before advocating a US withdrawal from Iraq.

The number one reason for not withdrawing from Iraq is the consequence of such action. Meaning, the overall safety and stability of middle east will simply evaporate. Iran will make a land grabbing bid in Iraq and the Sunnis and Shia elements will wipe each other out while in the process of hunting down the Kurds and the Christian community. Oil prices will sky rocket as iraqi oil will come to a grinding halt, hezbollah and/or Al Queda will have a safe haven once again within Iraq (or what will be left of Iraq). If such a action occurs, and Iran does get involved, we may see a Syrian involvement as well which will drag the already pissed off Saudi Arabia and their Sunni brothers to arms (or war) with Iran and their Shia (and terror) networks. The bloodshed and killing will be out of control and the bloodbath will have no stop any time soon. And if Israel's security does feel compromised, we might as well see a Israeli involvement in the fray, which will result in major international crisis. Basically, the entire world will be flipped upside down as Chaos reigns, oil production low (or none), regional security breakdown and widespread ethnic, religious and racial cleansing occurs. And this entire chain reaction will be the result of a US withdrawal from Iraq.

Another reason to not withdraw from Iraq is the MEK. For 17 years before the US invasion of Iraq, the exiled democratic government of Iran (or what is left of it) has been active in Iraq. Saddam gave them a safe haven in Iraq since these freedom fighters want to topple the oppressive theocracy in Iran. And now, People's Mujahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), also known as Mujahedin-e Khalq or "MEK" depend on the assistance from the United States of America to protect them aganist the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Quds Force. Clinton Administration had the state department list these freedom fighters as "terrorists" in order to placate Iran but to no avail. Today,
