"The real reason for the establishment of military bases in Iraq is to watch over our interests there."
"We need more troops, more helicopters, better intelligence-gathering and more nonmilitary assistance to accomplish the mission there," Obama said. He went on to speak against any desire to hold permanent military bases in Iraq, but followed by saying that he would leave in place a residual force of undetermined size behind to "perform limited missions" like going after remnants of al-Qaida and training Iraqi forces.
Despite claims of wanting to withdraw troops and not keep a presence, he immediately contradicts himself with the above statement.

We already know McCain envisions staying in Iraq for at least 100 years; it seems Mr. Obama wouldn't mind either. So then what part of his plan is representative of a change? Or better yet, what real difference is there between his plan and John McCain's plan? The truth is, there is no difference, and there is no real choice.
