It's maybe cause we're going to at least keep some bases in Kurdistan lest the Kurds get massacred (again) when we leave Iraq. Look, I hate the Iraq war as much as anyone. But we need to recognize some stuff: It would be terrible to let the Turks, or Iranians, or Iraqi Shiites to go ahead and kill a largely innocent ethnic minority. There's some stuff we own, and just can't abandon. And we will need to use our military in Middle East again, and it probably won't be too long. All of us wishing for peace won't change that. Might as well keep some people based where they are wanted.
