Democrats have been ignoring the multi-national presence in Iraq for years.
One Western Leader and ally said this about the democratic presidential candidate in 2004:
“I find it kind of sad that a senator with 20 years parliamentary experience is unable to notice the Polish presence in the anti-terror coalition.”
So is it really surprising that the democratic party is ignoring American allies in Iraq today?
How exactly will democrats tell 40 US allies that Iraq was a mistake and that the US is pulling out and going home or to Okinawa?

How will democrats direct US soldiers and marines into the next battle when they are not willing to finish the job or accept the sacrifice?
How will the democrats tell US allies that their sacrifice was a mistake?
How will democrats tell a country like Romania who announces this week that “We will not abandon Iraq” that America will?
Which country will the democrats call first?
