Nevada's "First In The West" Democratic Presidential Caucus

"I served 6 months in Iraq. In less than an hour at my neighborhood caucus, I can help end this war and bring my fellow Marines and other military forces home safely...I'm attending the Democratic Presidential caucus on January 19th to help elect a new commander-in-chief who will end the war in Iraq. I hope you'll join me."

I just received this flier from my local party. Isn't this a little misleading? Last I recall, 'ending' the war means different things to each of the candidates.

1. Not really. There's not a whole lot of difference in the candidates' positions on Iraq.

All of them don't want permanent bases. All of them will leave troops behind to protect the American embassy and perform missions in the Middle East as needed. It's really just a question of degrees.

2. Perhaps

But it feels disingenuous

All Things Considered, November 22, 2007 � All the Democratic presidential candidates say they want to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq. But they differ on how fast this should be done and whether any forces should remain to train Iraqis and go after al-Qaida.
