He said we must have a residual force in place to protect US Interests, including "American civilians in Iraq" (read: oil companies and their mercenary forces.)
Complete reversal from what Kerry said in 2004.
Also note Kerry and Dean and especially Wes Clark (another former NATO commander and a sharp contrast to Jones) -- the entire spectrum of the anti-war movement -- have been completely frozen out of Democratic party leadership.
This is an internal coup by the Democratic Party machine to restore the Washington Consensus.
