14. No we have to stay
The Geneva convention establishes want "occupying forces" are required to do and since Article 6 makes all treaties foreign and domestic the law of the land we have to abide by them. The UN charter (which we did ratify) also has something in there or at least a reference to the Geneva convention.

"Bring them home now" sounds short and sweet and to the point but we can't do that. Of course this was one of the main arguments against the war, not that anyone seems to give a rat's a** in this white house.
