The elections underway in Iraq will not solve the political problem of the insurgency, since that has its origins in the American invasion and there subsequent behavior in Iraq. It is possible that they may help to create the conditions for civil war.

Therefore, if this statements pove to be the case, nor will the elections create the conditions for a complete American withdrawal, without bases or any other appendages of imperialism.
