By throwing off their throne dictators that have ruled the country. I'm not FOR Gaddafhi, but it was supposed to be an humanitarian Mission, not a Man-hunt/assaulting entire cities to find him. US might retreat from Iraq, but war in the Middle East is far from over, Barracks will just find somebody else to drop his bombs on. | ||

Cuz they knew FOR SURE that bin Laden was the Coordinator of the 9/11 or something like that ?? I am not really aware of all the factors in this "humanitarian War", but I know that US didn't have anything to do in Middle East except continue their so called War On Terror because they supposedly knew the names of the 13 or so terrorists that hijacked the planes(one of their passport miraculously was not burned during the crash and landed right in front of the crash site ! weird isn't it ?). Same thing With the UK, France, or anybody else. There never were any Weapons of Mass destruction and nothing really menacing coming from Iraq. You'll tell me: They have helped Lybia to reconstruct and have a better place to live. If they were not bombing Lybia, they would be no need to reconstruct after~ They went in a war that involves nobody but lybians, forced the hand of gaddafi and in the end, he won't even be Judged in a martial court, he was just coldly executed in the street. | ||

On February 27, 2009, at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, President Barack Obama announced a deadline for the withdrawal of combat troops from Iraq. According to the president, by August 31, 2010, after nearly seven and a half years of United States military engagement in Iraq, all but a "transitional force" of 35,000 to 50,000 troops would be withdrawn from the Middle Eastern nation. On August 19, 2010, the 4th Stryker Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division was the last US combat brigade to withdraw from Iraq. About 50,000 US troops will remain in the country in an advisory capacity. According to the US, they will help to train Iraqi forces in a new mission dubbed by the US as "Operation New Dawn," which will run until the end of 2011.[21] The mission that ended August 19, 2010 was dubbed by the US as "Operation Iraqi Freedom," at a projected cost of more than $900 billion and 4,415 US troops killed in action.[21] Over 100,000 Iraqi civilians were estimated to be killed, according to the Iraq Body Count website.[21] He did what he said he would do last time...know your facts. | ||

We did pull back all of the combat troops, the troops he is talking about now are the ones that were left behind to train the new police and army there. They're probably not going to redeploy additional troops to Afganistan to increase the number of troops we already have there on the ground. At the moment, we're winding down on the troops that were sent there for the surge and will be back at pre-surge troop levels by the end of this year. They might get rotated in to give existing troops there more leave time to come back stateside to recoop though I doubt it will happen anytime soon (not this year, and not next year since it's an election year and we already have plans and are scheduled to leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014) I doubt we're going to do anything major against Pakistan (not Iran...Pakistan is where the tension is at the moment). Though, despite recent tension between Pakistan and the US, open warfare is a remote possibility due to the complex relationship and power balance that is in play in that region at the current time. | ||

No see our nimrod of a president says the exact amount of troops we are pulling HOME. Completely letting the enemy prepare for anything they would like to do. Obama's foreign policy is laughable and i cant wait for 2012 so we can get someone with a brain as the head of our country. | ||
