If it makes France shut up, I'm all for it. This doesn't really sound like we've given up anything. And, of course, we reserve the right to protect our national security interests at any time anyway, so we can always have a return engagement. :)
It makes many nations "shut up." Mostly Arab ones. (I hope) There will be no more of the "occupation" forces that the insurgents are fighting against, only guests in Iraq at the behest of the new government.
LoL's!
Don't acquire a mindset that you are alone with your feelings however!
As long as, if we're asked to leave, we go via Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Iran, stopping to clean up the messes there on our way.
