Who was it that pulled the USA completely out of Iraq? It was not Bush, his foibles and outright blunders notwithstanding. Bush, for the weakness that he showed, at least did not present the simpering, submissive face that Obama wears towards that part of the world.
I don't care who the president is, we don't need any troops ANYWHERE, unless we're going in to kick some ass, militarily defeat an enemy, and then get the hell out.
We shouldn't have combat troops stationed anywhere on this planet unless they have a specific military mission, or be situated on a friendly ally base.
The locals need to be responsible for their own patrols and control of their territory!
