Pulling the troops: Apocalypse Re-visited

What do you think the chances of US troops being pulled from the middle east REALLY are? Do you honestly think that the US is going to forgo their interests in this region? What will happen to "Iraq"? I have an idea..."Iran".

Iran is an ally of China (Russia, too, correct me if I'm wrong). I can not imagine this scenario under any circumstances.

If ever there was a more dangerous time in this world, I do not know of it. With George Bush's legacy almost written, I would not be surprised to see the region erupt in nuclear conflict. The US will not, can not, give up it's interests there.

What do you think?

I agree I agree I agree !!! with what you wrote

I came back from there February 15th. I was just another soldier over there no one special but in my opinion we will be there for a while. I am not a republican nor a democrat but when Obama makes the statement he is pulling out the troops when he gets into office I believe this to be a fallacy. I feel If we pull even do a 20% pull out today there would be a negative impact. Read what General Petreaus has to say about the situation he is VERY intelligent and he knows first hand the situation. Did George create this I give him 50% of the blame. Saddam Hussein knew the U.S. thought he had weapons of mass destruction and played on that. Some of his top military officials warned him to be careful that the U.S. could come in on him. He ignored his military advisor's and we know what happened. If we ignore out military advisor's we could get ourselves into trouble also. In my opinion these politicians are playing on this war for popularity. I do not feel the military wants to go to war with Iran. I do feel Iran wants to see how far they can push us.
