In the blog When is this all going to be over?...., the author states "What steps are we taking to safely remove troops from U.S. military bases in foreign countries," inferring that the decision to remove troops from the Middle East should be occurring now. Everybody is in favor of removing the troops and sending them all home to American soil, but the circumstances and consequences will not allow that to be a feasible option at this point in time. Congress issued the Bush Administration the Authorization for Use of Military Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 which allowed the Bush Administration to send the Military to occupy Iraq and search for "Weapons of Mass Destruction" from supposedly known intelligence. As well as, at the same time to investigate Al Qaeda due to the 9/11 attack. The Bush Administration then ordered the Military to destroy and then rebuild the Iraqi government as a Democracy. The fall of the Iraqi government came with the fall of Saddam Husseim, it is the rebuilding that is delicate and requires time. If the Military were to pull out of the Middle East this very moment, the chaos of not having a government now would breed the opportunity for more terroristic behavior/actions. Removing the troops now would exacerbate what the Military had originally planned, end terrorism by ending Al Qaeda.
