Can Obama Begin Withdrawing U.S. Troops From Iraq Without Reversing Progress?

Troops home..
I am all for bringing our troops home. But what about the civilian contractors who support our troops over there. They just pulled troops out of northern Iraq leaving numerous civilian contractors unprotected to try to break down their supplies.. Ya you guessed it they got attacked.. Why dont we try to get the civilian contractors who dont have guns and who cook, supply food, water and electric to our soldiers get them out or at least help them get out instead of leaving them there to defend themselves..I have a husband and an uncle over there, plus i am a Vet.... they should keep soldiers there to break down the equipment and get stuff out of there TOGETHER, since that is how they work... Now my Uncle has been attacked and shipped back to the US, no perminant residence here in the states, no job, and the fear he must have now... Currently i am waiting to see when my husband comes home, hoping that we dont loose everything and hoping he can find a job, i cant seem to find a good one, so i know it will be hard. I hope he makes it safely home.. He does not know if he will be leaving and or when becuase they can not leave all that stuff over there and they need the experienced ones to help with the breakdown... I pray that he is safe and dont sleep at night and wait daily for a call or an email to say he is still alive.. He was in a safe zone, never had any problems there for 3 years now, and now there is no one there to help them... THANKS MR PRESIDENT.
Irac war
My son is in Irac 3rd. Brigade 2nd.ID He left from Fort Lewis,Wa July 25,2009 Is there any chance he will not be spending a year term in Irac? He will be coming home sooner?
Here we go again
Sure! We can pull out of Iraq. But, as we pull out of Iraq, the country will become even less stable. The country will become a place of anarchy. Groups like the Taliban will cease the opportunity to accomplish their goal of destroying the U.S. I guess we will never learn. Way to go Obama!
Withdrawal of military troops from iraqi grounds might have been more accelerated than scheduled
U.S President Obama's plan to withdraw a large contigent of military troops from İraq is a right step to establish a sustainable peace in middle-east.
İ do entirely agree with President Obama's intentions to bring peace to middle-east, but the step-by-step-process of withdrawing of defined numbers of military troops from iraqi ground could have been more accelerated than scheduled on a 16-month timetable. The more quickly you withdraw troops the more budget you make available and the less you have to deal with possible budget cuts in the future. As a one result of acting quicklier, the U.S government would bring peace worldwide to other nations. Achieving temporarily sustainable peace in the middle-east is the key for the United States to continue being the leader worldwide and to gain more respect from other nations.
