Pull Out From Iraq

Iraq was a major point of the previous election, and was probably a large reason why President Obama gained so much support from much of the country. His promises to pull troops out of Iraq within months was something much of the country wanted to hear, and because he said it they believed and bought it. Now Obama has moved that pullout of troops time from 16 months to 19 months from his inauguration, a decision I feel is one of the better ones he has made while in office. Now I do not feel that it is the best idea to take troops out of Iraq and leave it to waver as a new country and new government. I feel the troops need to be there until the job is done, and these three extra months may allow for Obama to continue to rethink his choice and possibly notice the importance of the troops being there.
Because this was such an important topic of the recent election it is clearly an important topic in all of party politics, which at this time in the country is being looked over by the economic crisis and the inflated stimulus bill, but the troops and the country of Iraq cannot afford to be overlooked. Members from each party need to evaluate what state Iraq is in, and whether or not they truly feel the country can be left to monitor itself, and become a country not ruled by terrorism. Each party cannot allow their party lines separate them from what the feel is right, and allow a thinning of troops in Iraq endanger the Americans serving their, not only that but protecting what those brave soldiers have already accomplished.
Now if the country is ready to rule itself, and protect itself against an insecure area, and one riddled with terrorist groups. The troops have done a magnificent job bringing Iraq to the state it has become, and hopefully one day soon all the troops can leave there and come back home safe, but until then they need to continue to serve their country like they have, and those of us fortunate enough to be safe here need to support them.
