I really like how the White House has "dismissed suggestions that two recent bloody attacks in Iraq were a reaction to President Barack Obama's decision to pull out most combat troops by August next year."
Of course the President is going to come out and say that it is not because of the decision he has made that the people of Iraq are in more danger not to mention the troops that are still there. Now there is not really evidence saying that these attacks are directly correlated with the statement that troops will be pulling out of Iraq, but I sure do hope this is a wake up call. I hope it shows the people what they are actually facing with a pull out of troops from Iraq.
Not to mention there has been an increased level of violence in Afghanistan, showing that these countries are not stable for a even a change of command, let alone allowing a large number of troops to leave the area. The two countries are not in a stable condition, and giving up on them now would be disastrous.
The country is now in need for some bi-partisan legislation. The parties need to realize that the best thing for the country is to keep the world safe and in doing that keeping the country safe. In what seems to be a more an increasingly more violent world it is time for the parties to bond together and think in terms of the safety of the people they represent. With North Korea preparing to launch what could be a test missile, and at the same time threatening war to whoever threatens it, the world is getting more unsafe. With that we have a very new President who does not have much experience and is leading the country into some very uncertain times. We as a people need our elected officials to unite as one and help to protect this country rather than divide it down the middle over politics less important than our lives.
