of things fixed in the Obama regime is the absolute hostility to expand the power of the U.S., which may represent what can be called the apparent weakness of the U.S. economic position and the sterile nature of the regime's foreign policy that terrorized America's friends and allies
While made enemies laugh. Yet all of this is not up to the level of criminal proceedings neglected in Iraq.
after sustaining momentum in 2006 founded David Petraeus, a coalition of Shiite power centers and the Sunni Arabs, who were see in the future in a strong, unified Iraq. Al Qaeda has been damaged a lot and became incapable due the Anbar uprising, as Sadrist movement was marginalized. In short it has Barack Obama delivered victory was not lacking, but the announcement. If Obama had begun to declare victory had a problem. Firstly, it was not to make childish remarks before he was elected president of the country. This man does not humble himself and certainly was not to create a stand proves a mistake and George W. Bush's health. Secondly, I have promised to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq during the election, and it became clear that the timing of this withdrawal will be a great honor. Third, if he'd been in negotiations with the Iraqi government to chose to be obsessed with himself like Brett Macgork. This failure was certainly achieved the Obama administration's unwillingness to keep enough troops in Iraq, and his inability to make a deal, and unreasonable demands, and the insurgency in Iraq or of all society. From the standpoint of national security, the only thing important is that the United States had failed - by failing to ensure that a new agreement - to ensure that the gains obtained by the difficulty, and more importantly, they have failed to ensure their interests.
importantly of all, is to acknowledge invaluable that failure. Iraq has become a point of weakness grand strategy for the United States, and an outlet for Iranian goods to circumvent the sanctions, but has become a starting point for terrorist groups backed by Iran. It's a crucial line of communication between Tehran and its agent in Damascus, which was a solid day. Iraq back again to become a safe haven for the fiercest-Qaeda members in the world and who are planning now to carry out terrorist operations in Syria had not previously able to do, and that Iraq is exposed once again in danger of degenerating into a failed state.
there are no easy solutions to these problems. We can not go back in time in order to overcome the mistakes committed by the current U.S. president or his predecessors, and we can not restore the situation to what it was on the twentieth of January 2009 or the fifteenth of December 2011 and start from there, and will not re-deployment of military forces U.S. in Iraq. Must recognize the position as it is and develop a new strategy to achieve U.S. goals despite all the vital challenges. Necessary for the United States to prevent al-Qaeda in Iraq to establish a strong base implements and supports terrorist activities in the region. It is also important to prevent Iran from using Iraq as a point from which the militias to attack American interests and the interests of its allies in the region. It impossible to develop a strategy to contain Iran if Iraq was committed to a policy of supporting Tehran. Maliki's Iraq today is fueling sectarianism within its own borders and beyond. There are not clear how to develop a new strategy in order to face these challenges, but any attempt must begin by acknowledging the realities in Iraq and in the region as they are and not as we wish it to be. As a result, we abandon Iraq, and we do not have the influence in foreign affairs and interior. The rebel base, and Iran is gaining influence, and civil war is looming after Sunnis and Kurds saw that guarantees their security have gone unheeded. Obama has emphasized that the sacrifices of U.S. troops were in vain.
