Seriously speaking why isn't america pulling out its troops from Iraq? The anwser is because it is still messed up. Seriously america is not going to win the Iraq war and then the terriorist will have two places to hide, Iraq and pakistein. Well, assuming the sunni's win.

If we withdraw now, the fanatics there will see it as a victory against the West, and they will become even stronger. This will make them believe that suicide bombing and insurgency are great things in the fight against the West. That cannot happen. It will only reinforce their insane behavior. They will see us as weak and defeatable. It will enpower them.

We we took on fanatical Islam, we started a long war. We have to follow it through, or they will continue.
