WITHDRAWAL SYNDROME: The Obama Administration made headlines recently with a declaration that all US Forces in Iraq will be home in time for the holidays. Sure, it makes for a good sound bite, but is it sound foreign policy?

Instead of providing a buffer for Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE and Saudi Arabia, a Shia-dominated, pro-Iranian government in Iraq becomes a threat to them.” http://bit.ly/vH0uVg
