Joel, do you have any idea what your talking about? Because he pulls back troops, he is making it into a police state? That just doesn't make any sense... The reason why America is so prominently there in the Middle-east, is to have influence over the region, especially for the oil rich countries like Kuwait. They are just protecting the big companies over there like Exxon Mobil. And do you have ANY IDEA how expensive an army is in foreign land? Think about the massive amounts of supplies which needs to be send across the world. The money spend on the so called 'war on terror' has cost the US a stunning 1.3 trillion dollars. America could have rebuilt their entire infrastructure, boost the educational level and spent some money on research for a replacement of oil and other fossil fuels.
