As Iran's Mullahs celebrate "mission accomplished". Not saying we have any business there anymore anyway, but pulling them out now is reminiscent of the Afghanistan debacle where we cut & ran.

That's exactly what we're doing.

Glad they are coming home (I assume home and not to some other place we shouldn't be). I agree it most likely will cause a vacuum that will suck up more nastiness than we imagine.
I have a different mindset on the "walk away" mentality, but that's because I have an odd mind to start with, lol. To me it's like an older brother sick and tired of keeping the little brothers from killing one another....just walk away and let them kill each other. I know...it doesn't work that way in international politics or with this "administration". But that's what I think we need to do....if it can be done. Bring them all home and tell the world to take care of itself. The people and money are staying home.

Just an opinion...
We're going through a major force realignment. The U.S. is refocusing on a major power war, not on the Syrias and Irans of the world.

Cool.
Let's destabalize the ME more.
Good plan
Better plan?
Post those men and women up on the boarder.
We need to circle the wagons.
It's about to get stupid.

ohiodreamer , Jolly , laurazone5 , all 3 of you are right. The Father did not run after the loser prodigal son. He waited for the idiot to be ruined in every way and come back to the Father on the right terms. Although the ME may never settle down, we have done what we could (and some of what we should) and it serves no one to remain when THEY DON'T CHANGE THEIR BEHAVIOR THEY HATE US THEY TRY TO KILL US THERE AND HERE AND STAYING MAKES NO SENSE. We need our troops on our borders and in our cities.

I agree nearly entirely. My objection is the circumstances under which we're withdrawing. I'd agree with withdrawing if we'd have annihilated the threats, but leaving due to the threats shows a weakness our enemies will notice and take advantage of.
This will increase Iran's stature in the Arab world immensely. They can rightfully claim they've defeated the "Great Satan". China will also take note of the "cut & run" US actions, further endangering Taiwan.
Trump wanted to withdraw from Syria when he was in office, but his generals slow-walked his orders until Biden came in.

I'm hearing the US is repositioning the troops to go to South America. No idea if that's true either. I know Venezuela is acting aggressive but no other idea.

Ozarks Tom, agreed, the how to withdraw is the issue. Packing up and walking away works on the playground....but not so much in international politics. I have thoughts on how to do it....but...I have NO education relative to this. So my ideas are likely not good, lol. But if you want a demonstration on the Dewey Decimal system...I'm your gal.
