President Barack Obama has announced that 33,000 troops will be home by September of 2012 at the latest. This announcement arises the question, is this a strategical military move, or a strategical political move?
Withdrawing the troops is something that should have been announced months ago. With the death of Obama Bin Laden, which was the ultimate target and goal, our mission is therefore complete, and we should come home. I commend President Obama on his decision to bring the troops home, but the timing forces me to question his true intentions.
