The point that people miss when criticizing his desired to get out of Iraq is - he wants to bring those troop shere to defend our country. We will have spent $2 trillion in Iraq and lost 4,000 of our best men and women. How about we spend that money here??? and if we are going to lose American lives, lets do it defending our country, not the middle east.
((stepping off soapbox))
why spend the money and live defending our country when we could do it defending a country to avoid fighting here.
If your neighbor is preparing to kill you will you wait for him to come to you or go after him.
What we need to do is make these country's that we defend and protect need to pay the bill
