What will happen as we depart Iraq under the Obama Exit Strategy?

• Military will have to relocate in country to staging areas for the redeployment. This will provide easy targets for all enemies of the US in Iraq to attack.

• The attacks will increase greatly and become very persistent. The purpose is to show as much aggression against the US for recruiting and funding purposes as we try to depart Iraq. They will attempt to indicate that they drove the US out of Iraq just as they drove the Russians out of Afghanistan. They will also attempt to correlate our departure from Iraq as the same departure from Vietnam. To many of the Muslim world this will elevate Osama bin Laden in exactly the same stature he held immediately following the 9-11 attacks.

• With the increase in followers and funding to the Al Qaeda network, they can and will follow us here to the shores of the Continental US.

• It will be now up to unarmed Americans to defend themselves from the enemy instead of the American Military who at least had the opportunity to face and defend themselves from the enemy.

• President Obama, Senator Reid, and Congresswoman Pelosi will attempt to blame President Bush for the cause and effect. The will always use “we should never have been there in the first place” as their primary deflection of blame.

• Truth is just as we attacked Iraq in the first place, we cut off all communication within Saddam’s military network; we are doing this to ourselves here in defense of Al Qaeda. By removing the abilities to monitor possible surveillance of our enemies and other restrictions to the American intelligence community we continually place ourselves in the dark just as we did Saddam. When we are attacked the next time President Obama, Senator Reid, and Congresswoman Pelosi will of course blame President Bush for a failed Homeland Security Program and of course announce how they will improve it.

• Senator Obama states that we are no safer now than when we moved into Iraq, truth will be told when our first attack since 9-11 occurs on our shores. Can he, as our current President, accept the responsibility for the next attack or blame others.
