Let's pull the military back from the middle east at last. Our country can no longer afford to be the "Policeman of the World." Those days are over! If military presence is required, it has to be more NATO based where all developed countries chip in evenly. Let's get smart about this...come on! Only problem is that Obama does NOT want an increase in unemployment right before his re-election efforts. Funny how this country is ruled to appease the frickin politicians. What a sad sad state of affairs. What is the net gain? We patrol the middle east and chase away all the bad guys but gas is still at over $4.00 a gallon. What a joke!
