Re: Last Combat Troops Leave Iraq
More than anything, our presence there offers us a strategic position on the map in the event Iran wants to start something.
We're primarily there to train the Iraqis and be a stable force to protect the newly formed government. But having a base that close to Iran (which happens to be between Iran and Israel) definitely plays into it.
