This is a responsible plan for redeployment. not a precipitous withdrawal. Our troops in harms way will always have the resources to do the mission their leaders ask of them. It directs our attention to eliminating alQaida. addresses refugee and humanitarian crises. and launches the diplomatic and political surges necessary to prevent regional instability. It also allows us to provide the longer term investments and the political solutions needed in Iraq. It prevents the jihadists from being able to claim victory over America. and it begins to restore Americas prestige. power. and influence in the region and throughout the world.
