IS THE REAL REASON WE ARE ABRUPTLY EXITING IRAQ THE FACT THAT AN ATTACK ON IRAN IS IMMINENT?

SINCE US TROOPS STATIONED IN IRAQ WOULD BE A PRIME TARGET FOR AN IRANIAN RETALIATION USING LOCAL "INSURGENTS", GETTING THEM OUT OF THERE IS A NECESSARY PRECONDITION FOR AN ATTACK.

SO MAYBE THAT'S THE REAL REASON OBAMA IS TAKING THEM OUT OF IRAQ.

THIS NEWS WOULD SEEM TO CORROBORATE IT:

In addition to negotiations over maintaining a ground combat presence in Kuwait, the United States is considering sending more naval warships through international waters in the region.

With an eye on the threat of a belligerent Iran, the administration is also seeking to expand military ties with the six nations in the Gulf Cooperation Council — Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Oman. While the United States has close bilateral military relationships with each, the administration and the military are trying to foster a new “security architecture” for the Persian Gulf that would integrate air and naval patrols and missile defense.

The size of the standby American combat force to be based in Kuwait remains the subject of negotiations, with an answer expected in coming days.

SHOULD WE ATTACK IRAN THIS SPRING, OUR TROOPS WOULD BE SAFER IN KUWAIT.

OBAMA COULD ATTACK IRAN THIS SPRING IN ORDER TO HELP HIS RE-ELECTION BID.
