As far as troop withdrwal goes. If we go for almost immediate troop withdrawl at the enstatement of the new president I feel it will be a catastrophic mistake for this country that only god knows what the reprocussions(SP?) will be. The job of the president is not to worry about approval ratings or what people think of him but to do what is right for the people. Pulling troops out of before the job is done is a terrible decision
