We have a fortress embassy in Iraq and perminant air-bases. We have naval base in Qatar. "We" are building a road into Afghanistan's mineral-ore rich Bamayan Valley (the middle E-W Route, where the Buddhist Statues were).
Do you really think that after squandering trillions of US military resources establishing bases all over the area, THEY (the supra-national Corporatists) are going to walk off and leave it all behind? -- to the Chinese, Europeans, Arabs, Jews, Aussies, Japanese or other vulture Colonialists? And do you really think this is for "US" -- or that what you think matters?
This IS "The New American Century" fools. Are you kidding? Wake up to today and the future.

We need war to suppport our citizens and enrich the 1%

When the resources run out, we will pull out and ignore it
The only way we are getting out of the middle east is if we build a renewable energy system that does not rely on oil.
