We shouldn't pull out until the new government is established and then asks us to leave because they believe that they can handle any threat to their security.

That may be in 12 months. Or that may be in 10 years...We are fully invested in their success.

If we pretend we are not invested in their success then we are in for a huge disaster.

Note: We're still in Japan and Germany.
