The article discusses the 2011 U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq, with a particular focus on its long-term and short-term consequences for security and political stability in Iraq. It is suggested U.S. failure to prepare adequately for withdrawal and to leave residual forces in Iraq resulted in the weakening of the Iraqi government and the destabilization of the country. The author emphasizes that U.S. military planners and commanders had warned the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama about such outcomes. Details on the proposed U.S. and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) withdrawal from Afghanistan are also presented.
