Four years later -undetermined end

The Senate rejected a proposal to begin pulling troops from over the next four months. Well, the Republicans rejected the measure. Specifically, one Democrat voted against the requirement, while one Republican voted for it. Are policymakers laying political games with the lives of American troops? I am baffled that the security risk of dropping soldiers in a battle zone embedded by religious fundamentalists is a partisan issue.
There is countless evidence that terrorism will persist in Iraq and throughout the world on account of a retaliation of violent American intervention in Islamic societies. Most recently is the uprising of another Islamic terrorist group, similar to Al Qaeda in strength and numbers.
The war on terrorism is linked too intimately with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The enemy is unpredictable and recruits martyrs daily. What hasn't mitigated terrorism in four years continues to obstruct American military goals. It is important to highlight, however, that evicting a war criminal from controlling the lives of millions of Iraqis was a victory. But the aftermath of various destructive interventions in Iraq and globally has resulted in invertible waste of lives, not to mention billions of dollars.
