Just let them know"allah and the USAF are watching you" Be bad and we'll turn you into a lump of coal.
If we DON'T keep troops there, we will be there again in a decade. Did we not learn anything from Gulf War 1. I don't give two shits if they don't want us there. Korea and Europe bitched and complained publicly they didn't want us there but PRIVATELY they love the fact that American Boys are protecting their flank.

We better get our head out of our AZZ and realize that radical islamic fanaticism is not going away. If you pull out and leave, it will grow. Yea, the middle east has been fighting for a thousand years, or more, but I'd much rather them burn and destroy **** in their land than MY LAND. Just saying.

I don't get how folks don't UNDERSTAND that........Seems pretty simple to me.
