America's Capitulation in the War on Terror

Abstract

This article will describe the goals of the United States in regard to its post September 11 2001 war on terrorism. It will focus on the objectives in the battle for Iraq and the will of the American Congress and people to achieve those objectives. It will then examine how even when those original goals were met the United States did not achieve all of the results promised. A study into some ways that the American people are being negatively influenced by Members of Congress and the press will follow. In summary the paper will look at how this negative view of the American people to the battle in Iraq will determine whether the United States should set a timeline for withdrawal from Iraq.
