Defence Secretary Leon Panetta and some of the high brass are of the opinion Obama should have left the door open for further negotiations. They believe it is in the U.S.'s best interests to keep even a "symbolic force" in Iraq and in the Persian Gulf zone.
Already, the U.S. has decided to strengthen its military presence in Kuwait, next door to Iraq. The U.S. also hopes Egypt will enhance its military co-operation with Saudi Arabia. As part of this new perception, Egypt and Saudi Arabia will participate jointly next month in Persian Gulf naval manoeuvres.
