We are witnessing a level of volatility in the Middle East that poses a serious threat to U.S. security and to our interests in the region. While our allies and partners seek strong U.S. leadership and engagement in the region, they instead see signs of disengagement. Our withdrawals from Iraq and Afghanistan, the administration's rebalance to other regions and its dealmaking with Iran help shape this view. There is widespread uncertainty about U.S. commitment in the Middle East. Former U.N. [United Nations] Ambassador to Iraq James Jeffrey [wrote] in a recent op-ed, \"As often happens in this region.\" Equally important is our military posture in the region, how we combat evolving threats, deter Iran, degrade Al Qaeda, and assure our allies and partners. We also must ensure our military posture and its associated capabilities are not traded for interim deals with regimes that have a history of noncompliance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Committee on Armed Services House of Rep\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501040693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501040696\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.18d","brand":"Committee on Armed Services House of Rep","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48622921875711,"sku":"9781501040696","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/united-states-security-policy-and-committee-on-armed-services-house-of-rep-9781501040696","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
