After
invading Syria and Iran, The United States military found itself overextended.
Civil unrest at home and incessant attacks by guerrilas had
seriously affected morale. The resistance to the United States Military
occupation of the Persion Gulf oil fields grew in the cities and towns. A
tactical decision was made by Centcom to retreat into the desert. With supply
lines cut , the army found itself short of food, water and ammunition.
Surrounded on all sides, U.S. troops surrendered on January 16th, 2006.
