I love how they pick December 2008. They’re counting on a Democrat winning the presidency, and they want to make sure the war is over by the time they take office, so that liberals can still blame 100% of everything related to Iraq/ Afghanistan on Bush and the new president can come in with no “wars” to deal with.
"I have a little civics lesson for the Democrat Leadership in the House of Representatives: you don't get to pick the withdrawal date of the troops, I do. And in making that decision, I will go by the judgement of the military commmanders in the field, not the politicians in Washington DC."
Something like Jimmy Carter’s new beginning. Then the roof fell in, domestically and in foreign affairs.
