This is retarded. The war’s already over and now Obama’s going to take credit for it.

You know the war is over when CNN sent home all their reporters since nobody’s getting killed anymore or their heads chopped. They don’t want anybody there to cover the peace.

Bush got all the heat, he stuck through with it. And now Obama gets the rewards. That’s just great.

EXACTLY!!

If Hussein had an ounce of decency at all in him,,

he would give John McCain credit for the 'surge' and WINNING the war.

Of course he has no decency--so that will never, ever happen.

It’s going to stay that way as long as we continue to let the left control the media.

We can thank President Bush, General Petraeus and our magnificent troops for defeating the enemy in Iraq and making this homecoming possible. And this is despite the treasonous activities of the New York Times, the MSM in general, and the ENTIRE Democrat party, including weak-kneed traitors like B. Hussein Obama.

Also, in addition Hussein is trying to cut the military budget by 10% and has promised to cancel most new weapons systems also. Again, don't forget this is coming from a man who,,,

gave 'aid-and-comfort' to our enemies during time of war with his incessant calls for a pullout before the job was done,,,

and 'THAT VERY ENCOURAGEMENT' to our enemies helped prolong the war and cost more American casualties!!

More troops home. More troops on the street...

More people unemployed.

This guy has all the mental acuity of a donut.

Ever notice how the “messiah” is going to do all these “wonderful” things in a year or two? Wasn’t one of their slogans, “The World Can’t Wait”?

“We are in a position to start putting more responsibility on the Iraqis”

Wow, never heard that one before, LOL. I wonder how Obama made all that possible in just a few days? He's the magic man, I tell ya.

The credit belongs to Bush and Patreus more than McCain who didn't come up with the strategy, just supported it as so many other Reps did. This is like the rooster claiming credit for the sunrise.

True....

But the Terrorist know that all they have to do is wait until our troops are gone. And, Obama will leave almost none behind to shore up Iraqi security.

That is when I believe Iran will step in, aided by Syria. Perhaps that is when all of Saddam's WMD will surface, coming from Syria, used by Iranian/Syrian forces. Israel will also be a target very soon.

Obama will not have a clue about what to do. They will stall for months trying to get the UN involved. Precious time will slip by and World energy prices will go off the chart.

Add that to our terminally ill economy, only the imagination can visualize the outcome. Hopefully, none of this even remotely becomes a reality.

>>>"Substantial" troops home from Iraq in year: Obama

Mr. President: Due to an act of elective idiocy, you are every "troops" Commander in Chief.

If you don't yet understand that everyone of them are some of the most "substantial" human beings you will ever meet, then you are not fit to command the latrine clean-up detail.

Maybe Obama is writing and reading rote out of the Clinton/Gore playbook. Gore and Clinton reinvented government and saved the taxpayers monies by getting rid of almost a million servicemen. The ignorant public gave them accolades for that event and it became real evident after 9-11-01...

"substantial" number of troops will be home from Iraq within a year . . . "

Liberal meaning: Having no need for these "substantial troops" any longer, the military will be cut by the number of troops coming home. 25,000 comes home, 25,000 cut from military; 33,000 comes home, 33,000 cut from military; air craft carrier comes off deployment after rotation, air craft carrier mothballed in Bremerton, WA with other mothballed carriers. It will go on and on. I fully expect a big cut back in our national defense budget to be used to fund socialist programs, cut back in the number of troops deployed over seas and on Navy vessels deployed, cut back in number of air planes, helo's, weapons, ammo, new systems. IT WILL HAPPEN. Count on it because they want that money for more socialist spending.

Obama will be able to put the returning troops to work enforcing the new Fairness Doctrine. They can go door to door and make sure people aren’t listening to Rush Limbaugh.

More to the point...the HOLE in the donut, LOL!

This just burns me up. How I loathe this man. I never thought anyone would top Clinton, but he just looks like a pathetic, sex-crazed, pathological LOSER, compared to the DANGEROUS, odious ‘man’ now in the Oval Office. *SPIT*
