BS jenny. The Bush Administration was not going to broadcast a timetable for all the world to see and Obama is pulling out ALL BRIGADES! Sounds like he is leaving no presence behind to me.
And please..don’t tell everyone to ‘calm down’. Obama and the dems are going to destroy this country in short order and we had better get mad and vocal about it FAST!!
My understanding is that there will be some Tropps left. Not all are coming out.
I think what is bad and we are not catching here, is that all offensive measures will be stopped. We should be keeping the enemy off balance and the way to do that is by attacking.
Yes, he is going to destroy our Nation, but we must keep from looking like we have Obama Derangement Syndrome. I don't think this is going to be easy, because this guy is going to stand on our only nerve.
So, it is true that we must get mad, but we have to keep from looking like we are deranged.
Pact, Approved in Iraq, Sets Time for U.S. Pullout
By CAMPBELL ROBERTSON and STEPHEN FARRELL New York Times Published: November 16, 2008
BAGHDAD — Iraq’s cabinet on Sunday overwhelmingly approved a proposed security agreement that calls for a full withdrawal of American forces from the country by the end of 2011. The cabinet’s decision brings a final date for the departure of American troops a significant step closer after more than five and a half years of war.
-----
The proposed agreement, which took nearly a year to negotiate with the United States, not only sets a date for American troop withdrawal, but puts new restrictions on American combat operations in Iraq starting Jan. 1 and requires an American military pullback from urban areas by June 30. Those hard dates reflect a significant concession by the departing Bush administration, which had been publicly averse to timetables.
-----
In Washington, the White House welcomed the vote as “an important and positive step” and attributed the agreement itself to security improvements in the past year.
-----
As I said, things were pretty much worked out, The Big O is just trying to take the credit.
