Sources tell ABC News that the president will announce today that US troops in Iraq will draw down to zero by the end of the year.

A White House official says that at approximately 11:30am today, President Obama convened a secure video conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to talk with him about this news.

Hussein:

Walking away from friends (Israel, Iraqis who wanted freedom, Iranian youths who stood up against the mullahs) and...

Embracing those who hate America($900 billion to HAMAS, the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt, and al-Qaeda related groups in Libya)

Hussein: hating America every day from the Oval Office.

And when Sadr and his Iranian backed mob start a civil war, Bambi can take credit for that as well.

[The FIGHTIN Illini]

Right On! Good call, I agreed with your forecast, unfortunately.

[Winstons Julia]

But many of these troops are Oathkeepers.

More troops freed up for wars in Africa

My thoughts as well.

The second is a more accurate title.

I’m actually pretty pleased. We should leave Afghanistan also. Why? Because our soldiers have their hands tied and no American leader apparently has the guts to actually win.

[Gator113]

I doubt that he would actually send troops back.

[TheRobb7]

I was wondering when they were gonna make a sequel to The Killing Fields...........

/sarc....I think.

[ex-snook]

War long over. End nation building.

He may get a temporary bump..... but after Iran moves in, he’ll be forced to send troops back, and his numbers will drop like a stone.

His Iranian buds won't make a move until after the election.

[MARKUSPRIME]

Iran will have new oil fields soon enough. Obama = imbecile

[nuconvert]

The Iranians hate him, don’t be ridiculous

[hattend]

You think they hate him more than having a Conservative, Pro-Israeli, President? (only one I can think of right now is Cain...maybe Perry)

They won’t move until after the election.

[nuconvert]

They’re not waiting that long

[Yulee]

Could the sudden withdrawal serve three purposes:

1. Shore up Obama’s socialist base (yeah look what I did).

2. Force the abandonment of resources for Muslim terrorist to get their hands on (Sadr etc.).

3. Empower Iran to carry on its goal of the return of the Mahdi, and the establishment of the caliph.

[Merlinator]

I too hate that evil POS. Theblood of all those lost in Iraq is on his hands. I hope he pays dearly.

[hattend]

We’ll see.

[plain talk]

I am surprised it took Obama so long to pull the troops out. The democrat’s goal is for Iraq to implode so they can say Bush’s plan didn’t work etc. They are invested in Iraq not succeeding.

On the other hand if it DOES succeed somehow then Obama will claim credit for it and say it was a mess when Bush left it and Obama fixed it.

Win/win for Obama.
