I wont be, I believe I have heard enough of his speeches for the rest of his term. On top of that he is just going to take credit for the success of a strategy he openly disapproved of and attempted to block while he was in the Senate. The fact of the matter is that he is still keeping troops in Iraq, and there is no real reason for him to sit there and tell me "I won the war" when he did everything in his power while in Senate to block provisions and negatively effect it.
Not that I am a fan of this war, and it never should have happened in the first place, but Obama should not really expect me to believe that he won anything or is pulling everyone out when he is most certainly not and did not.
I sure could use some help in Poli Sci. Durn ole' Texas Gov't.
I bet some girl would be happy to have you.She would never have to worry about you straying,you're always right at home in front of the TV/Comp
He's pulling more out than Bush did. Better to have 100,000+ troops home than over there.
I totally agree with you, and I didnt care for Bush or his waging of unconstitutional wars. But I think that EVERY troop should be pulled out, not this illusion that Obama and his cabinet are painting.
Girls and I don't work well in that sense.
Which is why he said there will be about 50,000 staying in Iraq until next year when all of them are out?
These wars are endless and should be ended post haste. America's military duties are to its defense, not nation building and policing other nations. The Founders were against these types of actions.
They will not all be leaving, they will keep other troops there as "Peacekeepers" or just in case as they do in all of these other nations around the world.
Which is the issue I have with the GOP: they have zero issue with more or less endless war it seems. Obama said he would end the Iraq war in his term and that's what he's done. This is new and is actual change. Granted it's change back to what happened before Bush, but it is in fact something different.
So in other words it'll be just like everything else instead of like it is now? Sounds fine to me.
Not really, I dont think our troops should be in their nations in any capacity, as a matter of fact studies show that violence is brought on because of our capacity in those nations.
It doesnt to me. Do you know we spend one trillion dollars a year keeping our troops in the 180 nations they are in? If we wanted to help our economy and reduce the over-stretching of our military this would be a great place to start.
Better than spending trillions of dollars and costing thousands of lives.
It seems the easy solution would be to pull the troops, and bomb the entire Middle East. I think it was the Denny Crane solution.
But then the oil wells would be blown up too and Texas would probably revolt.
As almost everyone has said, this is all Bush's mess. He got us into these two wars which just HAD to happen. There's no clean way out of these and if you just pull out entirely then the countries are going to fall withing a year at best. Obama is moving slowly because he has to.
