"There are still questions about whether some U.S. troops will remain in Iraq beyond the withdrawal deadline set for the end of this year. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said in December that there's no need for a continued U.S. troop presence, but top American commanders are not so sure.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates recently told Congress that talks about extending the deadline are ongoing. One congressman suggested there could be 20,000 troops in Iraq next year, down from the roughly 50,000 now."

Another day, another promise broken. And while we apparently don't have money for teachers, firefighters, the poor, job creation, and the general welfare of our country, which is suffering, we apparently do have money to conduct two endless wars and give money back to the rich.

This so sucks, this pisses me off, and depresses me to no end.
