Pres. Obama has promised that the war is over by Jan 21, 2010

[styersc]

All troops out of Iraq.

If he lies to us will we be as willing to impeach as we were with Bush's getting us into Iraq with a lie?

How much integrity drives the anti-war progressives at DU?

[democrattotheend]

1. He's also said it will depend on conditions on the ground

He never made an ironclad promise that all troops will be out by then. To do so would be irresponsible.

[styersc]

3. I have absolutely seen film footage of Obama stating one year,

no question!

If he lied and soldiersd die, do we impeach.

(Certainly you know that right now, I am scouring video clips for the footage).

[styersc]

11. Can't find the video right off but it is stated clearly on web

site in his plan for Iraq. In several places he does discuss "responsible redeployment" but clearly states two regiments a month until all troops are out in one year. He states that this is the best way to pressure Iraq government.

I will seek out the footage for the video agers.

But if I am mistaken, and he does not mean a rapid redeployment, out in one year, what time table is he proposing (or you believe he is proposing).

2. Where is his exact quote?

You're full of it.

7. In the debates he said "16 months and out" and said it was the difference between himself & Hillary

4. LOL - Obama adviser Powers said that promise just campaign talk - a "best case" - he wants GOP "love

for that changed atmosphere - so I don't expect his term in office would have any changes from the GOP Lite that would be McCain

9. GOP Lite...

Clinton's a GOP-Lite as well. All of the mainstream Democrats are.

5. Not sure where you got your information

but whoever put it out there is disorting what he has said badly...


I am sick of this crap being put out here!

[styersc]

12. I got it on a wildly inaccurate web page. "Obama '08"

A download PDF, "Barak Obama: Turning the Page in Iraq".

[FrenchieCat]

6. What I know for sure, is that he will do his dammest to make that happen.....

that's all I'm asking for. If anyone can do it, out of those running, he can.

[papau]

8. but, but, if he can't get that GOP love/changed atmosphere that is a good excuse?

[FrenchieCat]

10. Hang it up.

you lose.

[styersc]

13. OMG. Are you serious. We used to demand an end to the war

and now you are demanding a really serious effort to end the war.

Holy sheep dip batman.

[Breeze54]

14. Who? - What's today's date? Did I miss the GE? - 2010?!? - WTF?

Why so fucking long? Gheesh! :grr:

NOW... RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!! NO EXCUSES, ASSHAT!!! :nuke:

:grr:

[Neshanic]

15. How sad. Thinking that either will end the war in their terms. They will not.

They just will not.
