plain and simple, he did not say anything about living 50,000 or 20,000 troops behind, he stated categorically that come August 31st 2010 all American troops should be back home.
So to all those warmongers, hope you got the message loud and clear.
HE IS ENDING THE BUSH WAR.....PERIOD!

1. He didn't say all troops would be home by Aug. 31, 2010 |
|
He said "combat operations" would end.

there was no mention of how many will stay behind, which is what my argument is about.

All troops home by 12/11. Not as soon as I'd like but yes - he is ending the war in Iraq.

It's about time we ramp down the clusterfuck in Iraq. Bring our troops home!
Ah, just read the article - looks like those 50,000 non-combat troops will be coming home by 2011. AWESOME!!!
I do still want to see an exit strategy in Afghanistan. While I do want to see Al Qaeda in particular, as well as their Taliban enablers smacked down, I don't want us caught in yet another bloody game of Whack-A-Mole.
