He never lied about Afghanistan. He always said that Afghanistan is where we should be concentrating out efforts and that's what he's doing. This isgood, he's finally coming up with a plan to leave Iraq. He didn't lie about anything.
OBAMA lied about ending the War in Iraq to get elected

This is what I hate about politics - especially American politics. People will stand up for someone not because they believe in their policy, but because thatpolitician has emotional appeal, or because their ignorance in combination with polarization prevents them from taking a logical position.
Obama has been saying this for quite some time. It is no different from anything that has been going on before, only Obama words things correctly to maintaina good image. I mean, just look at what Obama said, and what he DIDN'T say - stuff was said that way on purpose, not surprisingly, because they wanted toconceal their real policy to the American people.
I have a suggestion. Lets listen to what the MAJORITY of Iraqis want in respect to an American troops presence - that is, that we get out of their country. Sure, there are logistical barriers to pulling out quickly, but leaving really does not seem to be our aim.
Stop with the rhetoric, Obama. Just like Bush, stop propagandizing America.

Sundoobie.....what did you really expect fam?
That we were going to withdraw all military presence from the most valuable land inch for inch on Earth?...after losing thousands of lives and expendingbillions?
This is as lose to a complete withdrawal as we are ever going to get and I support the war in Afghanistan 100%. That is the real a-qaeda battleground. Thereisn't anything there worth stealing, no real benefit of having a puppet government in a barren wasteland....we are there for the right reasons.

You're making it sound like we don't have the resources to remove every single US soldier, equipment, weapons, etc.. whever we want. Mike Brown anyone? You know the guy from FEMA that said, we don't have the resources to bring food and water to residents of New Orleans. Bull CRAP!
I know our govt can at any moment mobilize and prepare the logistics to bring our troops home at any given moment. I am sure they practice drills just forthis type of scenario.
So what do I expect? I expect this President to bring our troops home from Iraq in the 16 to 19 month period as he promised. Not a big * about a residualforce of 50,000 soldiers to remain there until December 2011. What happens when the Sunni paramilitary forces or the Sadr brigade decides to challenge andtarget those 50,000 troops scattered all over Iraq? They all have a big vendetta against our troops. Those soldiers will be more in jeopardy then what theyare dealing with now. What then? We send in another surge to support those troops? Either everyone leaves or NO ONE leaves.

^^^Thats how you end up staying in Iraq for 100 years.
We have the military means to withdraw within a couple of days but that would be a political disaster on so many fronts?
You really thought that we were going to withdraw our complete military presence in a couple of months? That was kind of naive.
Iraq = Korea.
As long as America is around...we will be there.

Exactly! everything he's doing now, he has already mentioned that he was going to do in some capacity during his campaign.
it's only the naive people, who didn't pay attention to his policies and were just swept away by his outward image, that think he lied. if you actuallypaid attention to what he said in debates, interviews, etc everything he's doing now is consistent. i knew what he was going to do when i voted for him,and i'm still supporting it now.

Right, but the region is so unstable, and the Iraqi army is not well trained enough to fend for themselves. It's not rhetoric, it's justcommon sense. There are a number of things that America does not want to happen to Iraq. One of them is Iran gaining too much influence over their government.However, even if they do or don't it makes no difference. If Iraq does turn out to be a democratic state, they're still going to agree with the Arabsentiment in the region and sympathize with the numerous gripes that Arabs have with America. Just because we brought them democracy does not mean thatthey're going to agree with us on every policy, and quite frankly I hope that they don't.
Overall, we are removing a large portion of the army, and I hope that after the response this plan received, we remove even more because we do need to traintheir troops, however we do not need 50,000 soldiers to stay and do this.

I see a lot of double standards here. I mean, did we not just get over 8 years of crying about how many times we were lied to by the Bush administration? Isyour response really just going to be, "politicians lie"?

The region was made unstable due to the United States' presence. Ironically, according to a Pentagon report, 80% of Iraqis agreed that thekey to national reconciliation was that we leave the country. It can't be more clear than that.
As far as the U.S. not wanting certain things to happen in Iraq: that is precisely why we shouldn't be there. We have unilaterally interfered with asovereign nation, in violation of international law. If Iraq agrees with the region's anti-American sentiment, they're entitled to do so; they SHOULDbe entitled to do so if they like.
And we're not going anywhere. It is nice to speculate and hypothesize that we're going to be leaving, but I wouldn't count on it, considering themoney the United States has been allocating to build permanent bases in Iraq. In fact, some have even described a base we're building in Baghdad as a"city within a city."
We need to hold our leaders accountable for their actions. And so far, Obama's policy has not been unlike Bush's.

Obama sucks, McCain sucks, Dems suck, Republicans suck, all elected officials suck. Remember when it was the "best and brightest" minds? Now it isjust who can survive the grimey politics. Our elected officials are so far out of touch with the "common man" it isn't funny.
