You must be psychic....I was just wondering this about a half hour ago.Are We Out of Iraq Yet Obama???
Hmmm. And over 100 Iraqis died in a single blast:Since the June pull back of US forces from Iraq cities, there have been 17 US casualties. The war is all but offcially over. All that is left is the logistics and the responsible clean up of Bush's mess.

BAGHDAD -- Nearly simultaneous truck bombs struck Iraq's capital Wednesday, with the explosions killing at least 95 people.
More than 400 people were wounded in the blasts, ....
"The criminal acts that took place today require us to re-evaluate our plans and security mechanisms in order to confront the terrorist challenges and to increase cooperation between security forces and the Iraqi people," he said.
He said the government had placed Iraq's army and police forces on high alert.
Blaming Iraq on Bush and GOP is more hypocrisy. They all voted for it, Democrats too, they all came out in droves against Saddam's WMD, and no votes on Iraq were ever close, whether on spending or the invasion. The only time Democrats ever opposed Bush seriously was with Terry Schiavo and SCHIPs. Other than that, Bush could always count on Dem support from day one to the last day of eight years.
The anti-war rhetoric and Obama's previous statements on withdrawal were all obvious lies. And the media's stance is truly enlightening.

I've spoken with Obama voters lately, and they are embarrassed now. They regret it, just like many regretted voting Bush. I just look them in the eye, and shake my head in disgust. Everything I warned them would happen is here.
Blue Dogs are still Democrats when it comes right down to it, so let's see how bad we get screwed on this healthcare deal. The real screwing will be the VAT. Watch that one.
I've gotten the same response from the Obama voters I know, I told them they would rue the day they voted that clown in, and I was right. As usual.
Obama has stated that it would take a year or so to get all troops out of Iraq.
He also did promise to contribute more troops to Afghanistan. So his present course of his action comes to no surprise to those people who look beyond the sound bytes.
And before you cry "Obamabot Liberal!" I object to more troops in Afghanistan and do wish we'd get out of Iraq.
[Emphasis mine] Not quite the picture that I see. Please expand on your simplification.True that the GOP also used it as a tool.
But still the bigger pic is the cred. The GOP still cares about the war, still discusses it, still gives it priority status as an issue (as much as an impotent minority can). The sincerity about this issue's importance is genuine.
Not so for the Dems.
You actually think the GOP cares about the war. The only reason they still discuss it is to BASH OBAMA despite the fact that the majority of them voted for it.
There is no sincerity about this issue because Republicans avoided the issue of the Iraq War and tried to distance themselves as far from Bush in the 2006 mid-term elections and 2008 elections as if Bush had Swine Flu.
If you truly believe the GOP give a shit, then they definitely have you fooled. It is merely a talking point for them. As Willy has stated basically, the war has moved to Afghanistan.
As much as we'd all love to be out of Iraq tomorrow, all that is left is logistics and we're gone. It's Afghanistan we need to focus on now.

Thank goodness for the observant! BHO said he would pull all combat troops out. Sleight of hand, and no one notices.Obama has stated that it would take a year or so to get all troops out of Iraq.
He also did promise to contribute more troops to Afghanistan. So his present course of his action comes to no surprise to those people who look beyond the sound bytes.

I don't think Barry ever said he'd pull ALL the troops out of Iraq...

What, three Democrats voted against the Iraq war? They wanted him to go to the UN, Bush did. He got their approval, and the rest is history. Democrats backed Bush the entire time he was in office. There was no massive majority by GOP, everything happened with Dem collusion.
I know Dems don't like to hear that, but go check out the votes during Bush's tour.
Only a bidenhole would deny the massive Democrat and media push for the Iraq war.
Hell, they demanded another debate in the Senate, in advance of the '02 elections, so they could all on board with their "meee toooo"s.What, three Democrats voted against the Iraq war?

Not in the least. It's clear, crystal.Ahh, so Obama following the Bush Plan for Iraq is OK now.
Anyone else confused?![]()
