According to this deal signed by Bush and the Iraqi Government in 2008,all U.S. Forces should be completely out of Iraq by 2011. I guess we'll see if this happens.

This is a Bush signed agreement. Hopefully some in our MSM will point this out. I'm not holding my breath though.
Obama wanted troops out of Iraq. Bush signed an agreement to get combat troops out of Iraq. I don't think the 'present' junior Senator from Illinois' 2008 plan was quite what Bush gave us.
And, the funniest thing is the amount of Iraqi combat troops who have been redeployed as support staff.
Sleight of hand, but you seem to enjoy the show.
Oh, really?
Poster earlier in the thread ... Obama, one month before the "time horizon" deal:
As Ive said many times, we must be as careful getting out of Iraq as we were careless getting in. We can safely redeploy our combat brigades at a pace that would remove them in 16 months. That would be the summer of 2010 two years from now, and more than seven years after the war began. After this redeployment, a residual force in Iraq would perform limited missions: going after any remnants of Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, protecting American service members and, so long as the Iraqis make political progress, training Iraqi security forces. That would not be a precipitous withdrawal.
LMAO! Shall we redefine 'remove'?
I wonder if mal is as quick to credit Bush with the state of the economy too?
I just love it when tu quoque is used. It tickles me.Oh, really?

Like BUSHCO always redefined "intelligence on WMDs"???????
Yes, you are misremembering history.
Up until mid 2008 the Bush Admin refused to make "timetables" for getting out of Iraq. When it became perfectly clear anyone with a half a brain that even the Dems couldn't manage to lose the White House in November, Bush allowed the "time horizon" plan to go through. They used the term "time horizon" because they and their media attack dogs had painted themselves into a corner viciously attacking support for a timetable as "support for the terrorist" but they also knew the war was going to be "ended" by the next admin and they wanted to beat them to the political punch so people like you could claim that this was actually Bush's plan along ... and voila, time horizon. Make no mistake about it, if McCain had any kind of a chance at winning or if Bush could have run for and won third term there is no way that "time horizon" would have come to pass.

No it wasn't, and the Success of the Surge is because of Barry's Leadership in his Partial First and only Senate Term...
Carry on... Racist.
peace...
Seriously though...
u
It wasn't Dubya's "policy," it was Dubya's agreed to objective. Big difference.
Anyone that thinks that by Dubya making the agreement, his successor and all the generals, officers and soldiers could just sit back and wait for it to happen is, well, seriously fucking retarded. Sure, Dubya set the goal, but Obama executed and delivered on it. A fact that pisses off conservatives that put party before country... in other words, total fucking douchebags.
true story
that's not correct.
yes it is
no. it's not... bush's position was always... well, we'll see... and even then only after he had to give in and bring in petreus. until then, he had his head up his butt and was flailing wildly in a war we never should have started.
Him and those who voted for it that put us there to begin with are rightfully blamed but yeah, it was his plan and I don't see it ending anytime soon, 50000 is still over there in that mistake and it won't surprise me one iota if we ask for an extention come next year or go right back in.
That is the way i understood it. obama is just following the time line that was already laid out.
that's not correct.
