ABC New’s Jake Tapper reports:
President Obama will announce today that the United States is pulling all its troop from Iraq by the end of the year.
According to a White House official, “this deal was cut by the Bush administration, the agreement was always that at end of the year we would leave, but the Iraqis wanted additional troops to stay. We said here are the conditions, including immunities. But the Iraqis because of a variety of reasons wanted the troops and didn’t want to give immunity.
“So that’s it. Now our troops go to zero,” the official added.
“We will have a very robust diplomatic presence. But it will be a normal diplomatic presence like we have in many countries.
“This country also wants to have its independence. They’re producing 2 ½ billion barrels of oil a day. They just paid something like $1.6 billion for something like 20 F-16s. They have a deal now with GE. By the end of next summer they will surpass Iran in oil production. They could surpass Saudi Arabia in a few years. This will impact the whole equilibrium in the Middle East.
“We want to have a new relationship with this country.”
At approximately 11:30am today, President Obama convened a secure video conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to talk with him about this news, a source said.

Ohh fuck him he's just saying that to get relelected. What a failure of a President.

Wonder where he is sending them all next, surely not home ???

Obama Pwning once again. He is the best President we have ever had when it comes to literally destroying Terrorism, terrorists and those who harbor them. He also has cleaned up the messes abroad that Bush left. His foreign policy is unmatched.

Yeah, this was planned and agreed to three years ago. No doubt Obama will take full credit for finally ending the war in Iraq and the media will lavish him with praises for correcting the mistake of Bush's quagmire/militaristic adventure.
Fuck everyone, especially BHO.

uh-oh
......at this point you all know what i'm gonna say

Say what you want, but Obama has ordered the destruction of thousands and thousands of terrorists directly by his military authorizations of drone attacks, counter-terror strikes and special forces operations.

Obama can take all the credit he wants. His watch.
A slight bump in the polls aint gonna matter or how much Juan Williams and Geraldo suck him off.
Unemployment sky high, spending is still up, loan scandals just keep coming out, fast and furious is getting bigger and bigger.
His "base" doesn't give a flying F&*k about if our troops come home or die, this won't shore up a win for him.

Nobel Peace Prize baby !!! Odrama's destruction of terrorists is the one thing I actually like about him. Can you imagine a tag-team of Obama and Reagan in dealing with foreign policy? haha

No, he specifically put the Drone policy to the forefront. Bush thought it wouldn`t work.
Here is what Bush said in an October 8th 2011 Interview with Bob Woodward regarding the usage of Drones:
“If I thought it was a better strategy, I would have used it in the first place. I didn’t think so,”

Reagan not so much since he likes to bargain with Terrorists, trade arms for hostages and letting Lebanon PWN him so much that he cut and ran when the Marine barracks were bombed in 1983. Reagan did NOTHING and pulled out all troops.

bush ftw
Putin needs to get the mongrels back in line and re-form the Soviet Union.

They can just stay in the military and have a job.

Perhaps you are onto something. Everyone who receives govt assistance, unemployment, etc... should be drafted into the military. They could locate land mines and such....

Funny.. he is doing exactly that!
Last week Russia stated it's building two new military bases in ex-Soviet republic Gerogia's former territory that Russia freed in 2008!
Then Putin came up with a proposal to form a new trade union (as a first step) between some ex-Soviet countries:

Ok... Seriously... If former Presidents get to take credit for this, then they have to take responsibility for the economy too.
Either it's the current guy in the office or it's not... PERIOD.

We're talking about security not econ

How can you say the policies 3 years ago are valid for one but not the other?
That doesn't jive well with me.
-
this is strictly for re election.. his poll numbers are in the very low 40 s.. he is pulling out all the stops to get better approval numbers for re election.. nothing more.. if he was hovering around 50% he would not be pulling out troops.. trust me his advisors (military) are not approving this..
-
Well, I guess if your talking about the actual budget of the security I guess we can. Since Obama wants to cut the security budget then only thing that would be left was to keep the security and intel policies going. He's dumb, but not dumb enough to repeal Bush's security policies (like he originally wanted).

I will have to disagree... President's take the good and the bad with them.
We always blame the person in charge and as such, we should credit the person in charge as well.
Do I think Obama is some super genius... of course not, and he's done lots of things I do not like, but he's done some good too, and you can not just ignore the good he has done because you do not like him.
Bringing the troops home from Iraq goes a long way,
-
Awesome, bring them home and park them on the US/Mexico border.
