Obama stuck with the bush/Gates agreement with iraq for withdrawal.
"CTers" on the forum have been saying for a year that june 30, 09 was exit date, even if others called them nuts. Seems iraq didn't budge - they're kicking us out...
EXCLUSIVE: Cheney fears Iraq withdrawal will 'waste' U.S. sacrifices

Former Vice President Dick Cheney on Monday said he is concerned about U.S. forces withdrawing from Iraqi cities within 24 hours.
Mr. Cheney told The Washington Times' America's Morning News radio show that he is a strong believer in Gen. Ray Odierno, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, and that the general is doing what needs to be done.
"But what he says concerns me: That there is still a continuing problem. One might speculate that insurgents are waiting as soon as they get an opportunity to launch more attacks.
"I hope Iraqis can deal with it. At some point they have to stand on their own. But I would not want to see the U.S. waste all the tremendous sacrifice that has gotten us to this point."
