Official: U.S. pulling out all troops from Iraq - CNN.com
In a short speech delivered minutes ago, President Obama said our remaining forces in Iraq will be home for the coming holidays
Hopefully, it won't help.Logic would tell them to amass their forces and wait until sometime after the US left.
It's all for his campaign in my opinion. I think it's a poor decision for Obama to announce a troop withdrawal or to withdraw if the situation is still hostile or not resolved.
A moot point. Both governments acknowledge the pullout. The US and Iraq could not agree on legal immunity for US military personnel in-theater. Remaining in Iraq would have exposed American soldiers to possible arrest, prosecution, and penalties under Iraqi civil/criminal laws. Such a situation is untenable.I think its a bad idea announcing a pull out date. The insurgents in Iraq are not stupid,except for maybe the suicide bombers. Logic would tell them to amass their forces and wait until sometime after the US left.
How long until Iran goes to war with Iraq for the 100th time?
none of his foreign policy failures or successes will matter in the 2012 election.
the only issues that will decide the winner is the state of the economy and how crazy the GOP nominee is.
..Obama is crazy in my opinion, most of the GOP contenders are much more sensible than him.
Maybe so, but foreign policy will still be an issue people will think about.

That's only true if our continued presence is bringing in rewards that justify the costs. Somewhere is the point of diminishing returns for our efforts. After that point, the difference that our presence makes will not be enough to justify the costs.It's all for his campaign in my opinion.

I think it's funny that people view Obama as a humble competent leader. I guess it's all dependent on the eye of the beholder. I dislike Obama and most of his policies, I recognize his arrogance and failures. I dislike him not because of his party affiliation, but of who he is and what he believes/does.:lamo :lamo :lamo :lamo
Oh, that was funny.
I'm sure if any doctors felt that Obama had a poor grasp on reality, he would be removed and Biden would become POTUS.

apparently the Iraqi govt. refused to guaruntee that American troops would not be prosecuted for war-crimes in Iraqi courts. this seems to have helped motivate Obama's decision.

Which companies are you referring to?
Do you really believe there will be no munitions used because "America's war" is over?
Iran is already making its move and it appears that the fragile democracy in Iraq will be lost and all those lives and treasure will have been wasted and all, it appears, for strictly domestic political purposes.
I have decided that Paul would do the least harmI don't think he's very competent at all. It's just that the Republicans aren't fielding much better.
