Obama's "new plan" retains these elements.
Yet the president argues he is fulfilling a campaign pledge to pull out quickly, a pledge that intentionally and insistently echoed Sen. Harry Reid's, D-Nev., declaration that the war in Iraq was lost.
Reid's claim was stupid, nakedly partisan, deleterious to the war effort and demonstrably false.
Iraq's January provincial elections are another indicator that the emerging victory continues. The London Times reported Baghdad's nightclubs are open for business, noting, "... the burgeoning nightlife in the Iraqi capital is the most dramatic evidence so far that this city is returning to its old, pre-war ways ... ."
Obama Pulls Out, Polemically

Yes, good news for Iraq and the correct foreign policy begun by the Bush administration. But it's bad news in that Obama lied during his campaign to attract votes. What other lies has he told and will tell?

What the heck is Obama thinking? Hope he at least has the sense to stay out of Iran.

He's actually capitulating to the Russians on that one. After Iraq and Afghanistan, Obama's huge cuts to defense will increase the incidence of war world-wide. No one will come riding to the rescue. Israel will stand alone and be forced to use it's nukes.
Obama and his ilk and supporters are traitors to everything the US has always stood for. This is the end of freedom and democracy if he can't be leveraged from office asap.
