Dude...this clip is very short and it's Obama speaking. He said if the troops are not home by the time he's president it would be the very first thing he would do. "And you can take that to the bank!" He says.
Seems the only thing that's been taken to the bank since he's been in office is the taxpayer's money....
Would you aprove if Obama began to draw ameircan military out of Iraq begining by tomorrow? I am sure one of the main poroblems Obama would face would be a strong oposition from republicans and they would bash his administration as never before because of the sudden civilwar which surely would begin in that poor country!
The withdrawing stiaution is much more comlicated than such unfortunatily and I am sure if Obama could decide him self and with out being bounded by military generals and the oposition in both houses he would withdraw them all very soon and would concentrate on the main battle ground:
_______________________________________
1)Barack Obama will responsibly end the war in Iraq: Immediately upon taking office, Obama will give his Secretary of Defense and military commanders a new mission in Iraq: successfully ending the war. The removal of our troops will be responsible and phased.
2)Encourage political accommodation: Obama and Biden will press Iraq's leaders to take responsibility for their future and to substantially spend their oil revenues on their own reconstruction.
3)Increase stability in Iraq and the region: Obama and Biden will launch an aggressive diplomatic effort to reach a comprehensive compact on the stability of Iraq and the region. They also will address Iraq's refugee crisis.
I know! Obama wished it could be possible to stop the occupation of Iraq fast but then later when he was more aware of the complication of the situation he announced it will be between 16-18 mounths and I am sure it will sooner than that because Afghani situation gets more and more hot and the clock is ticking in both Afghanistan and Pakistan as well and it is really getting dangerous in those two countries specially now where all of a sudden Talibanies have been given suvernity in a big part of Pakistan all of a sudden by their odd and very WRONG presidnet!
I am sure the matter of Iraq will be taken cared of soon.......Iran needs to be tamed and they have the main key to the stability in Iraq, and Iraq is not the main battle ground and the main strategy will be changed and security strategies would be the main issue rather than fuel strategy.
Right here and right now the first steps toward changing for real in that direction has been taken and I see huge with drawings of american military from Iraq soon...... Emergency situation in Afghanistan, Pakistan and even in nothern Africa and emergency always changes the situation rapidley. It is like in a hospital you see? When ever there is an emergency docs and nurses will have to stay rather than going home and relax and some patients will have to wait.
Increased military funding requests to promote the "war", troop buildup in Afghanistan, delayed withdrawal from Iraq! Sounds like a peacenik to me??????????
That's not my point, Dude. Before the election we used to debate all the time about how it was madness to withdraw the troops the way Obama proposed, and you insisted it was mandatory. Now that he's changed his tune, so have you. I'm just pointing out that what he is doing is in direct opposition to what he said he would do, and why so many people wanted to elect him.

portraying to be a smart man toranoga, you of all people should realise that a sudden withdrawal will lead to the uprising of terrorism, and instability in that country.......

Even the british papers are making fun of Obmummer.

Once again, Obama can do or say nothing wrong, regardless of what or how he does it. Obama set the timeline, I didn't and I never said we should withdraw immediately, or in 16 months as Obama said during the campaign.
Indyfella: So another way of saying it... Obama lied and soldiers died...Correct?
that should read bush lied so soldiers died........ ok so the soldiers deaths are obamas fault are they indy??
WE SHOULDNT HAVE BEEN IN THERE IN THE FIRST place, and you full well know that.......obama is trying to clean up the mess bush left, while trying to stop a all-out-war within these countries, which will lead to further complications for AMERICA

It's not Bush's war now, it's Obama's. He wanted the job.

MAKE UP YOUR MIND, WHICH DID HE SAY??? IMMMEDIATLEY OR IN 16 MONTHS......by the way i NEVER heard him say he would do it immediatley, he said as soon as it was possible.... that dont mean on the day after inauguration

as soon as possible would be inauguration day...as I see it. damn warmonger.
I can't find it at the moment, but a YouTube clip from last October features Obama promising the non-profit group “Caucus for Priorities” that he would reduce wasteful military spending.
“I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending,” Obama said in the video. “I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems. I will not weaponize space. I will slow our development of future combat systems.”

Read the comma in as it was written. So, just because he said we would withdraw in whatever specific time period(16 months) it is perfectly alright if he extends that period to whenever, so long as he withdraws sometime?

Oh but first, can I have $83.4 billion in additional troop funding????
