United States and Iraq Agree to a Timetable for Withdrawal

 The United Sates and Iraqi governments have reached an agreement to withdraw all combat troops from Iraq by the end of 2011. Our troops have done a remarkable job in Iraq and finally enough progress has been made so that we can begin to bring troops home.

 We are able to bring the troops home in victory just as many of us believed we always would. While many of the president’s critics claimed that President Bush didn’t have an exit strategy, he did. It is called victory.

 The war is over, we have won. The issue now is security and  2/3 of Iraq has been handed over to Iraqi people. Soon the whole country will be controlled by the Iraqis and when that happens the last of our troops will come home.

President Obama still claims that his timetable, which he  pulled out of his ass, is a better plan than the timetable that the United States and Iraq agreed to based on the conditions on the ground. He still is unwilling to admit that America just might win this war.

 But some of us always knew that our troops wouldn’t be defeated militarily abroad but possibly politically at home. Our faith in our troops is on the verge of being realized, and now is the time to say thank you to all of those who have served in this mission to make us all safer. While our politicians took their eye off the ball, our troops and their commanders never did.

 Thank you.
