We were ordered out just to go to Afghanastan instead. The last time they ordered 50,000 out they sent 200,000 some where else 2 months later. This doesn't mean anything, except for numbers in the election polls for him.
Yeah, you're right. It's a political ploy by Obama.
Oh wait:
"1. All the United States Forces shall withdraw from all Iraqi territory no later than
December 31, 2011."
This was in the 2008 Status of Forces Agreement between Iraq and the U.S. which took effect January 1, 2009. When did Obama take office again?
