When we voted for a Democrat this is the day we hoped for: A set date for troops to be withdrawn from Iraq. Iraq has proven to be a public relations nightmare for the United States, now President Obama has given a set date for troop withdrawl from the country:
August 31, 2010.
Although he plans on leaving 30,000-50,000 residual troops in the area until 2011, he has gained a lot of support in Congress (even though some democratic leaders are hesitant). Even John McCain backs the new plan to pull troops out by 8-31-10.
So, does this really mean the end of the war in Iraq? Well, I (personally) hope so!
