This has to make Barack "Surrender Now!" Obama happy, right?
President Bush announces withdrawal of 30,000 from Iraq
President Bush announces withdrawal of 30,000 from Iraq
PRESIDENT BUSH: We're withdrawing troops. We anticipate the 30,000 surge troops will be coming home by July -- more or less, 30,000. And so the plan is, bring them home based upon success. That's what we expect the British Prime Minister to do. That's what I'm doing -- that as the Iraqis are trained up, as they're taking more responsibility, as the security situations decline, as the economy is improved, as political reconciliation is taking place, we can bring more troops home. That's the whole purpose of the strategy. And so, give the Iraqis more responsibility. Let them take more -- be in more charge of their own security and their own government, and that's what's happening.Hat tip: Gateway Pundit and Ace of Spades HQ
