Here's just a little of the article. Looks Obama probably won't be pulling out troops on schedule. Loving this "change." What are Democrats or "Liberals" actually getting out of Obama?




US combat troops may stay in northern Iraq after a deadline for them to pull back by the end of June has passed, the top US commander in the area has said.

Col Gary Volesky said his soldiers would stay in Mosul and other nearby cities where al-Qaeda remained a threat if the Iraqi government asked them to.

US and Iraqi officials describe Mosul as al-Qaeda in Iraq’s last major urban stronghold in the country.
Barack Obama has said he wants all US troops out of Iraq by the end of 2011.


“If the Iraqi government wants us to stay we will stay,” said Col Volesky in a teleconference with journalists.

Please close this thread, move your post over to the general politics thread and stop trying to stir up an argument between conservatives and liberals. It really doesn't do anything but lead to insult wars. If you would like to have a real debate about this then either take out the parts where you call out "liberals" in a condescending matter or, like I said before, move this to the general politics thread.

If your intention was in fact to stir up an argument, I hope everyone realizes that and doesn't give this thread the time of day.
