Oh man, Obama is pulling our troops out of Germany and Japan! I can't believe it! What about South Korea, are we abandoning our bases there too?
I hope we leave S.Korea .I was at 2nd Div Camp Casey my first Asian over seas tour.
Many there dont want us there dont like us . Let them fight their own damn fight. Though I highly doubt N .Korea will make a troop move on DMZ .
The S.Korean army can fight and after all its their country.
Its high time we stop protecting everyone else not to mention we PAY S.Korea so we can keep our bases there .
I wonder if we are there protecting the interest of all the American owned ,invested corps down South like Seoul.
The more over-seas bases we close the better . Granted some soldiers like it over-seas and heard Germany is real pretty.
Yep. It's been interesting watching how people have convinced themselves we're staying in Iraq all because they've been reading other people who've convinced themselves we're staying in Iraq.
The circle of idiocy is difficult to break.

Yes the circle of idiocy of living in lala wishfull thinking land that Dems live in is funny.
And I think he's learning first hand what Bush already found out. And what Presidents before him knew. A clean exit strategy in a war situation is an oxymoron.
Notice the the phrasing of a planned withdrawal he already knew the challenge of. Others didn't and transferred their thoughts to his and put their thoughts into words he didn't use.
Believe it only when you see it . We are not leaving Iraq. They say that now because elections in Iraq are coming up.
They are politicians just like our bunch.
Say one thing get elected than do another
The trick is being allowed to stay until 2011 and not being kicked out sooner. The ****es want us out sooner then later. A lot to still be played out. South Asia is the true Nexus of terror and is now becoming center stage.

My father faught in the Korean war and he shares your sentiments. He says they hate us even after all we have done for that country. It galls him that we are still there and I would bet we will still have some troops in Iraq in 50 years also.

What Obama thought he knew, he can now forget. He is just beginning to get his feet wet in Presidency 101 and I am sure he has had a lot of eye opening lately.
Oh, so since he had a security briefing and now has changed his mind, that's okay. But Bush has been privvy to the security all along and came to the same conclusion that Obama has now come to, based on the intelligence, but it was NOT okay for Bush. I see....
Don't be ridiculous. Obama's plan regarding Iraq is nowhere near Bush's "plan" (like he had one--right). Obama never said that he would immediately draw troops out of Iraq. If I remember correctly, he was hoping for 18 months and then withdrawal.
