Yes, 50,000 will remain in a non-combat capacity, and no one is forgetting them. However, can’t we rejoice for the others? I’m watching them cross the border into Kuwait, and it’s wonderful.
That's not accurate. Obama gets 100% of credit for getting them home in August 2010, not getting them home. The Status of Forces Agreement, signed by George W. Bush, had the troops scheduled to come home in 2011.
It's splitting hairs to suggest that Barack Obama is responsible for the troops leaving Iraq.
Well it's NOT splitting hairs to say that George Bush Jr. lied to the American people when he announced in 2003 "Mission Accomplished".
Bush Jr. said he got the job done. Obama actuallly executed.

That's not accurate. Actually, it's a gross misrepresentation of the facts. The "Mission Accomplished" event that the lefties love to hate was actually a declaration of the end of conventional warfare; ie. shock and awe. The invasion had been executed as planned with the President spoke on the aircraft carrier. That was the intent of the speech, and it wasn't a lie. Shock and awe and any derivation of it was overwith. The ensuing insurgency was what did not end. Bush did not declare that the insurgency was overwith. Unfortunately, the media likes to construe the moment as a outright declaration that the war was over. That's not accurate, and as we can see from your comment, the media is very successful in its anti-war, anti-Bush propoganda.
Obama didn't execute anything other than voting against the war and accelerating the drawdown date. That's it.
