You've been duped once again - how does that make you feel?
You really need to expand your "news" sources to other than the White House propaganda.
From your ABC news link...
These days, though, it's mostly Iraqis, not Americans, on the front lines. For example, at one checkpoint, Iraqi troops could be seen searching vehicles while American soldiers monitored their work via video feeds.
"There's not too much left that we have to do," one soldier said.
How does it feel to be proven wrong over and over... Obama bashing will only get you so far...
Interesting from your link About 4,000 more troops are expected to deploy to Afghanistan by the summer, bringing the total to 98,000.
So 98,000 minus the 34,000 that were there when Obama took office gives us 64,000 troops, a little shy of the 68,000 Powell mentioned.
Heck, here I am claiming Obama has sent 30,000 troops and being told he didn't, and in the attempt to prove he did, we find out that he didn't send only 30,000 troops, he sent 68,000..

And trying to get by on Charisma and charm, is not getting Obama anywhere, most intelligent people, have had his number for a while, and for some ignorance is bliss!
This thread is a perfect example as to why Repulicrats and their voters are to blame for the shape America is in. The country has been going down the wrong path for a time now under both regimes, yet the supporters continue to keep them employed while blaming the "other side" for the problems.
Insanity at its finest. History will be very harsh as this country hasn't learned from past mistakes...
forgot the rest of the table....

2007 Dems in Control / 2009- 10 both Obama and Dems.
Here are some more facts. When Bush was the President we had deficit, but we also had high GDP.

But correct me if I'm wrong (all you Laissez-Faire Capitalist Conservatives feel free to chime in here), isn't the way this is SUPPOSED To work is that you borrow during the dips in the economy and pay back during the booms?
So according to Capitalist Dogma which we shan't ne'er stray from, Obama (the Socialist Devil-Pig) is doing what any true capitalist would do in defecit spending during a crisis, while Bush basically strayed from the ideal in having a spend-fest that somehow doubled our defecit during what we call "good economic times"....
Some here like to throw the term "hypocrisy" around, and yet.... How does this happen under the watch of the Republicans when clearly we should not be running a defecit during an "economic boom"?
Business is borrowing in tough times and pay back at good time- Not government.
Business is producing something, while government produces people's dependency on her. See the difference?

Can you see a difference between small spending, big spending, bigger & biggest?
If McCain was the president, and he would be doing what Obama has been doing, I would be protesting him.
Caprish?

John McCain. LOL. The outrage would be akin to the Tea Party movement.
It is so ironic how Democrats so ignore the HERE AND NOW! Nothing else needs to be said, Ignorance is bliss.
