Didn't BO give a "Hell or high water" guarantee that we would be out of Iraq six months after he was sworn in?
Why should we expect Afghanistan to be any different?
Ummm, no.
Quote:
President Obama said Friday he plans to withdraw most U.S. troops from Iraq by the end of August 2010.
Between 35,000 to 50,000 troops will remain in Iraq, he said. They would be withdrawn gradually until all U.S. forces are out of Iraq by December 31, 2011 -- the deadline set under an agreement the Bush administration signed with the Iraqi government last year.
Once again, Biden and 0bama don't seem to be on the same page. Biden is quite the insurance plan for 0bama, as his successor.
WASHINGTON -- Despite uneven progress in Afghanistan, Vice President Joe Biden said next summer's planned withdrawal would be more than a token reduction and that the U.S. would be out of the country by 2014 "come hell or high water."
Biden's prediction appeared to go further than statements by his boss, President Barack Obama, who just last month said there would be a reduced U.S. footprint in Afghanistan by 2014 but that the number of troops that would remain was still in question.
As recently as Dec. 16, Obama said the U.S. and its NATO allies would have an enduring presence there after 2014
I'd just as soon see the Biden version would come true, since the Afghan president is such a crook. But then I think of the people who will be left to the tender mercy of which ever tyrant can be the most brutal.
Why 2014 instead of now? They are talking about withdrawing from Iraq, which they did, and they send the troops in Afgan. So where are they planning their attack this time?
War is a very profitable business, and the lobbyist will not let it stop until the people's wealth has been suck dry.
