When will Obama pull the troops out of Iraq?

I seem to remember him promising to pull the troops out of Iraq within 18 months of his election to office. How's that coming? How about Gitmo? Has he closed Gitmo yet? Does Obama need another 4 years to get the troops out of Iraq and close Gitmo?

    I think so. I wish he had ended the wars when he had the chance, but maybe there's hope for the next few years.

    He pulled all of the combat troops out early last year. The remaining troops will stay just like they are in many other peaceful countries. US troops are still dying there but in greatly reduced numbers by terrorists.

    Now be fair, he is pulling troops out of Iraq.

    Putting them elsewhere like Afghanistan, FOB near Libya and in Central Africa, but hey, semantics right?

    Perhaps when he can fulfilled the other 1,000,000 things in front of him. Do you mind. Can you wait that long dog? is it alright if he concentrates on the People and find some jobs for them to go to and feed their families or should he follow your lead for now? I believe this man has tried with all his heart to finish doing what he said he would do. But you guys wont let him. And then you complain. I further believe Obama is a man of his word. Example. In a town hall meeting back in 2008. Obama made one of the most controversial and the bravest boldest promises ive ever heard a President or candidate ever make. He said and i quote"I will find Bin Ladin and kill him" .I rest my case.

    He will announce his plan to withdraw all troops, just before Election Day.

    And liberals will cheer and call him the Peace President.

    Source(s): After three years, Obama still has only plans, and no results. And it will be the same after four years. When will people wake up?

    Your president is going to do squat. Be careful what you ask for you might just get it. And boy did you ask for it.

    Clean up will be starting 1/13.

  • Liberals are closet warmongers. Obama has got 5 wars going now and more in the pipe.
