doing just like he said he wanted to but with something so extensive and important like this I'm sure there will be plenty of delays in getting majority of them out by the end of the year

I'll never be upset with 40K troops coming home.

I'm not mad at all about President Obama bring home all of our troops from a war that we had no business starting in the first place, but my concern is we already have massive unemployment know we will have 40,000 more people looking for work. Not to mention the mental scars that a lot of these troops will have from their tour in Iraq. This is just like Vietnam.

great news. I hope this is the case.
worries about extra unemployment or mental scars isn't a reason not to withdraw the troops. I'm sure you don't think it is either. My next question is, when will he bring the troops in Afghanistan home?

You are right the troops should have been brought home from iraq on march 19, 2003. It's just a shame that they were sent over in a no win situation in the first place and now we have a generation of shell shocked soldiers that their gov't wont have a thing to do with.Last edited by mrveggieman; 10-21-2011 at 02:56 PM.

Fantastic news, but it should have been done sooner...seems more like a campaign move at this point.

I was hoping he would have done this sooner as well. You have the right to call it a campaign move but know one will ever really know. Either way if it happens I could care less what the motivation was. He's talked about bringing the troops home so I won't try to dismiss it as a campaign move. To be honest politicians are campaigning as soon as they get elected these days anyways. I sure hope troops haven't been left there to wait until it's closer to the election when they could have been brought home sooner. He did have a major drawdown a few years ago so this isn't the first time he's removed troops from Iraq. Hopefully there's follow through to this report.

Pretty obvious that it is. Glad they're coming home.
