Iraq "End Date"?

Fraudbama strikes again. He gets his lapdog media to report that "Obama sets Aug. 2010 as Iraq end date." Wow! Our troops will be out of Iraq in a year and a half. Joyous day!

Oh wait, no they won't.

Even with the drawdown, a sizable U.S. force of 35,000 to 50,000 U.S. troops will stay in Iraq under a new mission of training, civilian protection and counterterrorism.

And this is only possible thanks to the belated surge, belated in that Bush should have kept up much more pressure early to keep Iraq stabilized after the successful toppling of Hussein.
