US out of Iraq

Barack Obama sat down with the Iraqi prime minister and talked about how there will be no more United States troops in Iraq by December 31. I have a feeling that this is not the end for US involvement in the affairs of Iraq because really the country is just a big powder keg poised to blow at any moment.

This is interesting in and of itself but it also marks some changes in the Obama strategy. Obama is getting into campaign mode as the election draws nearer and he's trying to put certain things into place as well as highlight his major accomplishments and just other stuff he did. In this way it is easy to give him credit but still hard to praise him. Especially for "ending the war". Because he really just stuck to George Bush's timeline so it's like, ok, good, you did George Bush's thing.
