WOOHOO august 2010

What I’ve been waiting to hear for two years now, has finally been said! Obama stated, “"And so I want to be very clear: We sent our troops to Iraq to do away with Saddam Hussein's regime — and you got the job done," the president said. "We kept our troops in Iraq to help establish a sovereign government — and you got the job done. And we will leave the Iraqi people with a hard-earned opportunity to live a better life — that is your achievement; that is the prospect that you have made possible." Obama could have not stated that(in my opinion) more perfectly! Our troops have done so much for our country in Iraq and for them to have help establish a sovereign government what else could we leave them there for? If Iraq wants to destroy their own country then let them! There is only so much one can do to help, the rest is up to you… or in this case the rest is up to them, to better themselves. Obama also stated he would be leaving approximately 50,000 troops in Iraq to retain order. Although that may sound like a good plan, I disagree. If Iraq decides to conduct a terror attack on the U.S. how are the troops in Iraq going to stop that? Our soldiers walking down there streets to make sure there is “order” won’t protect us in the states any greater then them being here. What our troops have done for our country is more then we could have asked for!
