Reply #9: Once again I figured it was an estimate.

Again, the information that he has when he's a Senator and the information that he has when he's a President can be two different things. What he is privy too is not what we are. So I figured it was an estimate.

Second of all...you're yelling bring them home NOW. But the problem is, Pakistan was jumped ship very early on and we left them a disaster and helped along some seriously fucked up blowback. WE need to make this as easy a transition that the fool Bushed us into. This was probably outside of his control and he didn't want to risk any more things than possible. IN any event he's getting rid of everyone or 95% if any out by 2011...and yeah it would be an 8 year war. But it was an 8 year he didn't put us in, and has been trying to get us out. McCain would have keeped our ass in it.

Third thing is that if he was President we would NEVER have been in Iraq. Give the man a break. Or I'm giving him the best I can because I know how difficult this must be and I know there is only so much information that I KNOW. That being said, I still don't know what Rachel is hounding about because we could be stuck for 23 months rather than a 2-3 month extention...it could have been another 7 months.
