The US and Iraq

CNN: Reports that President Obama will states today that the US will only have fifty thousand troops in Iraq by the end of this month. Lets hope President Obama has to grace to thank Bush 43 and his move for a military surge that was opposed by Senator Obama and then Candidate Obama. That Iraq is more at peace is more down to Bush 43 than to President Obama and the Democrats, if they Democrats had been in power they would have allowed Iraq to fall in to Civil War. If the process goes on at its present rate the US should be out of Iraq by December of 2011, then it will be up to Iraq to find their own way, peace or civil war. The US in simple terms can not afford Iraq any more, the US debt is in the trillions and Afghanistan will be a sore for years if not decades. Lets hope Iraq takes the right course, its between secular freedom or religious rule with the help of Iran.
