The people of the United States have voted on November 4th overwhelmingly to change the policies of our Federal Government.

Documents signed by the current Administration with the Iraq Government will not become concrete obligations of the incoming Administration and Congress.

The credibility of this story and reporter requires the incoming Administration to clearly and publically confirm that it will accept the obligations agreed to. This is not the case.

What about if we let the Iraq people take care of their people "NOW", so they can spend some of their money, I think that by 2012, our jobs, our economy, our homes, schools etc...will be way lost by then...and the war lords with a lot of money!!!

WE need THAT money HERE!!! Period.

Send the Bush team to Iraq Jan21, 2009 with a few pistols and some rations and see if they can clean up their mess.
I sure hope they are good shots.

I am so glad to hear this. We don't want to love more troops or money, however, anyone who is paying attention to reports from other countries in the area better be glad that there will hopefully be some stability in at least one country.

I see Obama supporters still believe he will pull all our troops out of Iraq as soon as he's done taking the oath of office.

Like 90% of those who voted for Obama, they are going end up very disappointed.

After eight years of failure, you naturally adjust your expectations downward. Once, Bush had eighty percent of American's liking him. Today, only 22% approval rating haunt Bush's place in history. Bush's legacy, will be that of America's worst president. This, four years after Rush was touting: the Bush mandate.

I couldn't be a conservative. I hate large government. I wanted America to curtail spreading to balance the budget.

Conservatives act like they are absent of any pride. They are feed one lie after another and they return to hear more lies. This makes conservative seem, well, simple minded.

This veteran won't be anyone's fool.

Whatever floats your boat. You must look at your face in the mirror each morning.

Obama will start a draw down of troops in Iraq. With, our economy in shambles after a neocon feeding frenzy, Obama will have much to clean up. The American public will find having a inherent leader occupying the White House a wonderful change.
