SocraticGadfly: Another Obama-Iraq withdrawal loophole

Another Obama-Iraq withdrawal loophole

Hat tip to Juan Cole’s Salon column for this one.

Even if Obama does, in fact, withdraw all troops by the end of 2011…

“Troops” doesn’t include Air Force or Navy personnel, just Army and Marines.

Especially in the case of the Air Force, remember, we’ve got bases all around the world… and in a lot of spots in southern Asia.

So, per your bit of insight, Juan, disregarding your broad-mindedness, I’ll remain skeptical for now.

Will Obama get ALL troops out of Iraq by the end of 2011?
Yes No
