From Now on, maybe when Kos diaries post something, they should wait a day or two for verification. Yesterday, on the rec list someone had up a diary that said that Obama is not keeping his promise on withdrawing troops from Iraq! Now, I just knew this was BS, because, every news organization had not picked up on it! This was probably a LEAK(again) from some conservative congressman, trying to make things difficult and stir the pot(No way, really)! Anyways, with all the brass in town recently, we got the REAL scoop on Iraq, and it is on sched. for the end of August! To be down to 50k, and the SOFA agreement is on sched too, out of iraq by the end of 11! Sorry haters, you are wrong, again!
Join me over the jump for the article:
And the POTUS also said that he will begin withdrawing troops from Afghanistan in july of 2011. He means it, so chill.
If some on the left would stop trying to swiftboat him and work with him, maybe all this noise would settle down and people would start to hear our concerns in a civil manner. Those concerns are NOT fiscally and culturally related, like the noise on the right wants every American to believe. The right noise machine is making it difficult to get the left message out. The fiscal woes will take care of themselves when the economy improves.
Thus, we have accomplished alot this past year, but the right is winning the pr war, making the dems out to be the GODFATHER and the poor poor republicans and tea baggers, blah, blah, blah!
As such, we need to come together and not fly off the handle every time some of you see things you don't agree with. You see, it is the righties who is turning us against each other, with all these old washington style games. And some of you fall right into that bag.
So, just beware, when you publically abuse the POTUS or any dem. you are carrying the rights water. Talk amongst your friends if you got a beef, or wait a day or two, but this bashing is only self destructive.

Update: Last night at a fundraiser, POTUS said after the republicans drove us into the ditch, now they want the keys back. He said, NO! You can't drive!!! LOL!
