Obama's first bad appointment...

Bush got us into the war and has negotiated a departure. If Obama wants to bring them home in January he can do so, and then he would have actually done something for which he can either be credited for blamed.

As it stands, I see the most likely right scenario right now is US troop withdrawals in '10 or '11 and victory being credited to Obama by the lapdog media.
