Obama announces troops coming home from Iraq.
The boys and girls are coming home by the end of the year. The announcement I heard was "combat troops" so their will likely be a bunch of advisors still there. But damn, I am sure hopeful that this misadventure is finally over.

No advisors left behind, they are all coming home.

Maybe I am getting cynical but I so don't believe that!

And the cynic in me can't help but wonder about the timing of this...

It may still be brinkmanship. There's no fat lady yet, but perhaps close.
