They cannot call them combat troops because then Obam would not have full filled his promise to have the troops out of Iraq. Not sure why they are worried about that now after all the other promises he has broken.

President Obama drawing down Iraq troops from 48,000 to 3,000 by year's end. Major development. I like it.

I'm pretty sure GOP candidates and pundits will make hay of this and kick up some dust, but I think it's the right move for the country.

"I am kind of preterbed about the headline of the article. There are still 56,000 troops over there. Saying that the last combat convoy has left Iraq does not sit well with me. All soldiers are combatants and all combatants are still armed. Those soldiers will still travel in convoys carring a basic load. We still have a presence there and to say that it is over is disrespectfull to those who are still there."
Well said Angry. Every soldier is an American Fighter!

Major development? I think not. Perfect timing for the election season.

I don't think it helps him or hurts him. His base is all ready pissed it has taken so long and the others knew it would not be done over night.
