Iraq War to end within 18 months

Elections have consequences.

When we let buffoons like Bush in the White House, we get poorly planned wars. Now that America has elected Obama to replace him, the end of the Iraq War that Bush started is finally in sight.

I have no doubt that with a John McCain or a Hillary Clinton, the war would still be going on during the next election.

President Obama is now set to order all American combat troops out of Iraq within 18 months - a process he has already begun. I'd like to see an immediate withdrawal, but considering Bush's poor execution of this war, that hasn't seemed likely.

The war is 6 years and counting, and it really is long past time to start wrapping things up. That night in 2003 when it started was long, and it's been a long and costly war.
