"WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama told Americans on Monday that he is on track to fulfill his campaign promise of ending the war in Iraq as he marked a milestone in winding down major combat operations there this month."

All he's done is manage NOT to screw up Bush's Iraq withdraw plan. These freaking leftist have some nerve and NO FREAKING shame. Lies flow with such ease.........
