As far as I'm concerned, the war will be over when there are no longer any US troops in that country. If you disagree with that logic, then I ask you to apply the same logic when determining wars between other countries. For example, how would you feel if Russia said their war with Georgia was over even if they still had a dozen military bases inside of Georgia? It is simply BS.
Who said all troops would be removed???

They said this the same way they said Osama bin Laden was behind the 9/11 attacks, and the same way they said that Saddam Hussein had ties to al-Queda. They carefully watch their wording, and without ever making a single concrete statement, they clearly imply it. Then they can go back at a later date and claim they never actually said it. I think they teach that in Politician Class 101.

Exactly. However I'm sure Obama and the dems will attempt to say "we ended the war in Iraq" and it was only implied if you're a moron But then again, the masses did vote for change boy, so maybe they do believe that
