If you wish to believe That the Obama administration is as honest as the day is long go ahead.

Interesting, but of no concern. I know that both Obama and McCain voted for the Patriot Act, which I deeply disapprove of. I'm just saying that when these unconstitutional motions are named as such, it makes it difficult for our politicians to go against them. My ideal candidate was Dr. Paul for reference.

You disregarded the meat of my comment, though, which was that we should withhold judgment on troop withdrawal until the date he outlined. Hell, give the man a flippin' year or two in office to do something. His expectations are high but we have to be reasonable when looking at a mess that was many years in the making.
