Except that Congress (with a Democrat majority) provided no money for the Gitmo closure and the earliest that Gitmo will close will be 2011. The ultimate drawdown of troops in Iraq is an open question, and Obama doubled down on Afghanistan by sending a troop surge. Those three items aren’t exactly ones that Obama will find favor with among the Left, not when he promised to close Gitmo by the end of 2009.
