I wonder why he didn’t mention some of the progress we’ve made. Like the fact that, in a few short weeks, four of the most pivotal planners of the 9/11 attacks will be on trial in New York City, just like any other US citizen criminal? Great work, military! We’re going to bring these people to justice!

“Today, after extraordinary costs, we are bringing the Iraq war to a responsible end. We will remove our combat brigades from Iraq by the end of next summer, and all of our troops by the end of 2011. That we are doing so is a testament to the character of our men and women in uniform. Thanks to their courage, grit and perseverance , we have given Iraqis a chance to shape their future, and we are successfully leaving Iraq to its people.”
