If a picture is worth a thousand words, then how pricey are these videos?  Sometimes a politician is just a politician.  People forget what they were once promised or heard, but in the internet age all you have to do is google it and pow, you have a media library at your fingertips that once were only available to media giants.  Simply amazing.

Since the NY Times article came out, I kept thinking about what Obama originally promised and where we are today with those promises.  I have posted 3 videos from youtube below.

Obama on removing our troops from Iraq immediately

Obama on troop withdrawl from Iraq completed  in 2009

Obama on troop withdrawal from Iraq: 1-2 brigades a month

Let me do the math here for us.  7 months times 2 brigades equals 14 brigades total.  Let’s see,  0 brigades  brought home subtracted from 14 brigades….

All kidding aside, I do hope we bring the troops home sooner than later.  In that last video, President Obama said all our troops will be removed in 16 months.  He has already broken that promise and said will probably leave about 50,000 troops.
