Obama said he will pull the troops out.

Presidential candidate Obama said, "I made clear my support for a timeline of sixteen months to carry out this draw-down,......Those consultations are now complete, and I have chosen a timeline that will REMOVE our combat brigades over the next eighteen months." He added, "We will retain a transitional force to carry out three distinct functions: training, equipping and advising Iraqi Security Forces as long as they REMAIN NON-SECTARIAN".
"it (the war) was based on a 'pack of lies', that it was an 'illegal' war of aggression, and oil grab, and has zero legitimacy such that the US has no right to be there at all"
When asked about Bush's actions in Iraq, "He is bound to the same FAILED course that we have seen for the last several years".

You know, what you say or promises on the ‘Campaign trail’ changes really, really fast after you take the Presidential Oath of Office. Then reality hits you in the face.
