U.S. Starts To Switch Force
To Diplomacy!
Long Awaited Iraqi WITHDRAWAL Beginning!
Will troops all be gone as fast as Obama Stated
?
Or will the last ones not leave until December 201
1?
Will the first trickle become slow and steady or a Flood?
It depends on what president elect Obama decides to Do!
Sooner they get out of Iraq the sooner a final war can Begin!

Begin Excerpt from DEBKAfile
Mullen: The US army has begun practicing traveling out of Iraq and into Afghanistan
November 19, 2008, 1:06 AM (GMT+02:00)
Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in an interview to AP that the exit routes practiced through Turkey and Jordan would determine “what the challenges might be.” Both governments support the effort.
DEBKAfile’s military sources report that the US army chief’s statement marks the beginning of
the American withdrawal from Iraq. While he is still following the orders of President Bush, Mullen said he was clearly aware of president-elect Barack Obama’s plan to withdraw the US army from Iraq in 16 months.
This development is a negative augur for Israel’s strategic situation; after Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, the door is open for Iran to take control of another Arab nation in its vicinity. The Israel military has made no preparations for the encroaching Iranian presence.
