Obama touched down in Iraq unannounced today, and said the words some Americans have been waiting 10 years to hear, ""It is time for us to transition to the Iraquis. They need to take responsibility for their country."
This is a huge departure from Bush's, "We'll stay until the job is done," line of rhetoric. However, it's not surprising. Nixon did the same thing in Viet Nam after taking the reigns of the presidency from Linden B. Johnson. However, it's a welcome relief to many of our troops who have been fighting over seas for longer and longer tours.
The big question is, when they get home, will they have a job outside of the military?
