OOOOO That Smell

Ok I don't want to get things stired up or anything, but things are really begining to smell around here. Not long ago I watched as Obama declared that are troops would be home in sixteen months after he took office. I took his promise with a grain of salt because unless he saw somthing in his magic 8 ball that we don't know about, it would be near impossible to promise something like that. As unstable as things are over there, anything could cause more fighting and set back our efforts. But as I watched the news tonight, I saw that Iraq PM Maiki is asking for the US to be out by 2010. Did the superstar Obama have anything to do with the decision the Iraqis made ? What caused them to announce this now ? Why set the date for 2010 ? Could there be any deals that were made behind closed doors that we should know about ? It is hard to believe that a 3 year Senator, who never even authored a noteworthy, or life changing piece of legislation, can sit with these people and negotiate anything without having something to offer them that they cannot get from the Republicans. Things are looking too shiny and bright over at the democrats side. I hope I am not the only one who smells it, but something really stinks over there
