Meet the new boss, etc.

What does President Obama plan for American military presence in Iraq? According to Solomonia, well, pretty much the same thing President Bush did.

From the new Whitehouse.gov:

...Under the Obama-Biden plan, a residual force will remain in Iraq and in the region to conduct targeted counter-terrorism missions against al Qaeda in Iraq and protect American diplomatic and civilian personnel. They will not build permanent bases in Iraq, but will continue efforts to train and support the Iraqi security forces as long as Iraqi leaders move toward political reconciliation and away from sectarianism...

So we'll continue to be there as long as "necessary," and Americans will continue to die there, but our commitment will be small. So we're going to keep a minimal, light, low-footprint, force there. Does that sound familiar? I thought that was the big problem over the past few years. ...

Obama is now continuing the Bush policy... .

And so Barack Obama's rehabilitation of George W. Bush continues. And this, too: "Obama Sides With Bush in Spy Case."
