Default Obama to keep 50,000 troops in Iraq -- breaks another campaign promise

I hate to say I told you all so, but no president, regardless of who won, was going to do anything different. This was always going to happen like this.

This whole Iraq thing has been about two things..
1. the oil
2. strategic base in this area
