End of War in Iraq?

Two separate presidents, from two separate parties, have declared combat operations in Iraq to be finished.

When George Bush stood on board USS Abraham Lincoln in 2003 in his leather jacket, and told us "mission accomplished", it was one of the most bizarre moments in the war in Iraq, because clearly the "mission" was far from over.

Now we have President Obama telling us (deja vu anyone?) that combat operations in Iraq are complete, HOWEVER we are leaving in place 50,000 combat troops, along with 100k to 200k private combat mercinaries.

Who believes this stuff? Do you believe it? Does anyone smell something fishy, or is it just me? Is anyone connecting the dots out there?? Hello?

Here's a great video on the subject Matt Gonzales is fantastic, start at the 5:00 mark.
