Over 100,000 troops that have already been removed from Iraq in the past 2 years by this President, with battle troops gone first. That's a good thing, and Obama deserves credit for what he has done.

I agree 47,000 is still significant, obviously, right now they are all scheduled to come home with the exception of 5,000 or less advisors and trainers remaining. We'll have to see if pressure from Iraq to have a significant number of them remain works.
