YOu probably are not aware of the meaning of "rules of engagement". Even UN peacekeepers have rules of engagement if they are fired upon. un.org Your post clearly stated that the troops left behind are trained for combat. The rules of combat have changed. I did not see anywhere in your post that "Obama lied." We all know that the 50,000 troops left behind are from the original deployment but witha different mission. They are under Iraqi command and control. Now stop your nonsense of ranting on this thread and doing it in a way that does not jive with what you post.

"By the end of this month, we'll have brought more than 90,000 of our troops home from Iraq since I took office - more than 90,000." A transitional force of 50,000 soldiers will remain to train Iraqi security forces, conduct counterterrorism operations and provide security for ongoing US civilian efforts, Mr Obama said ....contd at news.sky.com
