Hmmmm. Now who is more likely to do that.
One says 6 months, one says 100 years. You do the math.

The bucket known as the U.S. has a gigantic hole in it. The ideas you have are like putting a lid on it to stop the evaporation, sure it helps, but it's not going to hold water until you plug the gigantic hole known as the Iraq occupation.
I highly doubt Obama will start even a sizeable withdrawal from Iraq, let alone completely end the whole thing. And if he did, it'd still be several years before it was over and it's not like whatever money we spend in Iraq won't be spent elsewhere. Wherever troops are, it costs a LOT of $$ to support them. And I fail to see how any of that would make a difference to our economy. The gov't. will still spend every single penny it can, just on different stuff.
