Obama announces the End of World War II

Well he has announced the end of the Iraqi War, and that end is due in 2011. In reality we will have withdrawn all troops from Iraq before the end of 2011. So that's when the Iraq war ends?

Based on that logic, he should pull all American troops out of Germany. Finally World War II, the seventy years of bloodshed, well mostly peace but lots of bloodshed at the beginning, will be at an end. The 50 year Korean War could finally be wound down by pulling US troops out of that country.

Evidently it's the withdrawal of troops that ends a war, not any of that "fighting battles" stuff we used to hear about. Based on Obama's latest announcements on our pullout, and the non-announcement that we are following Bush's plans to the letter, the media will be reporting that Obama plans to end the war in 2011.

The war in Iraq has been over for awhile. Granted it was declared over once before, when Baghdad fell. That was wrong. That was also then. This is now and the War has been over and it was won while Bush was calling the shots.

But why ruin fawning headlines with reality. Hey while you are at it Obama, why not get those nasty Normans off the British Isles, and bring that war to an end?! That Battle of Hastings is closing in on 950 years.
