2008, when the shoe thrown at him announcement of the security agreement with the iraqi government to bring troops home at the end of 2011. the day had to come. i'm glad the day was able to come and president obama gave a speech where he could thank the troops who also made this possible, who deserve all of the credit for making it possible. >> do you think he should have said more about president bush? >> it would have been gracious of him if he mentioned the surge but the problem he has, for president obama to put president bush i iraq and anything good in the same sentence, the democrat base, which doesn't want to show up in november, so -- i wish he was more gracious but it but he's his own democratic comparative and he followed those tonight. >> paul, what do you think about the speech? >> first, he was trying to do three different things say we're going withdraw from iraq, surge into afghanistan, but withdraw from there, too, and i want to pick up on the point about the surge because it is staggering to me.
