Yes we can:
BAGHDAD, April 7 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama, visiting U.S. troops in Iraq, told them on Tuesday that the next 18 months would be critical for their mission in the country.
"This is going to be a critical period, these next 18 months," Obama said, referring to the Aug 2010 deadline for the withdrawal of all U.S. combat troops from Iraq.
"You will be critical in terms of us being able to make sure Iraq is stable, that it is not a safe haven for terrorists, and we can start bringing our folks home," Obama told troops at Camp Victory, the sprawling U.S. military base on the outskirts of Baghdad.
You see the change? You see it? Bush wanted to stay until Iraq was stable and not a haven for terrorists. But Obama knows it's more than that; he knows we must make sure Iraq is stable, and that it is not a safe haven for terrorists.
Change!
