Obama's Speech at Woodrow Wilson Center ( Published August 1, 2007 ....revisiting History is useful)
In which he said:
**************************EXCERPT****************************
The first step must be getting off the wrong battlefield in Iraq, and taking the fight to the terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
I introduced a plan in January that would have already started bringing our troops out of Iraq, with a goal of removing all combat brigades by March 31, 2008. If the President continues to veto this plan, then ending this war will be my first priority when I take office.
Thanks Ernest.
