President Obama drawing down Iraq troops from 48,000 to 3,000 by year's end. Major development. I like it.

Major development? I think not. Perfect timing for the election season.

I look forward to hearing about his plan for troop reduction in Afghanistan.

I don't think it helps him or hurts him. His base is all ready pissed it has taken so long and the others knew it would not be done over night.

I think you're probably right. Bush already had a deal in place to withdraw all troops by end of 2011 (conditions based), Obama is drawing down all but 3K.
