Rhetorical Case Study- Troops in Iraq # 2

I expect my case to factor into the next presidency of four years because Obama, once inaugurated, is going to immediately start having to make foreign policy to establish his credibility and authority in international matters. In his campaign, he adamantly was against the war in Iraq, and made a speech, which I used as a source in which he promised to bring them home as soon as he is in office. He is going to have to hold true to his word, but we know that never happens in politics. Even if he immediately pulls the troops out of Iraq the day he becomes president, he will still have a lot of cleaning up to do over there, some smoothing things over, and some compromises to reach with the country itself. I predict that he will be strongly advised and shown that pulling the troops out would be disastrous, and although he didn't get into this mess, he is the one who will have to make the wise decisions to et the US out of it. i expect it will be a very intense and debated subject within the next 4 years.

Rachel,

You don't have a new blog about our Palin speech so I have to comment on this one. You missed a lot on Thursday and we are thinking about replacing you with a new enforcer. Not really, but we missed you. Anyways, we have some really good ideas for our speech, so read the "minutes" that Alle sent that talks about them. We're going to put our draft together on Monday so make sure you come with some ideas written for the closing remarks in the speech.
