	Subject: Iraq Update 8-20-2010 showing Obama as the great liar. 
	  
	            Hey everybody I just wanted to send a quick update and
give Ya'll the REAL story on what's going on over here with the troop
withdrawal. The picture is of my crew and I on a break during a mission. The
guy to the far left is my gunner (Burks) and the guy in the middle is my
driver (Mizell). They go with me on every mission and are great guys. The
reason I'm sending this out is because I have had a few people ask if I left
Iraq early because all of the combat troops are out of Iraq and I wanted to
let everyone know the real deal. It's kind of ridiculous how the news is
saying that the last of the "combat" troops are out of Iraq because of Pres.
Osama ( I mean Obama ). 
	 He says that it was his campaign promise. Take our Brigade for
example. We were originally called a HBCT ( Heavy Brigade Combat Team). Well
since Obama said he would pull all of the "combat" troops out by Aug all
they did before we left was change our name from a HBCT to a  AAB ( Advise
and Assist Brigade ). We have the same personnel/equipment layout as before
and are doing the same missions. The ONLY difference is that they changed
our name from a HBCT to an AAB and that's how he is getting away with saying
that he has pulled all of the "combat" troops out.  It is really ridiculous
what he's doing and he has ticked a lot of people off.   And it's funny how
the media is buying all of it to.   So no the last combat troops are not out
of Iraq; we are still here.   There are other Brigades just like ours that
are doing the same missions that are still over here. Sorry for going on
about it but we are just sitting over here watching it and are like "You've
got to be kidding me!" So anyway now you know the REAL story so that's why
I'm not coming back early.   You have to watch those liberals, they're
sneaky!   Anyway I hope everyone is doing well and I'll see you soon!
