UPDATE: Video has now been added and I've changed the post title to reflect that.

President Obama: Our combat mission will end on August 31, 2010.

Oh, and Prez O did the impossible. He connected with his military audience. Imagine, a Democrat doing that and ending combat operations. What Communisty, unAmerican things he's doing.

The president did allow for flexibility, but he was far from reckless.

I'll add video as soon as it becomes available.

UPDATE: Text of speech. Plus, he's getting accolades from all the talking heads on MSNBC, including a tidbit about how the top military guys have a lot of respect for Prez O and his grasp of things.

One more thing: He called Bush prior to the speech.
