"Troops WILL start coming home in July 2011. Period. It's etched in stone."

By GottaLaff

Period. End of sentence. No two ways about it. Done deal. For suresies. And that's final:

Chip Reid asked White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs if senators were correct calling the July 2011 date for beginning to withdrawal troops from Afghanistan a "target," meaning there was some wiggle room.

Writes Reid: "After the briefing, Gibbs went to the president for clarification. Gibbs then called me to his office to relate what the president said. The president told him it IS locked in -- there is no flexibility. Troops WILL start coming home in July 2011. Period. It's etched in stone. Gibbs said he even had the chisel."

And throw away the key, er, etcher. So there.

Happy Veteran’s Day

I've got to take care of a couple things, so consider this an Open Thread. I expect lots of good links to interesting stories in the comments when I get done.
