QOTD: What do you think about Obama's Iraq plan?

As many of you may already know, President Obama announced over the weekend that he will withdraw American troops by August 2010.

While he is largely keeping his campaign promise to get out of Iraq, Obama says he will leave behind 50,000 troops to advise and train Iraqi security forces and to protect U.S. interests.

Now, while Republicans like John McCain applaud this plan, Democrats like Nancy Pelosi are ticked. Some liberals see this as Obama trying to have it both ways and are angry.

Question: Do you think leaving behind 50,000 troops in Iraq is the responsible thing to do, or do you see it as Obama back-paddling on his promise?
