I research this information and discovered that it is TRUE! Please carefully read the article below. Apparently, it's more of the same. Boy, have all of you Obama supporters been fooled. More lies! Isn't this what you premised your campaign on: opposition to the Iraq war? Apparently, you NOW approve it!!!

BAGHDAD (AP) - Vice President-elect Joe Biden told Iraqi leaders Tuesday that the incoming U.S. administration is committed to a responsible troop withdrawal that does not endanger improvements in security, an Iraqi spokesman said.
Biden delivered the message in talks with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki on the second day of his visit to Iraq, government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh told The Associated Press.
President-elect Barack Obama PLEDGED during his election campaign to withdraw all American combat troops from Iraq within 16 MONTHS of taking office and shift the focus to Afghanistan to combat a resurgent Taliban and al-Qaida-linked militants.
Since the November election, however, the U.S. and Iraq have signed a NEW SECURITY AGREEMENT that provides for all the more than 140,000 U.S. troops to LEAVE by 2012, despite concerns among senior U.S. commanders that Iraqi forces might not be ready by then to ensure stability.
Biden, a Democrat from Delaware who has been a frequent visitor to Iraq as a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the agreement sets out a new strategy between Iraq and America, according to al-Dabbagh.
"He said that Obama is committed to withdraw but he wants the withdrawal to be a responsible one. Obama does not want to waste the security gains that have been achieved," al-Dabbagh said.
Biden GAVE assurances that the new administration WILL STICK to the timetable in the AGREEMENT, Al-Dabbagh said.
Since the election, Obama, who is to take office on Jan. 20, has said he is committed to bringing the troops home but has pledged to consult with U.S. commanders, who caution against removing U.S. forces too quickly.
