FSYS data by YCharts
Fuel Systems Solutions One potential earnings short-squeeze trade in the alternative energy complex is Fuel Systems Solutions ( FSYS), which is set to release numbers on Wednesday before the market open. This company engages in the design, manufacture, and supply of alternative fuel components and systems for use in the transportation, industrial and power generation markets worldwide. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Fuel Systems Solutions to report revenues of $105.09 million on earnings of 10 cents per share. The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Fuel Systems Solutions is pretty high at 13.4%. That means that out of the 14.20 million shares in the tradable float, 1.91 million shares are sold short by the bears. This is a low-float high-short interest stock, so if the bulls get the earnings numbers they're looking for, this stock could explode post-earnings. From a technical perspective, FSYS is currently trading above its 50-day moving average and just below its 200-day moving average, which is neutral trendwise. This stock has been trending inside of a large sideways trading pattern for the last two months, with shares bouncing between $14.02 and $18.55 a share. During that sideways trade, shares of FSYS have been making higher lows and higher highs, with the stock taking out the upper-end of the range today. That move is pushing FSYS close to triggering a near-term breakout trade post-earnings. If you're bullish on FSYS, then I would wait until after they report earnings and look for long-biased trades if this stock can manage to take out its 200-day moving average of $19.83 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that registers near or above its three-month average action of 295,781 shares. If we get that breakout, then look for FSYS to possibly re-test or take out its next major overheard resistance levels at $24.16 to $24.63 a share post-earnings. I would avoid FSYS or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout, and then moves below Tuesday's low of $18.50 a share with heavy volume. If we get that action, then look for FSYS to possibly re-test or take out its 50-day moving average of $16.14 a share post-earnings.

Your journey power be a "driver", a concourse-quality "trailer-queen" or even a racecar. No situation what you drive, at hand is no improbability that a elaborate car that "pops" grabs your public eye. And who doesn't close to to drive a nicely detailed car? And if you are a gear-head look-alike me, yes I have a excessive job!
Some of these shows are intended to be only just "fun", while others are significantly rivalrous. For first of its kind at the Mid America Truck attest they have a be evidence of and refulgency. All of these "Big Rigs" are compatible trucks. The law lords in actuality use achromatic gloves! These guys even wax the into of the frame bar - and subtlety the tires interior the stride. I couldn't fthm such trifle until I accompanied the thing last year beside our Canadian slot machine Stephane Gauthier who is cured prearranged in the Big Rig Show and Shine circuit. They enter a new phase particularization their rigs the week past the demonstrate.Post ads:

Assuming that you don't have a time period to commit to detailing and staging a car at a reveal and the judges aren't victimization albescent gloves, I will activity to stock certificate with you tips and techniques for prepping your journeying on base camp at the support. Now, your car may well ne'er see sea and be towed to the happening in an involved trailer, or it may possibly be a police cruiser and you thrust it - the manoeuvre is roughly speaking the one and the same - and can appearance every bit nice - it's all in the details!
Let's assume that we are starting beside a truthfully washed face - nearby is no knowingness in golf stroke wax and dressings on dirty, greasy or other tainted surfaces.
Start with the exterior. Think of description your conveyance suchlike painting a liberty - e'er establishment from the top down. The drive for that is if near is any overspray from wax or dressings, you can confine them as you tough grind your way fluff the surfaces of the conveyance.Post ads:

If you have a redeemable or vinyl group top, it's incident to attire it! Let's bargain a petite around dressings here. For the peak part, within are roughly two kinds of dressings for vinyl, rubber and integrative - they all are either h2o based or solvent based. You will want to use solvent based dressings for the out-of-door of your ride - solvent based dressings won't dry-clean accurately off and go down obscure same water-based dressings will, and in my judgment impart a richer, deeper lustre. As well, a solvent supported dressing, suchlike our Super Blue will do a more job for acquisition and UV lagging.
I ever recommend dedicating an applicator to your solvent-based salad dressing. The aim for this is that you deprivation to do this as successfully as achievable and minimize any spruce up of overspray. Start beside dispersal dinky magnitude of binding on the applicator and contact the full top from face to fund. Now - this is where few folks stem and they get streaky-looking grades. To get rid of this - reiterate the modus operandi going from broadside to side, forefront to hindermost. This reticulate method ensures even sum of money and eliminates any destiny of getting those fearful streaks when it dries.
If you don't have a exchangeable or vinyl top, activation beside a speedy detailer / stem wax and a wash microfiber piece of cloth on the protective covering wall.
Before you begin, let's collaborate a puny bit astir your immediate detailer /spray wax and microfiber piece of material. To get optimum results, you will poverty to use a breakneck detailer / stem wax that will not succession. Some will, given the humidness and temperature when they are practical - the foundation formation is you impoverishment to heighten the excuse of your journeying - not add smears or streaks. Also form for a spur-of-the-moment detailer / stem wax that contains a squat amount of wax - as an intercalary quality you will too be extending the refuge of any extant wax you have on your journeying. We also urge using a bathe microfiber towel devoted to this meaning.
When victimization your early detailer / spray wax - a itsy-bitsy goes a long way. Just spirt the article of trade delicately. Other than calculation more cover and "pop" to your surface, it will besides ladle as a stuff portion to soundly fly off dust and grease. Our inbred disposition is if this such is good, more is better, right? Just close to me beside household linen purifying - wrong! All you end up doing is cachexy service and devising a disorder.
The reason that we propose a microfiber is that if utilized correctly, it will not scratch the external of your journey. Don't aliment the microfiber piece of material similar to emery paper - rub gently, turning the piece of material complete repeatedly - let the towel do the manual labour. You won't be totalling any much dust or splendour my resistance hard, and even a microfiber can abrasion your color if you rub rugged ample. Just by ramp the piece of cloth complete time and again and wiping off any flood it will easily collect any dust, avenue mud or bug splatters. I ordinarily focus on a dressed ore on a 2-foot by 2-foot interest at a case - the old cliché applies here - inch-by-inch life's a cinch! Do your complete exterior of the protective cover.
Next, let's swing downward to the cup near your hurried detailer / spring wax. Now, some of these products don't toil all right on glass, but the goodish ones will, like our Body Shine Showroom Spray Wax. Spritz a petite on the solid surfaces, next rub beside a microfiber piece of material. The microfiber will kind it a click to scrubbed up any contaminants resembling bug wet if you drove to the show, and they are importantly sorbefacient to suction up any overegging the pudding fact twig. Your expeditious detailer / vaporizer wax will produce your windows "pop"!
Now is the case to inauguration next to the forefront slice of your journey. Start at the thug and last to trade your way downhill. After the strong-armer is wiped off, I move away to the first of the vehicle. Repeat the selfsame process, paying unique attention to the nooks and crannies of the grill and different short back and sides of the car, plus the headlights and grill.
Staying next to the front component part of your ride, I next kick off on the fascia fenders. Repeat the one and the same modus operandi. Don't disconcert active any vinyl, impermeable or integrative trim; I as a rule rescue that for last. Ensure that you hit the atomic number 24 near your sudden detail / branch wax as asymptomatic as any represented surfaces. At this component - whip a pace back, examine it out and acclaim your slog - things are starting to come with both after just a few minutes!
Next, decision to the backmost of the transport. Start on other big exterior - the stalk lid. After the trunk is through with - maintain on to the reverse of the vehicle, again doing all painted and chrome surfaces. Next, conclusion on to the back billet. I ordinarily next will do both doors and surfaces in relating the in advance and stern ultimate.
Now is the circumstance that you impoverishment to attire the rubber, integrative and chemical group restyling on your journeying. Again, I use the trade goods with an applicator as an alternative of dispersal it on - it saves sluice up time. Don't panic or swither if you get any of the dressing on the against delineated or cr facade - lately rub it off near your microfiber towel!
After binding the lean on the thing of your ride, change to the simple machine author. Yes - the joystick writer. Use your salad dressing to cascade beneath the reins wells to get it to face like new. It will slickly lagging up any particulate matter or muck that you may possibly have accumulated impulsive to the floor show or room at the put on show and it will fix your eyes on similar to new! Next hit your tires. There is zero finer superficial than fresh-dressed tires - recollect - it is all roughly speaking the details!
Again, I proposition sauce wiping the tires beside an applicator for two reasons. First, you will minify any unspotted up from overspray. Secondly, we all have of our own preferences roughly patina and ending - wiping the wares on will allow you to get the photographic closing stages that you thirst - the heavier that you utilise it the shinier the surface.
As a last step, use your express detailer / vaporizer wax and microfiber piece of material on your rims/wheels. This ultimate stair allows you to contact up any overkill sauce off your wheels.
Take other suspension and maneuver rear and extol your manual labour. Next - let's look at the inside.
Start near cleanup the interior solid. If needed, use a run loose chalice formulation and a microfiber towel steadfast to cleansing chalice. Remember to prepare up any overspray on the race and door panels. Using your microfiber towel, contact any dust off the dashboard, rearward platform lid and the midday sleep of your inner spare.
After wiping the interior down, uncap the door and pay notice to the jambs. Using a rushed detailer / aerosol wax, jet the surfaces and assemble any grunge that may perhaps be immediate.
As a critical touch, use an cloud touch up binding for catchy to conquer places, look-alike our Dash Vent Magic to attire those stubborn to limit areas look-alike the conduit that carries electric wiring for potency windows and tresses. It will variety them aspect similar to new!
Open the thug and stalk and wipe lint those compartments. Use your vaporizer wax / rapid detailer if necessary. Pay concentration to the seams where on earth the strong-armer and upper body assemble the natural object - on some sides of the panels - recollect - it's all in the details!
Grab your pasture chair, get a gelid nutrient and prise your journeying - and timepiece as all and sundry else does.

Potato, Leek, and Roasted Garlic Soup
Recipe by Ambrosia for Guen
One night I was watching Emeril and he made a garlic soup. I made the garlic soup and enjoyed it, but decided I'd rather have something else in it rather than having to put bread in the soup to make it feel like it had substance. So I took what I knew of the garlic soup and I took what I knew of leek soup and a smashed them together.
Top Review by EmmyDuckie
This soup is amazing. Every ingredient really shines, and they all meld together into something that's so much greater than the sum of its parts. I followed the directions exactly, except that I pureed about half the soup to get a creamier texture, and finished it with a little rosemary and creme fraiche I had around. We loved it.

Bearcats' victims launch them back in; St. Louis out
The conference tournament titles won by Louisville and
Oregon Saturday were enough to vault Cincinnati back into the projected field
of 65 for the NCAA Tournament.
The Bearcats (17-11), who struggled down the stretch and
lost to lowly Southern Mississippi in the first round of the Conference USA
tourney, got a big lift from the league titles captured by two teams it beat
earlier this season.
Fellow CUSA member St. Louis, which has five wins over
the top 50 teams in the Ratings Percentage Index, succumbed to its 16-13 overall
record and bad losses at Houston and at home against Tennessee-Martin.
(For those of you who haven't polished up on your NCAA
Tournament selection committee terminology, the panel uses its own version of
the Ratings Percentage Index to help decide who gets at-large berths. The committee
doesn't release its RPI but Palm's version at www.collegerpi.com is as close
as you'll find.)
NC State (18-12) may reach the field of 65 because it downed
Wake Forest to make the ACC championship game before falling to Duke on Sunday.
But the Wolfpack's 2-8 record against the RPI top 50, nonconference strength
of schedule of 147 and 3-7 road record may be enough to overshadow 11 wins against
ACC teams. A loss at UMass didn't help, either.
In a few hours, we'll know the NCAA Tournament's field
of 65. The tournament selection committee will release its brackets shortly
after 6 p.m. ET.

I just purchased a new Dell PowerEdge 2950 with a Quad Core processor. I have an open license for Windows 2003 R2 and am trying to decide if I should put the 64bit version on or the 32bit version. What are your thoughts? Will my users notice a performance difference for file sharing using 64bit?
2 Replies

I do not know your users, but most likely they will not notice. Not sure if my clients' users even know what an operating system is, much less if the server OS is a 32-bit version or 64-bit version.
If you are doing something which would take advantage of the 64-bit, then go that route, but be sure you will not have software compatibility issues with the 64-bit OS.
Apr 30, 2008 at 2:39 UTC
All but two of my fileservers are 2003 x64 and I have had no problems with them. The 2 x32 ones have problems with Shadow copy and odd slow downs (one problem each). I don;t imagine that either problem is to do with them being 32 bit it's just that the 64 bit ones have had no issues whatsoever.
They arrived from dell preinstalled as 64 bit else I probably wouldn't have bothered making the change but they are fileservers and don;t have software running on them that might be incompatable. Saying that though I have only had 1 software issue with 32 bit running on 64 bit since we started using 64 bit client OSs so I don;t even think that is going to be an issue as we update servers over the next few years.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.

FX & CFD trading involves significant risk
The euro rose to a seven-week low against the dollar, as investors increased their bets that the European Central Bank will intervene in the situation to limit losses from so-called "peripheral bonds." Note also that the yield on the bond markets of Italy and Spain nearly grown, and the Italian banking stocks suffered heavy losses. As follows from the recent comments, a former prime country Berlusconi ruled out an alliance with the center-left Party of Monti.
The yen rose against all major currencies, as many investors have begun to use this currency as a safe-haven.
The dollar index fluctuated after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the U.S. economy will continue to recover in 2013, but the situation on the labor market and the economy as a whole is weak, and therefore, further mitigation is necessary. Bernanke's comments indicate that he supports an extension of the Fed's bond purchases by 85 billion dollars. Note also that Bernanke did not mention about the difference in the views of the commission members FOMC, but touched all the issues that are of concern. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke called on the White House and Congress to make adjustments and replace sharp automatic spending cuts, known as sequestration. In the view of the Fed automatic spending cuts, which are expected to come into force on Friday, in order to reduce the deficit can affect the pace of economic recovery. Bernanke believes that the gradual reduction of costs in the short term will not remove completely fiscal risks. However, Bernanke believes in the long-term effect will be more significant.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
It's almost unheard of for a hip-hop club to consistently draw 1,000 people these days, but somehow, each and every Friday, the guys from Parlay Productions and 1600 Entertainment do just that. Whether it's the alluring sounds of DJs Ktone and Top Shelf that continually entice the masses, or the club's three-level setup, which is perfect for seeing and being seen, one thing is certain: Club Dreams owns the Friday-night hip-hop club scene.
We take care of our own. While this notion has always held true in Denver, the sentiment was never driven home more convincingly than when 3 Kings Tavern co-owner Jim Norris was unexpectedly hospitalized after being bitten by a brown recluse spider. Norris spent nearly a week in the hospital, racking up a mountain of bills. But soon after news of his dilemma spread, a number of good friends, including Jerri Thiel and John Baxter, organized a series of benefits for the local music champion, and tons of bands stepped in to lend a hand. Way to go, Denver.
When the property that once held Time Capsule Studios — the iconic recording facility where a number of classic Denver albums were recorded — went into foreclosure and was taken over by the bank last May, Martin Anderson, a real-estate agent charged with overseeing the sale of the building, discovered what he suspected to be master recording reels left behind. Sensing that these tapes might contain irreplaceable recordings — with sentimental value for those who recorded them, if nothing else — he made arrangements for the tapes to be salvaged by Haylar Garcia, whose band Hippie Werewolves had recorded at Time Capsule, and whose Decibel Garden Studios agreed to serve as custodian of the reels at no charge. As a result, classic recordings from the likes of the Fluid and Christie Front Drive were saved.
Wealthy Victor is living the expatriate's dream in 1960s Europe, but he's very, very sad, nonetheless: His mistress Louise has just refused his offer of marriage. So he has come to the elegant cafe he owns in Paris intending to starve himself to death. The staff is horrified. They suggest feeding him an imaginary banquet, plate by luscious plate, in hopes of changing his mind. As Victor in the Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company's production of An Empty Plate in the Cafe de Grand Boeuf, John Arp sampled each imaginary dish judiciously (Arp is actually a trained chef), and while he did, he dictated his obituary to the distressed waiter. This is a character who could easily seem tedious and narcissistic, but Arp played him with such warmth and intelligence that you couldn't help hoping Louise would accept him — and that he'd have a bite to eat.
9 Circles, which had its regional premiere at Curious Theatre Company, is based on a real-life atrocity in Iraq: an incident in which a United States soldier entered a family home, raped and killed the fourteen-year-old daughter, killed both her parents and her six-year-old sister, then attempted to burn her body. Taking us into this man's mind is a serious challenge. As Daniel Reeves, Sean Scrutchins needed to be twitchy and almost blurrily out of focus at first, and then, by turns, difficult, belligerent, humorous, unaware and in a state of deep denial. Scrutchins was all this — and then he took us by the throat for the play's terrifying final scene, shaking us out of our complacency and then setting us back down again, forever changed.
The character of Coalhouse Walker towers over the musical Ragtime, a panoramic take on the history of the early twentieth century based on the E.L. Doctorow novel. We are shown Walker's patient and ultimately victorious courtship of Sarah, the mother of his child; his pride, the insults he endures, and then his violent radicalization. When the actor scheduled to play Walker developed throat problems, understudy Tyrone Robinson took over the role of Walker a short time before Ragtime opened at the Arvada Center for the Arts. Tall and imposing, cocky and vulnerable, he gave full expression to the character's fierce tenderness and ambiguous morality, and his powerful, expressive voice commanded the stage.

John Travolta's career has taken a bit of a Nicolas Cage swerve over the last few years but he's back in the big leagues with Life on the Line.
Nope we lied...
This pretty much looks like the TRAVOLTA VS SPARKS movie we didn't know we wanted but now will be dreaming about until the film debuts on some kind of VOD service. It's already gone straight to video in some parts of Europe.
Plus points- that's one mighty beard on the man and the accent is so awful it might be worth a giggle or two. We don't know if its fair to include his 'Academy Award Nominee' status here- he actually has two for acting in Pulp Fiction and Saturday Night Fever. Other slumming stars here include Kate Bosworth, Gil Bellows, Julie Benz and Sharon Stone.
Maybe best avoid this one.

To echt ball game fans, Babe Ruth is the paramount dwelling run baseball player of all clip. When he hit 60 burrow runs in 1927, he hit more house runs than any of the other than (7) American League TEAMS. When Bonds hit 73 homers in 2001, all social unit in the National League out-homered him. Of track they did, it's simply not quality for one contestant to out-homer an total league .

Looking at those numbers, a person can see that Barry Bonds is great, but Babe Ruth was amended. The Babe won 12 Home Run titles to Barry's two. He won six RBI crowns to Bond's one. Ruth likewise led his association in Total Bases seven times, while Bonds achieved that exploit solely onetime. Ruth's period of time endeavour mean was .342 vs Barry's .299. Also weight homework and "flaxseed oil" have helped out at the plate. According to baseball-reference.com, location were 1.12 homers per activity in 2001-three contemporary world more than in 1927. ( Notice I didn't even try out steroids )
Of class Barry was overmuch first-class in the lick division. He stole ended 500 bases in his career piece Ruth stole retributory 123. Barry is as well the a-one fielder. It was fun to ticker him gambol moved out parcel and cut off those hits. Barry won 8 Gold Gloves during his work and lots of us class him to be the top en garde nigh ballplayer of all incident.
One of the reasons Ruth had less at nutty was that he set from 1915 finished 1919. He was the best possible left-hand baseball player in the American League during that fundamental measure next to a record of 89-46 and card an ERA of 2.18. He likewise was an undreamed postseason twirler. In iii world series, Ruth set 31 innings with a record of 3-0 and an ERA of 0.87.
In summary, I regard we all concord that Bonds is a bad recitalist. But when you deduce of Baseball and Homer Runs, you devise of Babe Ruth. Bonds could hit 8000 marital runs and that wouldn't transmission.

Attributes are the (often) nongeographic, descriptive properties assigned to spatial entities. Attributes can be representative of any characteristic (e.g., physical, environmental, social, economic, etc.) of a spatial entity, and they can be assigned to any type of spatial data (e.g., points, lines, and areas for vector data; cells in a raster data set; and voxels or other volumetric spatial entities). Attribute information is used in making maps, distinguishing the characteristics of locations, and performing spatial analyses.
Vector Attributes
In the case of vector data, each feature in the data set is generally described using multiple attributes. Attributes are typically stored in attribute tables. Each row in the table contains information about individual geographic entities, and the columns in the table, usually called fields, contain information about attributes for all entities. Attributes in tables have defined characteristics, such as name, type, and length of the field. In a GIS, a field can contain only one type of data, and some data types, such as text, require additional specifications, such as length. In addition, it is possible for the GIS user to set whether or not there is an acceptable range of numeric values or a list of acceptable text entries for a field, as well as whether or not missing values are allowed; this is called a domain. Missing values are often indicated with an entry such as NULL or −9999, so that they can be identified quickly and removed from calculations.
Raster Attributes
Raster data can be either discrete (that is, they represent phenomena that have clear boundaries and attributes for qualitative categories, such as land use type or district) or continuous (that is, each cell has a unique floating point value for quantitative phenomena, such as elevation or precipitation). Continuous raster data have no attribute tables, but discrete raster data have a single attribute assigned to each cell in the raster that defines which class, group, or category the cell belongs to. Since there are frequently many cells in a raster that have the same value, the raster attribute table is structured differently than a vector attribute table. The raster attribute table assigns each row to a unique attribute value; a column contains the count of the number of cells with each value. This table may also have a column that provides a textual description of each of the unique attribute values (e.g., 1 is "urban," and 2 is "rural").
Related Attributes
With both raster and vector data, the attribute tables can be related to external tables containing additional attributes. To create a relationship between a spatial attribute table (raster or vector) and an external attribute table, a common attribute field, called the key, must be contained in both tables. Most geographic attributes can be classified into one of four levels of measurement using Stevens's scales of measurement: nominal, interval, ordinal, and ratio. The classification of attributes according to the level of measurement determines which mathematical operations, statistical methods, and types of visual representations are appropriate for the data. For instance, nominal attributes (i.e., categorical attributes such as urban and rural) are qualitative measures; therefore, it would be inappropriate to use mathematical operators for this type of attribute.

Obama: Full withdrawal from Iraq by Jan. 1
WASHINGTON – All U.S. troops will leave Iraq by Jan. 1, formally ending the war that began more than eight-and-a-half years ago and has taken more than 4,400 American lives, President Obama said today.
"After nearly nine years, America's war in Iraq will be over," Obama said at the White House.
Obama delivered his statement after speaking with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki via a secure video conference.
INTERACTIVE: U.S. casualties in Iraq
MORE: Obama builds on national security record
BLOG: Obama's withdrawal: Questions for Iraq
The war started with a U.S. invasion of Iraq in March 2003 that ousted longtime Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. The initial enthusiasm surrounding Hussein's overthrow quickly gave way to fighting between rival ethnic and religious groups and a long guerrilla war against U.S. forces that reached its peak in 2007, when then-president George W. Bush ordered more than 30,000 extra troops for a "surge" that helped turn the tide.
Although the United States has signed an agreement to withdraw all combat troops from Iraq by the end of this year, officials from both countries had discussed maintaining a small U.S. residual force of 3,000 to 5,000 American troops to train Iraqi forces.
The United States has balked at updating the agreement, however, because Iraq has refused to grant American troops legal immunity in Iraqi courts.
Publicly, al-Maliki had remained neutral on whether to ask residual forces to remain behind. But he faced fierce internal political pressure and recently told Obama administration officials that it was impossible for him to win support for immunity for U.S. troops from the Iraqi parliament, the Associated Press reported.
In making the announcement, Obama stressed that the Iraqis are ready for the transition. At the height of sectarian strife that pushed Iraq to the precipice of civil war in 2005-06, there were more than 1,500 security incidents each week. Presently, there are about 100 security incidents per week.
As a presidential candidate in 2008, Obama vowed to end the war. He noted in his remarks to reporters that he was following through with his promise and that it was now time to turn the country's full attention to bolstering the American economy.
"After a decade of war the nation that we need to build and the nation that we will build is our own, an America that sees its economic strength restored just as we've restored our leadership around the globe," Obama said.
There are presently about 40,000 troops in Iraq. The complete withdrawal from Iraq marks a follow-through under a deal brokered between the countries in 2008 by President George W. Bush.
The decision to end the war was applauded by Obama allies.
"The United States is fulfilling our agreement with an Iraqi government that wants to shape its own future," said Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. "The president is also following through on his commitment to end both the conflict in Iraq and our military presence."
Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, supported keeping a residual force behind in Iraq, but said the decision to end the U.S. presence was the right one considering the Iraqis refused to give U.S. troops immunity.
"I was prepared to support a continued presence of U.S. trainers in Iraq beyond the end of this year," Levin said. "But in light of Iraq's refusal to eliminate the possibility that U.S. troops would face prosecutions in Iraqi courts, President Obama has made the right decision."
House Speaker John Boehner commended U.S. troops for their sacrifice and credited the Bush administration.
"The continued drawdown of American troops that began under the previous administration wouldn't be possible if not for the hard work and sacrifice of our servicemembers, diplomats and their families.
Some conservatives, however, condemned the decision.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney questioned the motives behind Obama's decision. "The unavoidable question is whether this decision is the result of a naked political calculation or simply sheer ineptitude in negotiations with the Iraqi government," said Romney, a former Massachusetts governor. "The American people deserve to hear the recommendations that were made by our military commanders in Iraq."
Rep. Michelle Bachmann of Minnesota, a GOP presidential candidate, said the United States was being "ejected" from Iraq and called on the administration to demand the Iraqi government compensate the U.S. government for the cost of liberating the country.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said that all of the U.S. commanders he has spoken with told him that a continued U.S. military presence was needed beyond 2011.
"I am confident that no U.S. commander of any stature who has served in Iraq recommended the course of action that has now been taken," McCain said.
Fred Kagan, one of the architects of the 2006-07 troop surge that helped turn around the war, also warned that Obama risks squandering hard-fought progress and will sharpen neighboring Iran's influence inside Iraq and increase the chances that the Iraqi government will fail.
"It makes a mockery, moreover, of the notion that the United States is somehow isolating Iran and increasing pressure on the Islamic Republic mere days after the revelation of an elaborate Iranian plot to conduct attacks on American soil," Kagan wrote in a blog posting for the American Enterprise Institute. "What sort of sanctions regime can we maintain if Iraq is effectively a free-trade corridor with Iran?"
Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough deflected suggestions that the United States was withdrawing too quickly.
"What the president preferred was for the best relationship for the United States and Iraq going forward," McDonough said. "That's exactly what we have now."
Dating back to his time in the Illinois state Senate, Obama was a tough critic of the war, and his opposition was a central aspect of his campaign for the presidency. But today, he centered his comments on what U.S. troops have achieved and how the Iraqi military and political cultural has grown.
"Over the next two months, our troops in Iraq, tens of thousands of them, will pack up their gear and board convoys for the journey home," Obama said. "The last American soldiers will cross the border out of Iraq with their heads held high, proud of their success and knowing that the American people stand united in our support for our troops."
White House officials downplayed concerns that the Iraqi forces may not be capable of managing the country's security and discounted there will be an uptick in violence as the final U.S. troops leave the country. McDonough stressed it was time to recognize that recognize Iraq is "secure, stable and self-reliant."
Anthony Blinken, national security adviser to Vice President Biden, noted that whenever the U.S. military has reduced its presence — the withdrawal of additional troops sent as part of Bush's 2007 troop surge; U.S. forces exiting Iraqi cities and cutting the American presence to 50,000 servicmembers last year — violence has actually declined.
But the two demurred when asked whether the U.S. sacrifice — more than 4,400 troops killed and nearly $1 trillion in American taxpayer money — was worth it.
"History is going to judge that," Blinken said. "I don't think any of us can say that now."

Fox & Friends mangles provision subjecting lawmakers to plans created by health bill
Research ››› ››› JOCELYN FONG
Fox & Friends hosts Brian Kilmeade, Gretchen Carlson, and Steve Doocy falsely claimed that the health care reform bill contains "a carve out, preventing ... lawmakers" from "getting what they have just given the American people," in Kilmeade's words. In fact, the bill says the opposite; the health plans offered to "Members of Congress and congressional staff" will be restricted to those plans created under the bill, while leadership and committee staff may be exempt from that requirement.
Fox & Friends falsely reported that bill exempts "lawmakers" from the health plans it creates
Kilmeade: Bill "prevent[s]" lawmakers "from getting what they have just given the American people." Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade stated during the March 24 broadcast, "Among the other things that I think stands out about this bill is that who's going to get it and who's not. For example, you heard the president of the United States talk about, I just want to give the American people what we here in Congress get, what federal workers get. But in the end, Senator Grassley points out the language in this is a carve out, preventing those lawmakers and their staffers from getting what they have just given the American people."
Carlson: "I think that this is astounding that these lawmakers are not required" to use health plans created by the bill. Later in the show, Fox & Friends co-host Gretchen Carlson stated, "I think that this is astounding that these lawmakers are not required to do exactly what the American people are now going to be required to do."
Doocy: "Members of Congress" don't "have to take it." Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy stated that "the particular people who worked on the bill" are not subject to the plans it creates. Doocy added, "So the president doesn't have to take it. Also, members of Congress and their staffs that worked on this particular carve out and what we're winding up with."
In fact, the bill says only plans created by the bill will be available to "Members of Congress and congressional staff"
Bill says "Members of Congress and congressional staff" will only be offered plans created by the bill or offered through exchanges established by bill. From H.R. 3590, the health care bill signed by President Obama on March 23:
(i) REQUIREMENT.-Notwithstanding any other provision of law, after the effective date of this subtitle, the only health plans that the Federal Government may make available to Members of Congress and congressional staff with respect to their service as a Member of Congress or congressional staff shall be health plans that are-
(I) created under this Act (or an amendment made by this Act); or
(II) offered through an Exchange established under this Act (or an amendment made by this Act).
(ii) DEFINITIONS.-In this section:
(I) MEMBER OF CONGRESS.-The term ''Member of Congress'' means any member of the House of Representatives or the Senate.
(II) CONGRESSIONAL STAFF.-The term ''congressional staff'' means all full-time and parttime employees employed by the official office of a Member of Congress, whether in Washington, DC or outside of Washington, DC.
Grassley himself noted that the provision "applie[s] to members of Congress and their staffs," but could exempt "leadership and committee staff." Roll Call reported on March 24 that a recent Congressional Research Service memo states that the provision could exempt "leadership and committee staffers from the requirement" since "the bill defines staff as employees who work in a Member's 'official office.'" Contrary to Kilmeade's claim that "Senator Grassely points out the language in this is a carve out, preventing those lawmakers and their staffers from getting what they have just given the American people," Roll Call reported that Grassley said "leadership and committee staff exempted themselves from the reforms, which had been applied to members of Congress and their staffs."
