The President-elect Obama unveiled its security team. Hilary was appointed as “Secretary of State”. Gates was still the Minister of Defense. Obama said when he competed for the presidency that he will pull out US troops from Iraq. Once elected, will he pull out US troops from Iraq? Do you think how soon he will put it into action?

He's probably learned a thing or three in transition briefings that will change his mind.

Obama had promised many things to get elected, lower taxes, pull out of Iraq, and of course his big campaign promise, CHANGE. Starting January I think we are going to see a lot of back peddling and government as usual. Of course he will blame the Republicans for totalling screwing up the economy and has no recourse but to raise taxes like Clinton did in his first term, The pull out is enevitable no matter who won, but too early, before Iraq establishes a solid foundation and security will only create a greater enemy for the US and the world (and I hope he has enough sense to realize that), and the change is barriers to industry and fewer jobs as he redistributes our wealth. How's the weather in China?

During WW2, when the American Army drove Germans out of an area, representatives of the U.S. State Department moved in to reestablish local civilian control (in Morocco and Tunisia for example). In Iraq, members of the State department have actually declined to go there to help with the civilian government. This has led to the U.S. Military having to stick around much longer than normal as they work with locals to get their local goverments running.
But like a classic welfare state, why should they ( the Iraqis) work when someone else is willing to work for free?
The U.S. military will be there in one way or another for quite some time yet.

The whole USA is putting a high expectation on Barack Obama. Will Obama fulfil your expecation? Hopefully, Obama will not let Americans down.

Wrong!!! There is 47% of the American population that rejected him, by voting for the other guy...

Yes, because he is the president, he has the duty to do so.
However it is not going to happen any time soon.
