And how the Killing Fields became the Killing Fields?

It's because Democrats decided to just withdraw completely from Vietnam. Condemning not only many Vietnamese to death but MANY Cambodians.
Whether you agree with Vietham or not, Vietnam left us with one very important historical lesson.
You can't just withdraw militarily from a country whether you agree with that war or not. To do so condemns not just hundreds but MILLIONS to their deaths.
Now Obama seeks to repeat that horrible lesson in history for no other reason than to shore up his base for an election that (right now) he is likely to lose.

There is a reason why the Democrats didn't gain politically after pulling out of Vietnam. It's because too many Americans saw the attrocities in tht aftermath.
That's one of the reasons Kerry lost in 2008. Too many people remember Kerry's hand in us just pulling out of Vietnam
Does Obama care how many people have died in Iraq?
Does he care that every Iraqi who risked their lives to help our military hunt down terrorists will be condemned to possibile imprisonment, torture and death?
Does he care that every Iraqi that ignored danger to vote in those elections will now have their lives and their children's lives in danger?
Does he care, Iraq will probably be taken over by another tyrant like Hussein?
Oh hell no, he doesn't care. All he cares about is winning an election.
The IDIOTS who think this is a good thing, Obama just withdrawing.
How many times must this happen before LIBERAL MORONS crack open a history book and learn from our past mistakes?
Remember this in 2012.
Remember and VOTE.

President Obamas decision to pull all U.S. forces out of Iraq by Dec. 31 is an absolute disaster that puts the burgeoning Arab democracy at risk of an Iranian strangling, said an architect of the 2007 troop surge that turned around a losing war.
Retired ArmyGen. John M. Keane was at the forefront of persuading President George W. Bush to scuttle a static counterinsurgency strategy and replace it with 30,000 reinforcements and a more activist, street-by-street counterterrorism tactic.
Today, even with that strategy producing a huge drop in daily attacks, Gen. Keane bluntly told The Washington Times that the United States again is losing.
I think its an absolute disaster, said Gen. Keane, who advised Gen. David H. Petraeus when he was top Iraq commander. We won the war in Iraq, and were now losing the peace.
Forty-four hundred lives lost, Gen. Keane said. Tens of thousands of troops wounded. Over a couple hundred thousand Iraqis killed. We liberated 25 million people. There is only one Arab Muslim country that elects its own government, and that is Iraq.
We should be staying there to strengthen that democracy, to let them get the kind of political gains they need to get and keep the Iranians away from strangling that country. That should be our objective, and we are walking away from that objective.
