Beats me, if he did, but of course I was not a speechwriter for him. I voted for him twice and think he did an ok job, overall. He did better than Son-Of-A-Bush, but that didn't take much, though he did not get us out of Afghanistan or Iraq and should have if it was ever stable and secure. I never lost anything over there except friends in either place.
So Obama is a liar? why would he pull our troops out if it wasn’t stable??
Like I have said before, Son-of-a Bush should never have taken us in there, in the first place and should have gotten us out before 4,477 military coalition deaths, 32,000-42,000 coalition injuries and of course 42,000 plus civilian casualties. Of course, he talked and planned to get us out of the next president's watch, but not on his, same as Donny talked about getting us out on the next president's, but didn't on his watch. You guys hate Joe for getting us out of Afghanistan. We're most there now for placeholders and Iranian terrorist potshots. I would not care if Joe pulled the plug tonight. I am not sure you guys could hate him twice as much.
why get us out when we were winning?
If you say so. What are we winning and how do you know when we have won enough?
when we could leave without iraq falling into the hands of isis and iran
I here you. I guess it is like Rumsfeld said, If you break it, you bought it. We didn't need it or want it, but I guess we did break it. I look forward to the day, we can leave, and they won't throw their weapons down and split, like that Afghanis did.
obama and xiden broke it…they had been given a free and stable iraq
There were terrorist bombings in Bagdad (the capital of Iraq) the month before Obama was inaugurated. Death an injuries continued to decrease during his first 4 years. He should have gotten us out, just like he should have gotten us out of Afghanistan, but didn't. I suspect that even a democrat thinks war is good business, just like Republicans, sometimes. The Iraqis, this last December: In attempt to ease pressure, Iraq announces end to U.S. ‘combat’ mission
do obama lied? just imagine had he not lied, and keep the small amount of troops we had there instead of pulling them…how many more lives would be saved and maybe and real free and stable iraq would exist
Lol. Nope. Maliki was an incompetent Iranian stooge.
obama said he did…why did obama say that then?
Over the years people in the political class both elected and unelected and associated have made statements on this. They are red flags to the ideas of the future. Obama made two statements while President. Limits on medical care that stops at a certain cost and take the pain pill. It flew over the media's head of course.
What good wouldn't it have done to attack dubya or Maliki?
Let us know when they start attacking their neighbors and gassing Kurds.
Churchill gassed the Kurds and Iraqi Arabs in 1920.
I was talking about now and Iraq. If you think what Churchill may have done 100 years ago makes it OK, you're more of a dingbat than I thought.
He gassing at halabja was probably accidental and the US provided the gas.
