I do thank Obama for following through on the SOFA agreement between the Bush administration and the Maliki government.
We could not stay there forever.
I find it laughable that the people who wanted us to stay forever are the same numbskulls who are filled with false outrage about how apparently "broke" we are.
President Obama is having to continue doing janitorial work as a result of the fallout from neo-cons who got us into a war without planning any aspect of it.
ISIS exists today because of the shoddy work done by the Bush administration. What progressives warned about before the war came true in ISIS. We predicted all along that the war would foment more hate against us by going in there than not, and that's exactly what we're seeing with ISIS, which is akin to a supervirus whereas before we were just dealing with a virus.
President Obama turned out to be right last year when we wanted to start attacking them in Syria. He made a good case and Republicans in the House refused to do anything about it.
Now Republicans have the nerve to act as if Obama is somehow weak because ISIS is in Iraq, which is something that might not even have been a problem if we had attacked them last year.
And of course, ISIS would definitely not be in Iraq today if the war hadn't happened or if the war had been properly planned.
Republicans have exhausted all credibility on the matter of national security by their decisions from the last decade.
