Quote from rew:
It's been more than two years since Obama's inauguration and we still have troops in Iraq. (BTW, I count replacing regular troops with U.S. mercenaries as still having troops in Iraq.) So Obama loses on that one. Obama is getting us mired more in Afghanistan, just as he promised. We must protect those opium crops.
Obama never should have said we were going to pull all troops out of Iraq. Everyone here who is ex-military, or at least reads history, knows damn well that the base there is going to stay, for a long time, and that was the plan from the beginning.
