John McCain is still having problems accepting his 2008 defeat.
It is clear that this decision of a complete pullout of United States troops from Iraq was dictated by politics, and not our national security interests, said McCain from the Senate floor.
I believe history will judge this presidents leadership with the scorn and disdain it deserves.
Seventy percent of Americans think otherwise. That's the number who agree with the President on the troop withdrawal. But its a moot point anyway.
Iraqis wanted the U.S. out of their country. Couple that with the 2008 agreement President Bush signed with Iraq which set the withdrawal date at December 31 2011 and there was little President Obama could have done even if he wanted to stay in Iraq for another 100 years. (Remember McCain in the 2008 campaign stating how hed have no problem keeping U.S. troops in for another 100 years?)
Get over it, John. You lost. Obama won. You got your surge. Iraq war is over. But hey, if one of your boys wins next November, you'll have the Iran war you've always wanted to keep you amused.
In the meantime, go plant a garden.
