how quick you are to dismiss the deaths of nearly 5000 americans based on a lie.
Doer , do you think groupthink has infected the modern Republican Party? It seems that way to me, but then wouldn't you agree that most politicians would be fine examples of sophists. Republicans do seem to be well ahead of the curve though. Oops I guess I what I just said is sophistry, but what is a good debate without some. It would be boring.Yes, sophist. You only claim I dismiss. You preen that we should not forget....
Nice try.
Indeed. A lot of people would point the finger at Alan Greenspan, Bill Clinton, and both Republican and Democratic congresses. The truth is that everyone participated. Everyone bought into the rhetoric that technology had permanently changed things in the world and ushered in an era of unprecedented prosperity. More than 10 years later, we have significantly more clarity than we did as the smoke was rising.
You are such a worthless lying piece of snow-capped chicken crap. We got out of Iraq right on the Bush time table. Obama did his best to keep us there, and I am sure GWB would have done his best to keep us there too, but the Iraqis refused to establish a SOFA insisted we get out. Obama/Bush deserve about as much credit for getting us out of Iraq as John (why the long face, buddy) Kerry. And let's not forget that the American invasion of Iraq was authorized by Congress and was based on the UN resolution that also authorized it. Hillary Clinton voted to authorize and Ron Paul did not; go figure. I guess, "what, at this point, does it matter" would be Hillary's response to this history lesson.
you seem upset that obama got us out of iraq as quick as he could.
haha he stuck to original withdraw date is getting us out quick? Talk about worship Obama cock smoker lol.
Except that "Obama" still has "us" in Iraq...
I thought it was something rather small; around 3,000 or so. I'd call that a withdrawal. Did something change?
beardo's just trolling, but we do have some private forces in there, i believe.
I think we have the largest US military base there and the largest US embassy in the world there, and US security contractors there who are private military and who knows what all else
Having a legitimate point is not trolling
Yes, some private forces...... and US military forces
Obama didn't do shit, he just stuck to the deadline, resident Obama cock smoker AKA Moose Knuckle AKA dumbfucky is flinging bullshit propaganda.
i suppose we could have just up and left sooner and left a larger power vacuum, but we still left as soon as we could.
this is not true, US troops are still in Iraq
The problem is our forces aren't immune to prosecution for actions in Iraq any longer. They can file charges against you for murder if you shoot someone. It's pretty much a training detail there now. You could mobilize them for peacekeeping and humanitarian stuff, but there's not enough equipment there to do anything too crazy. If anything, they're just a big target now. You re right though, we'll probably have a base there until after I die. There's a difference between maintaining a presence, and actively performing combat operations though. That region is still highly unstable.
