STOP SAYING OBAMA PULLED OUT OF IRAQ TOO SOON!!! Steve K just let another a-h say that and didn't

correct it. There was an agreement between gwb and Iraq government to get out. Our soldiers were not going to be protected from prosecution if we stayed. Iraq didn't want us. WHY CAN'T WE GET AN HONEST MEDIA??????????? MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL. can you tell? Can someone tweet that out to Steve so he will get it right next time. I don't know how to get the message to him.

I used to really like him...but now..I record his two hr show - It takes roughly 20 minutes to listen to what I'm interested in.....the rest as described here...I speed right through.
Not gonna listen to the corp bs. I don't care who delivers it.

And another thing...even IF PBO "pulled out too soon"...wasn't he complying with the Peoples mandate, by majority?

invaded Iraq, I said that no matter when U.S. troops are pulled out Iraq will start to self destruct. Iraq is an artificial construct that can only be held together by a strong despot. There is no nation there.

Three distinct Countries within one and with a understanding of History could see this mess coming. The Brits put this country together with brute force and maintained it with brute force.

I like Steve but sometimes he gets it wrong and perhaps since he does this early in the reporting and the facts are not available I can overlook, corrections would be appreciated. In the case of the troops, this is not new and you are right the Iraqi would not sign the protection agreement to protect our troops. Wrong reporting needs to cease, we expect this from FOX but others needs to be right or corrected when facts are known.
