Wouldn't surprise me Dewey Finn Jan 2012 #23

Sure, and let's just ignore the fact that Obama tried, but failed, to extend the war. girl gone mad Jan 2012 #27

Yes, he wanted them to stay so bad, that he removed almost all of them within about 19 months of JoePhilly Jan 2012 #28

Right, and the Iraqis refusal to cave in to his demands that troops be allowed to commit war crimes. girl gone mad Jan 2012 #29

Obama demanded that US troops be allowed to commit war crimes? JoePhilly Jan 2012 #32

I thought you might be capable of realizing the contradictions on your own. girl gone mad Jan 2012 #53

Credit is not the same thing as agency, I *knew* you would say 'that' was the "contridiction." joshcryer Jan 2012 #54
