K&R if you like Obama! (This one is "mega-style"!)

48. My apologies. Since this is a "K&R if you like Obama" thread

I had assumed you mean the Democratic Party in relation to Obama who is, consequently, seen as the head of the Democratic Party. I don't see it that way, either, and I'm happy you agree with me on that.

>>> And BTY, we got kicked out of Iraq, we were ask to leave by the Iraqi's in a rather firm way. >>>

Not really. The U.S. did not get kicked out of Iraq or were asked to leave by the Iraqis. The U.S. is still a superpower and you don't tell a superpower what to do. And the Iraqi gov't didn't want the U.S. to leave just yet. They asked the U.S. to keep troops in Iraq but under the condition U.S. military would be subject to Iraqi prosecution in their (read: Iranian courts since Iraq is infiltrated by the Shi'ites, the Iranians and the Iranian gov't is pulling the strings).

For all we know, the Iraqi's (Shi'ites in Iraq) wanted to keep U.S. troops in the country to prosecute them for Abu Ghraib and other instances. Although they would lie in people's faces if they're asked if their loyalty is to Iran, they know they're slowly swallowing up Iraq, making it part of Iran again. If Pres. Obama had agreed to their outrageous conditions while the U.S. is trying to make right what Bush made wrong, he would expose our soldiers to their courts, and he'd be crucified by all Americans, regardless of their political bent here at home.

But anyone who believes the U.S. withdrew from Iraq because of Bush's signed statement need only look at Bush's track record and McCain's words (he's pissed off Pres. Obama went on ahead and withdrew anyway) to know that piece of paper wasn't worth the ink it was signed with.
