I listened President Obama's comments on my car radio when he made the speech Gothmog Mar 2014 #90

I did not/would not say he "defended" the Iraq war, but he certainly fell far short .... Scuba Mar 2014 #95

President Obama was making a legal point that the Iraq invasion is different from Crimea Gothmog Mar 2014 #101
