He claims he, Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman went to Iraq and met with all of the leaders of Iraq's main political blocs in May of 2011 and by August 2011, the leaders of Iraq's main political blocs joined together and stated that they were prepared to enter negotiations to keep some U.S. troops in Iraq.

Condi Rice said we always knew we'd be in Iraq past 2011. This is rich.

First of all, elections matter - whatever Condi or Bush or Cheney thought they could do after that they left office is completely irrelevant.

Second, this stuff just shows how much we were misled about going into Iraq and how badly things went and still we were lied to about Iraq.

There was an agreement for us to leave Iraq. The government of Iraq wanted us to leave. The American people wanted us to leave. Many Americans
never wanted us to go in at all.
