51. McCain forgets a key point.....

Fri Jun 13, 2014, 08:12 AM

Jun 2014

The Bush administration negotiated the final withdrawal with the government of Iraq. They didn't want us to leave any troops there. Obama simply implemented the deal that was struck by Bush.

It wasn't up to Obama to decide to leave troops there. Bush had agreed we would pull out. They didn't want us to have troops there.

Al-Maliki is responsible for this by pushing Sunnis out of the government and refusing to jointly govern the country.

I don't want any more money spent on these fools. I don't want any U.S. military or other personnel to help them. I don't want to drop bombs or anything.

Let them deal with the problem.
