Lowry misses a few critical points here.

1. For one thing, there's no reason to criticize the Obama administration for "ending the war" when it has become painfully obvious now that the U.S. never should have invaded Iraq in the first place. The sad truth is that Iraq is a disaster today because Saddam Hussein was far more effective at dealing with radical Islamic extremists than that dope George W. Bush ever was.

2. The history of the U.S. role in Iraq just goes to show that nations like the U.S. with democratically elected governments are ill-equipped to wage colonial wars like this. Elected leaders change, and an affluent nation with the highest standard of living in the history of mankind doesn't have the attention span or the moral compass to support -- or even justify -- a long-term occupation halfway around the world.

There’s a video out there of Obama speaking - stating that when someone is elected President - they are owned by the American people - that there’s not time for rest, vacations, ect...

He is the biggest hypocrite ever in existence...then again, those of us that didn’t vote for knew that - but I hate that we were proven right by an 8 yr fact!
