Well now we see the results of our President leaving Iraq. The mission wasn't complete but when one only cares about his re-election, about himself to be more accurate, then completing the mission doesn't enter into the equation.
And the Iraqi's are paying for our President's selfish behavior:
A wave of bombings ripped across Baghdad on Thursday morning, killing at least 63 people and injuring almost 200 in the worst violence Iraq has seen for months. The bloodbath comes just days after American forces left the country.The blasts also came on the heels of a political crisis between Iraq's Sunni and Shiite factions that erupted this weekend.
The political spat has raised fears that Iraq's sectarian wounds will be reopened during a fragile time when Iraq is finally navigating its own political future without U.S. military support.
Without our backing this country WILL disintegrate. But Obama based his decision to pull out because of politics, not the future of the Iraqi people.
And those thousands of American troops will have died in vain.
A leading Iraqi politician has accused the country's prime minister of acting like Saddam Hussein in trying to silence opposition, saying he risks provoking a new fightback against dictatorship.Iyad Allawi -- a former prime minister who leads the Sunni-backed Iraqiya bloc -- also claimed the United States had pulled out its troops "without completing the job they should have finished."

....so HE could keep a promise
“And those thousands of American troops will have died in vain.”
Don’t forget those troops that were disabled physically and mentally. What a waste of our treasure.
A promise kept to whom, I wonder.
I’ve been putting out a daily Iraq Intelligence Report found here:

I wanted to make sure we didn’t loose site of where we came from like the Afghanistan conflict during the eighties...
And yes - it shows exactly that - total collapse!
yeah
Al Maliki is in league with the Iranians.
What more does anyone need to know?
He pressured Obama to leave, so Obama did.
The collapse is no accident, it was planned. So his Muzzie brothers can have their Caliphate.
The Obastard MUST go, and when he does we must hold those who did this to the nation and the world accountable.
It is just nobama’s WTF foreign policy instituted in collusion with the world’s great foreign policy expert, biden, and a great secretary of state (and world’s smartest woman), clintoon.
Shouldn’t they all be in Leavenworth???????????????????????
Bush was castigated for the "MIssion Accomplished" sign which was an accurate description for the crew of the Navy vessel he was on. Obama's "mission accomplished" means any hard-won progress, and the lives wasted, are thrown in the sewer.
Reminiscent of Gene Hackman telling Will Smith he destroyed his stronghold "Because you made a phone call.".
Added proof of how much elections have consequences.
Obama is going to blame this on Bush...
The State Media will simply never report this. If it is not reported, it is not a problem.
Yes, or tried for Treason first and placed there. Or declare them enemy combatants and send them to Gitmo.
Should have just let the Kurds have Iraq.
Ahhh Where do you come from. That is not exactly my take on this mess.
FUBO!
