“Hey Imam Obama, want some lipstick for your pig?”

Full disclosure: the following is not a defense of Obama; just the facts.

If it is a “pig” it is our “pig” not Obama’s.

The timing of the current U.S. military position in Iraq was not set by Obama.

The timing of the changes in our military operations in Iraq was set by a legal agreement between the Iraqi government and the Bush administration; with the primary emphasis on the timing that agreement achieved being pushed for most by that Iraqi government.

For Obama to have done something different, it would have required renegotiating that agreement.

No Iraqi government was going to do that.

Doing so would be an admission that they were weak and unprepared to fulfill their own obligations as spelled out in that agreement.

As much as that may have been more honest, concerning the current security status in the country, it would have politically doomed any Iraqi government that did it.

It is now up to the Iraqi people themselves, to end their need and expectation that the U.S. should force Iraqi politicians to do things that the Iraqi people are unwilling to force them to do.

Obama is just like all the other democrats and libtards. They do not know how to win wars but they sure can start them and lose them.
