I despise Obama, but he did not say "Combat has ended."
Let's not fall prey to atrocious media reporting.
That's for Democrats.
No. Let's not be fair. That was the last election cycle. LOL!
For the record only, and no personal disparagement or criticism intended, I believe you are incorrect when you say, “[Obama] did not say ‘Combat has ended’”.
“Tonight, I am announcing that the American combat mission in Iraq has ended”.
