My point is McCain spoke an unpopular truth and was mocked and ridiculed by Obama and Clinton. Obama ran on a promise to end the war. People naively believed him without looking at the facts and what McCain was saying.
All politics.
And the media should stop describing these wars separately. It's one war on multiple fronts. The truth is we never left Iraq after 1992
It was Iraq violating terms of the 1992 surrender that caused Clinton to bomb them. People forget that Clinton bombed Iraq and said they had WMDs.
People forget that the Iraq war part deux electric boogaloo had 80% approval when it started.
Obama is under 40% now so he launches this half assed deal to get people off his back so he can get back the the golf course
We still have troops in Germany and Japan for fucks sakes. We are NATO - we still have Russia surrounded.
Someone is always going to run the planet. Better us than some Jihadi fuckfaces or commie basterds that will interfere with our God given rights to porn, gay sex, and drug overdoses
