Graham: White House Lying About Iraq Status of Forces Agreement
"Graham told the story of his personal role in the negotiations during the draw down of U.S. forces in Iraq. He said when he and Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Joe Lieberman (I-CT) were in Iraq, Malik agreed to a "follow up force" being left in theater and it was the Obama administration's intentional refusal to give the Iraqis a solid troop number that destroyed the deal."
So why did Obama switch sides in the GWOT? Why is Obama backing Al Qaeda?
Wow talk about fair...A Republican on a republican site claims that its all his political opponents fault. Thats shocking...ly typical.
Got anything from yanno...not a hack site or a politician looking to score points or disproves the reporting from WSJ?![]()
See, this is what happens when you don't read the articles you link
"But Mr. Maliki said the only way for any of the remaining 50,000 or so American soldiers to stay beyond 2011 would be for the two nations to negotiatewith the approval of Iraq's Parliamenta new Status of Forces Agreement, or SOFA, similar to the one concluded in 2008."
You didn't read the article, right? You saw the headline and grabbed it.
Funny you cut it off too early because beneath that it says:
That deal took a year of protracted negotiations in the face of vehement opposition from many among Mr. Maliki's own Shiite constituency, and no repeat is expected.
Mr. Maliki and U.S. officials have refrained for the most part from raising the issue publicly during the months of political wrangling in Baghdad, as Mr. Maliki negotiated with potential coalition partners, many of whom have adamantly opposed an extended U.S. stay.
So, like I said, the reason we arent still there is because Iraqi's didnt want us there. Fucktard
