BB036 9912554 regarding NF 9911955, JS029 9911663So basically you're going with the standard "Maliki wanted us out so Obama had no choice in the matter" spin. That unfortunately ignores the fact that Obama had significant leverage and that Maliki was not the only opinion in Iraq on the matter. So that post is a loser.
Why are you referring to Amb. Chris Hill's Opinion as posted by EconChick to be spin? Maliki and his political majority did want us out and because that is so, Obama, nor anyone else had any choice in the matter other than violating Iraq's sovereignty by the us of military aggression once again.
You see EconChick with her OP is relying upon your ignorance and laziness to be satisfied that Politio's headline suffices as thorough journalistic fact-finding and the best summary of what Amb. Hill had to say. The trouble with ignorance such as that means we never will learn from Bush's horrendous mistake in March 2003.
Amb Hill is on the side of 'we shoulda, coulda, left a hefty troop presents beyond 2011. But his opinion piece in Politico is essentially explaining also why we couldn't do that. The problem was Maliki not Obama. But that doesn't produce 'hits' on websites here in the US.
Try to read things before you comment on them.
NOTFOOLED you've been so thoroughly trounced on this topic out in the press, esp because of Panetta now.... that I won't ever have to type another word countering your lies, LOL.
...but I might cuz it's so fun....
