Well…after the announcement that the US would be withdrawing all it’s troops from Iraq at the end of the year, the predictable howling started from the right, led, in part, by ole Chuck who savaged Obama on the “failure” of his diplomacy. Never mind that this agreement to withdraw the troops was negotiated by ole GW and his folks in 2008 and was hailed by these same neocon idiots as a wonderful success and a vindication of the lies that sent us to war. Once it was clear that the reasons for the invasion and war were lies, you remember that the reasons kept changing until they settled on the idea that the war was justified to bring democracy to Iraq. But, I guess that those reasons were a lie, too, if you listen to ole Chuck spout his nonsense that because we toppled Saddam, we have the right to stay in that sovereign country indefinitely; no matter what the people of Iraq want. What you don’t understand, Chuck, is that the democratically elected government of Iraq have said no thanks to our offer to stay…so what should we do? Re-invade and topple this government, too? This just shows the moral bankruptcy of the right….that they feel like the US can and should do whatever we want in the world and don’t have to abide by any treaty that we don’t like. The damage that folks like ole Chuck did to this country may be irreparable…why should anyone listen to them now?
