President Obama says that he will fulfill his commitment and end the war in Iraq when promised.
Oh, did he happen to mention that this means still keeping 50,000 American troops and lot of contractors (mercenaries) stationed there? The American troops will still be driving armored vehicles trying to avoid road side bombs; and they will still be fully armed. But Obama will no longer call them combat troops, their official name will change; so everything is cool.
The American taxpayer will still be paying their wages and all of the associated expenses, and these poor soldiers will still be stationed overseas away from their families in a hostile country.
But Obama says we will have pulled out all of our combat troops. Some would call this spin. Not me. I say, “Mr. President, you are a lying bastard. Just like you lied about when we would leave Afghanistan.”
