We are sticking with the 2012 withdrawal date set by the Bush administration and the Iraqi government will not grant immunity to the very troops who liberated their nation from a tyrant.
Time to come home.
Obama HUSSEIN LIES to the American Public and the World yet again as he tries to destroy Western Civilization and replace it with 1st Century A.D. ISLAMIC SATAN WORSHIP and Barbaric Sharia Law!!!!!! Wake UP!! AMERICA!!!
Narcissistic, incompetent, fatherless, boob doesn’t know the meaning of truth.
Have fun Iraq, bye now! Don’t expect a Christmas card.
It should have been “Here's the deal. Our guys get full immunity and the ability to build permanent bases anywhere. In return, we won't drop a JDAM on your sorry ass.”
Why is it I get the feeling that this immunity issue was hatched by the Obama administration to give them cover for pulling the troops out. After a trillion dollars and thousands of lives, the left has once again snatched defeat from the jaws of victory,
This admin said they wanted immunity for the troops..........................since when do they care about the troops? Just a lame excuse to make it seem like he kept a campaign promise. The deal was set already.
This isn’t actually Obama’s fault. My perception is that a majority of Iraqi factions each saw American withdrawal as a chance to grab dictatorial power without pesky GI’s getting in the way. Bottom line is that Iraq will probably end up with a Saddam-style dictator within a decade. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. I believe we will soon discover that some countries get the leadership they deserve, that Saddam was the natural outgrowth of Iraqi culture.
Soon to be another client state of Iran.
The Lyin’ King is jess doin’ what comes naturally for him.
Would be interested to know any Freepers take on the Iraqi Dinar trending from all this. Know more than a few people who seem to fantasize they will make millions.... or that this is how the US govt. will make up its 14 trillion in debt (by cashing in the millions in dinars it holds in exchange for cheap iraqi oil.. at least that is the “pitch” they tell me. Oh, and another one- the only reason this hasn’t already cashed in big is because of this al-Maliki PM—really). Freepers in the know, or of an opinion on this? The Iraqi dinar is traded through money service bureaus, and not exchangeable in any US bank.
In no way has anything obama is saying on this been the actual truth. tet68 is onto something about sharia. Since obama is a pussy, he could not and would not insist on immunity period. On that note, our troops do not have immunity in Germany or in Japan bases, while off base.
All in all,a shiite led Iraq will tend to lean to Iran’s influences, and in so doing, in a country that is largely Sunni— you will soon have civil war..again. And then another saddam like clown, whom we will have to court to get iraqi crude. All very distressing.
