As the Iraqi army and al Qaeda-linked militants battle for control of the city of Falluja, Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham are slamming the Obama administration for its Iraq policy.
More than two years after the administration failed to reach a status of forces agreement with Iraq and withdrew all American combat troops from the country, the two senior Republican senators are blaming President Barack Obama for the violence erupting there this week.
While many Iraqis are responsible for this strategic disaster, the administration cannot escape its share of the blame. When President Obama withdrew all U.S. forces from Iraq in 2011, over the objections of our military leaders and commanders on the ground, many of us predicted that the vacuum would be filled by Americas enemies and would emerge as a threat to U.S. national security interests.

Bingo. Send Linda back to the knitting needles.
they are together because they love the limelight and every son needs a father...LOL
McCain’s answer to every problem: Send in the troops, no matter how many deployments they’ve already had.
Meanwhile, he supports the bill to cut veteran pensions.
Oh those crazy love birds. Their names are always mentioned together.
This coming from two traitors who threw our southern border wide open for
Mexican drug lords to wreak havoc on the American people with impunity, and have more allegiance to mexico and the outsourcing lobby than their own country. The ONLY reason juan and linda are still in office is because their illegal alien coyote financiers in the GOPe and DNC continue to back them.
McQueeg once said: “We have nothing to fear from an Obama presidency.” Really?
With that, he’s said quite enough about Obastard. My ears are closed to the arrogant pr**k.
“Iraq’s PM says country ready for U.S. troops to leave”. Maliki said no problem, we don’t need you!. OK... give them some time and then we will check. LOL
Frick and Frack are in a tizzy over their buddy’s antics? Too funny!
Ignore it McCain, the surge worked. Right?
These 2 support the democrats whenever they can, undermining the rest of us. They enjoy doing so.
Seriously? These jackwads should read the Security Agreement and look at the bottom of page 18 to see when it was really signed.
Signed in duplicate in Baghdad on this 17th day of November, 2008, in the English and Arabic languages, each text being equally authentic.

The issue is; Iraq was never going to succeed without a dictator. It will break up.
Any surge always works -— TEMPORARILY.
McLame isn’t up for reelection until 2016. Maybe old age will get him first.
