President Barack Obama has squandered America’s military victory in Iraq, says Rep. Duncan Hunter Jr., California Republican and a former Marine major who served two combat tours of duty in Iraq and one in Afghanistan.
And the squandering of that victory could now lead to wider-than-ever fighting in the Mideast.
“We won the war and it was done,” Mr. Hunter said. “He squandered that military victory for political reasons. This should upset everybody who put a yellow ribbon on their door or put a veterans sticker on their car and everybody who served or had friends or family who served.”
Mr. Hunter made his comments Thursday on “The Ernest Istook Radio Show” on The Washington Times Radio Network.

Mr. Hunter was pessimistic that Congress can do anything to remedy the situation, or reassure other nations that they can rely on the U.S. in the future.
“I don’t think anybody can make this president realize what America’s role in the world should be. Frankly, I think he’s minimized America’s role internationally on purpose. This is what he wants,” said Mr. Hunter.
“I don’t think this president gives a damn. He’s turned his back on all our allies. We need a new president … I don’t want my son to have to go back to Iraq.”
