Asked if he had any “regrets” about not leaving a residual force in Iraq, Obama advised reporters to “Keep in mind, that wasn’t a decision made by me. That was a decision made by the Iraqi government.”
Back in 2011, Obama proudly touted the small number of troops remaining in Iraq as one of his foremost accomplishments. “When I came into office,” he boasted at the time, “I pledged to bring the war in Iraq to a responsible end. As Commander in Chief, I ended our combat mission last year and pledged to keep our commitment to remove all our troops by the end of 2011. To date, we’ve removed more than 100,000 troops from Iraq.”

Democrats never take responsibility for anything. Anything.
Teflon Prez
Except for that whole training , equipping, supporting and providing weapons for the al Qaeda ISIS insurgents who are now running wild through Syria and Iraq cutting peoples heads off and committing mass murder of Christians and Shiites.
Obama released the leaders of this insurgency but how can he be blamed for that
Obama has been organizing a community of terrorists who are so violent, unstable , bloodthirsty and psychopathic even their al Qaeda parent group has reservations about them.
And who can forget the Arab Spring that kick started the cycle of violence and instability in the entire region and set the stage for the humanitarian tragedy in Syria and the Tet style invasion/ insurgency of Iraq
Nothing is his fault.
Seriously, who can pin this Obama.
He does , after all , have an alibi.
Everybody knows he was out on a vacation golfing in Palm Springs when this was all going down.
Che Hussein Obama is a Sunni muslim.
If Maliki was a Sunni and his government was favoring fellow Sunni’s then Obama would be laying waste to these rebels.
Bahrain is ruled by a small Sunni minority (about 20%), when they had protest they just machine gunned the protestors and the Saudi’s brought in armed vehicles. Not a peep out of Obama back then. No outrage, no tears shed for Shia plight in Bahrain.
Then you should have taken our equipment out of there, too.
“Present!”
Oh - Wait! That was how he voted while in Illinois. (He wasn’t in the US Senate long enough to vote....)
He tells so many lies he can’t keep them all straight..
If it’d worked, it would have been.
Good message. We need that as a image or down-loadable file.
Is any thing Obastards fault? Is he responsible for any D@MN thing?<>P>Would someone mind finding his testicles, they are really small about the size of BB’s.
Right click on the picture. Save.
Obama: “I voted ‘present’.”
Gee...
In the good old days when you fought a war and won, you set the terms... Not the people you just defeated... You set the terms because you paid in blood and treasure for the right to do so.
But not Obama... Thousands of Americans dead and hundreds of billions spent but no follow up required... A real leader that one...
This would be a good time for Kim Jong Un to ask Obama to remove American troops from Korea’s demilitarized zone, which would allow North Korean soldiers to sweep down and conquer South Korea.
As Obama just reported, when Iraq’s leader asked Obama to remove our troops from his country, he did so. When Vladimir Putin asked Obama not to send missile defense systems to Poland and the Czech Republic, he also complied.
In addition, when Putin asked Obama not to send military strikes against Syria after Syria’s dictator used chemical weapons, Obama again stood down. And it seems clear that when the president of Mexico asked Obama not to build a border fence so that Mexican criminals and other riff-raff would have free access to our country, Obama was perfectly happy to comply.
So what are the North Koreans waiting for? And why haven’t the Chinese asked Obama to withdraw our Seventh Fleet from their region?
The only thing Obama ever refuses to withdraw are our embassy personnel from regions under fire.
He was fit to be tied when he found out on the news that the troops had been pulled out of Iraq.
Words Escape Me!
Well...not really, I just can’t use those words on FR.
Shaddup Barry, you worthless Commie pink fag.
LYIN’ LIBS!
