You are going to see a lot more of this. The MSM and RATS want us out and they finally realized that in order for us to leave, we have to win.

The RATS will make sure that the MSM says that the RATS forcing Bush to change tactics was the key to the victory and if he listened two years ago, we would have already been out of there.

Of course Hillary will not have to answer for it. Guess that is why she never apologized. And notice all the non-binding stuff never went binding and that the budget for the military was not touched.
