WaPo op-ed calls out latest Obama lie: not his decision to pull out of Iraq.

It's not as simple as that, but ultimately he could have shoved them down the Iraqi's throats. Some Presidents would have. They gave him the cover he needed to do what he wanted to do, however.

Hasn't worked out too well for most of the power players--especially those in power in Iraq at the time.

Some of our servicemembers who would have died between now and then--or just lost some legs and a few feet of intestines--are probably better off. The mission and our foreign policy from 2001-on have absolutely gone to hell, though.

That wasn't the Iraqi's decision?

WaPo commenters are calling Rubin a liar because it was Bush's SOFA.

I bet those dumbasses also praise Obama for "bringing our troops home."

The blind loyalty to Obama is disturbing.

No SOFA makes it hard for the military to stay, short of a full occupation. That would have meant many more troops plus not exactly good image to project.

Why would anyone remotely believe anything this guy says? Even with irrefutable video evidence that he ran on the premise that his removal of the troops from Iraq would be his first order of business after becoming president, he has the nerve to say it wasn't his decision! And over and over after he became president he bragged about how he removed the troops from Iraq and ended the war, but now that it's going to hell, he had nothing to do with it!
Is everyone on crazy pills? How can the press not hold him to this?
I was just rereading 1984 and Winston was editing one of the newspapers to delete a particular story and rewrite it's outcome and I thought about our press and Obama. He can say or do whatever he wants and contradict himself multiple times, but whatever he says at the moment is truth and all else is false? It's unbelievable really that people stand for this crap and he isn't hauled away in a straightjacket like he deserves.
The man is a pathological liar and lunatic with obvious mental problems.
This is the same man that sat in Jeremiah Wright's Church for 23 years and claims he didn't know what was being preached and was allowed to slide!
He lied about, " you can keep your doctor if you want your doctor!"
But he single handily killed Osama Bin Laden! That is unless circumstances could change and it would become a negative. Then suddenly like a blot of lightning, he would no longer have had any doing in Bin Laden's death!
Maybe we have just slipped into the Twilight Zone and no one has told me?!
