Why has the Iraq War not ended? Is Bush playing politics with our troops' lives? Should we trust Maliki?
Should we really allow Bush to deploy our troops for another tour simply to help McCain win the 2008 election?
I find this quote both absurd and profoundly disturbing at the same time.
Here is the full quote:
"Actually, the final date was really the end of 2010 and the period between the end of 2010 and the end of 2011 was for withdrawing the remaining troops from all of Iraq, but they [the Bush administration] asked for a change [in date] due to political circumstances related to the domestic situation [in the US] so it will not be said to the end of 2010 followed by one year for withdrawal but the end of 2011 as a final date. Agreement has been reached on this issue. They are willing to respond positively because they, too, are facing a critical situation."
