Senators David Vitter, Joe Lieberman, Lindsey Graham and John McCain joined in a letter to the Senate Armed Services Committee to ask the Committee to hold a hearing on the Obama's administration decision to bring home almost all remaining U.S. troops from Iraq by the end of the year. They said the withdrawal is likely to be viewed as a strategic victory by our enemies in the middle east, especially by the Iranian Regime.
Those four senators stated reason is a slap in the face to our men and women in uniform who gave so much in a war those four senators supported over WMD that did not exist. Who cares if the world thinks it is a strategic victory by our enemies. Those senators certainly did not care that the war was a major strategic blunder when they supported the war. As for Iran, the war brought Iran and Iraq closer together so the supporters of the war were the ones who committed the biggest strategic blunder of them all.
McCain a veteran, has failed to understand what war is all about. Graham and Vitter served in the reserves to dodge the draft so they would not be called to active duty. Bush landed on an aircraft carrier and proclaimed the war in Iraq was mission accomplished. Those four senators must not have said a word to Bush when he made that statement. Bush himself could have landed on a real aircraft carrier in combat during the Viet Nam war but he was busy skipping his duties in the Air National Guard. Lieberman does not have a service record that I can find, so he tries to talk tough at the expense of our troops.
President Obama's decision to end the war was the right decision. The unnecessary war over WMD that did not exist destabilized Iraq and gave Al Queda an opportunity to operate in Iraq and kill Americans. The U.S. has the military power and know how to take care of its interest and national security without occupying Iraq.
The Senate Armed Service Committee should tell those four senators to take a hike, or pick up a rifle and go to Iraq themselves.
