What ever goes, spin, spin spin.
It is not about what Obama said during his campaign speeches. It is about what he is saying NOW. The CLAIM is that ALL combat troops have been withdrawn, and "only" 52,000 NON-combat troops being left in place as military "advisers". It's a lie. Striker units are COMBAT units. They conduct COMBAT operations. And there are a whole bunch of them left in Iraq.
I have heard and fought under those same words. They are a fucking lie. You accept the lies and even defend them. You fucking BET I am full of hate for those words. Thousands of soldiers DIED for those words in a bullshit war. I have a stainless steel and plastic hip because of those words. Many more will die in Iraq under those words over aan exended period of time, and all we get from idiots like you is "thank goodness it's finally over..." No use protesting against a war that is "over" is there? Like I said, they handed you a line of shit and you ate it like candy.
You're blind. You'll accept anything from that WH twit that you agree with, without recognizing he is little different in the essentials than the big fucking twit that was his predecessor. Politically it's all about labels, and you accept them.
And if you had one microgram of self honesty, you KNOW if Bush had withdrawn troops down to 52,000 and claimed combat troops were gone with only "advisers" left you'd be calling him a liar with your loudest voice from the highest rooftops.
That makes you a partisan hypocrite.
And Obama is still a fucking liar.
