"The Fantasy of a Residual Force in Iraq

One of the comments I frequently hear is that the Obama Administration should somehow have convinced the Maliki government to enter into a new status of forced agreement that would have kept a residual U.S. force in place in Iraq for years, perhaps forever, with the express or implied argument that such a residual force would have somehow overcome sectarian tensions within the country and prevented a renewed civil war. Many of those making the argument fail to mention the fact that the withdrawal date that was followed by President Obama was negotiated by President Bush. I appreciate Tom Ricks' position on a residual force, specifically that although he had thought it would have been a good idea at the time, if possible, in retrospect it would have been a costly mistake -- with the present sectarian warfare, U.S. forces would have required significant reinforcement, or would have had to withdraw from combat, with either of those outcomes being worse for the U.S. than leaving the conflict to the incompetent hands of the Iraqi army.

At the time the Obama Administration was attempting to negotiate a new status of forces agreement, the American public didn't want to keep combat troops in Iraq, the Iraqi public didn't want our forces there, and the Maliki government also wanted the U.S. out."

2. No thank you.

Just give him a rifle and a one way plane ticket!
Mission accomplished!

[atreides1]

3. Why?

So he can make statements and sign documents for the enemy, like he's already done!!!

[RoccoR5955]

4. No, so he can

come back in a box!
Sheesh, do I have to spell it out?

[Jefferson23]

5. The straight bullshit express..that's McCain. n/t

[Marie Marie]

6. Just one word about McCain's judgement:

Palin! 'Nuff said.

[progressoid]

7. I didn't hear what he said, but it doesn't matter.

It was likely stupid so, yeah, fuck him.

[Beaverhausen]

8. Didn't he meet with ISIS in January?

Fuck him

[Cleita]

9. No thanks.

That would be an undesirable experience on so many levels.

[LuvNewcastle]

10. #1 He's way too old for me.

#2 I think he's in the advanced stages of syphilis. That would explain his behavior.

[treestar]

11. He gets dumber by the day

And older.

[killbotfactory]

12. The Islamic State started as a terrorist organization fighting our occupation.

Shit was going to go down regardless of when we left.

[Cali_Democrat]

13. America really dodged a bullet in 2008

Imagine Prez McCain and VP Palin....

[madamesilverspurs]

14. I ask again:

John McCain ---

Graduated at the bottom of his class at Annapolis.

Lousy pilot, crashed how many planes?

Hot-shot antics injured how many fellow servicemen?

Shot down (that does suck), became POW (also sucks),
came home as result of prisoner exchange.


And he's considered a military EXPERT???

[ChisolmTrailDem]

15. mccain? Isn't that the Arizona dude who is the current press secretary for MIC & Finance? nt

[jillan]

17. elleng - did I hear him right? Did he say the President doesn't know what he is talking about?

I was too busy screaming at my tv for Msnbc having him on.... but I swear I thought I heard him say that.

[elleng]

18. Yes, he did,

and a lot of other bs, jillan. I don't think I'll look at it again.


but I did catch a bit of him chastising Jay Carney on CNN (My finger slipped, I never watch it) for not knowing what he (Carney) was saying. Have a drink first, if you try to go there. I'm @ classical arts now.

[jillan]

19. Why does he get away with this? I am outraged. I really am.

Here - I'll join you...

[elleng]

20. Thanks.

There's no one to call him on it, and when Carney tried to, mccain just talked over him.

[jillan]

21. And McCain is getting praise all over the internets for making Carney look bad....

[elleng]

22. a*hole.

I hope Carney's ok, and cnn supports him.

[moondust]

23. They've concocted a wonderful little fairy tale.

Trying to cover their incompetent, belligerent asses for their Iraq debacle that was perhaps the biggest mistake in the history of U.S. foreign policy. Johnny Wargrubber even claims "WE WON" the war in Iraq.

[JEB]

24. Always a K&R for FU to

5 lost planes Reverse Ace McCain.

[AtomicKitten]

25. He's really an insufferable piece of work.

The way he talked to Carney on CNN was beyond the pale, like he was yelling at home to get off his lawn.

[Cha]

26. Fuck off McCain and the Wobbly old war neo-con War Wagon you rode in on..
