Anti-American Vile

Today President Obama announced nearly all American troops in Iraq will be home by year's end.  The Pentagon is saying about 150 troops will remain in Iraq to overlook policy arrangements.

This is a huge announcement.  Finally, after almost a decade of war with Iraq, America will be ending its occupation of that country.  This should be great news for all Americans.  Bush's policy of War Without End was never sustainable and helped facilitate the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.  A trillion dollars and thousands of American lives have been spent fighting a war of choice waged by psychopathic madmen.  Finally, shortly after Christmas 2011, it will be over.

But this isn't great news for all Americans.  Pathetic Republicans are furious that their war will come to an end.  They are so furious they are calling the war's finale a "failure" and proof that American foreign policy under the current administration "has fallen."  This is a disgrace to America and to those who have served our country so valiantly.

Treason is really all that can be said to describe these reactions:

Mitt Romney:  “President Obama’s astonishing failure to secure an orderly transition in Iraq has unnecessarily put at risk the victories that were won through the blood and sacrifice of thousands of American men and women,“ Romney said in a statement.

Michelle Bachmann: "Today's announcement that we will remove all of our forces from Iraq is a political decision and not a military one; it represents the complete failure of President Obama to secure an agreement with Iraq for our troops to remain there to preserve the peace and demonstrates how far our foreign policy leadership has fallen."

I'm sure as the day goes on there will be more comments from GOP members that are similar and equally disgusting.  Iraq was a war that never should have happened.  We have no business staying in that country one more day.  The thought that it will soon be over and we will be able to focus more of our resources on our own people is a great thing for this country. Suggesting that we should continue waging war in Iraq is the only defense mechanism the GOP has for failing to come to terms with their legacy of complete and total incompetence.

Anyone that dared call Bush policies a failure, especially his war policies, was immediately labeled anti-American and siding with the enemy by the very people speaking today.  After today's comments listed above there's no reason to sugar coat anything anymore.  The Republican Party has without a doubt climbed into a pit of some of the most despicable anti-American vile ever spoken.  Shame can't even describe what you bring to this country.
