Obama’s Iraq address: Will you watch it?
I’m still deciding as to whether or not to watch the President’s scheduled address to the nation tonight on the issue of the end to combat operations in Iraq. My hesitation revolves around the fact that I just can’t get over/move beyond how this President – both as a Senator and as a candidate for President, and our Vice President – both as a Senator and as a candidate for President, repeatedly denigrated the mission in Iraq, declared the war “lost,” adamantly opposed the surge even after knowing about its successes, essentially said our troops lives had been “wasted” for a lie, and insinuated time and time again that the Commander in Chief was “opposed to the rule of law” when it came to aggressive interrogation techniques.
