When someone says "even in Iraq, America sought to work within the international system. We did not claim or annex Iraqs territory. We did not grab its resources for our own gain. Instead, we ended our war and left Iraq to its people in a fully sovereign Iraqi state that can make decisions about its own future." and a rational person doesn't question the disconnect, good grief.
Did I wake up in an alternate universe or is President Obama saying that we didn't bomb the shit out of Iraq, occupy it for several damn YEARS, and enforce our military rule upon them? I think you need to sit down with several thousand disabled vets that did exactly that in Iraq. I think you need to sit down with the thousands more that thankfully came home mostly intact, and the ones that came back in coffins.
WTF?
