The fact is that we did go to war (as a country, with bipartisan congressional and international approval). And we "won" the war - we achieved our tactical and strategic objectives. When it was politically expedient, the left shamefully turned on our troops and our commanders, including our Commander in Chief. The final act of their betrayal was Obama's failure to negotiate an agreement with the Iraqi government to keep a U.S. presence in the country that would likely have allowed us to better control the situation on the ground and protect our hard fought victory (and defend an important ally). Obama's and the left's intentional abandonment of Iraq has eroded all that those who fought and died for.

We can't change the past but neither should anyone be allowed to rewrite history. Whether you agreed with the war in the first place or not, many good Americans died to achieve the victory that Obama has more than given away - he has allowed a far worse situation to metastasize. Remember his mealy-mouthed, feckless and shameful betrayal of our troops and their sacrifices when (yes, when) another 9/11 style attack is planned and launched from the new terrorist safe-haven that is Iraq.
