"Obama wanted to withdraw the troops in 16 months STARTING 18 MONTHS AGO."

So? He also was opposed to the war in the first place. That obviously didn't happen.

For over a year he has been talking from the day he takes office. Assuming, of course, he does.

"Because we pursued the policy McCain supported of the troop surge, and for NO OTHER REASON, a withdrawal within a two-year time frame is now possible."

Not true. The Anbar Uprising is the main reason. How you can argue with this simple fact is beyond me. Even Petraeus credits it.

"Why are you having a hard time with this simple concept?"

Other than the fact it isn't true, I dunno.

"Had we done what Obama wanted, we would have lost the war in Iraq and AQ and Iran would now be in control of Iraq."

Oh God. Talk about retconning history.

If we had done what Obama wanted done, we wouldn't have been there in the first place.

"Talk about revisionism! You guys are two-faced."

Projecting again, i-node. You have to watch that.
