We’re One Step Away From Setting A Withdrawal Date In Iraq
Iraq’s Council of Representatives just passed today an agreement with the United States that would have all combat operations completed in Iraq, and Iraqi security forces in full control, in just a little over seven months. A withdrawal of all US personnel from Iraq (outside of permanent diplomatic personnel who would man our embassy there, I’m presuming) in three years.
This agreement now has to go through the final step of being approved by Iraq’s Presidency Council, but at this point I think that’s just a formality.
This is the goal we’ve been shooting for all along in Iraq. It is victory. We defeated the terrorists, protected the fledgling Iraqi government until it could stand on its own, and now we’re setting a date to leave the country much better off than when we invaded.
And all of that happened because we didn’t listen to defeatist Democrats like Barack Obama.
The sad thing is that this may end up being the least celebrated US military victory of all time. The left/media (same thing) invested so much of themselves in the idea that Iraq was a lost cause that now they aren’t about to admit that they were wrong all along.
They should, but they won’t.
