General: Pulling Troops Out 'A Disaster'

Retired Army General John M. Keane on President Obama's decision to pull all American troops out of Iraq by the end of the year:

“I think it’s an absolute disaster. We won the war in Iraq, and we’re now losing the peace.
"Forty-four hundred lives lost. Tens of thousands of troops wounded. Over a couple hundred thousand Iraqis killed. We liberated 25 million people. There is only one Arab Muslim country that elects its own government, and that is Iraq.
“We should be staying there to strengthen that democracy, to let them get the kind of political gains they need to get and keep the Iranians away from strangling that country. That should be our objective, and we are walking away from that objective."
