Romney: Troop Withdrawal Puts Victories At Risk

Mitt Romney issued the following statement today on President Obama’s decision to withdraw troops from Iraq:
“President Obama’s astonishing failure to secure an orderly transition in Iraq has unnecessarily put at risk the victories that were won through the blood and sacrifice of thousands of American men and women. The unavoidable question is whether this decision is the result of a naked political calculation or simply sheer ineptitude in negotiations with the Iraqi government. The American people deserve to hear the recommendations that were made by our military commanders in Iraq.”

Anonymous said...: What puts American troops at risk is continuing military action without an immunity pact with the Iraqi govt... Romney has surrounded himself with some of the same advisers who got us in there. $3-5 TRILLION dollars for a war that was 1) irrelevant to any real "war on terror" and 2) badly planned, no exit strategy BEFORE we went in. Mitts way would be to stay in Iraq INDEFINITELY while cutting low income social safety nets at home. GREAT policy! Good luck with campaigning on STAYING in Iraq...; October 22, 2011 at 1:18 PM
Dan Cirucci said...: Hmmm . . . so apparently you believe foreign policy should be determined by what somebody can campaign on -- what gets votes. Yeah . . . that's a nice policy to determine how to use our troops. Good luck with that. No wonder you wish to remain anonymous.; October 23, 2011 at 2:37 PM
