I got an email the other day, it was short and provocative, it was from a life long, unabashed, unapologetic Democrat.
" Just so you know the Iraq war ends today, the leaders from Iraq didn't attend the cerrmony??? Gee I wonder why?? We did such a good job???"
So I asked back, why? I wonder why too.
"Just like I told you many times before, I never saw an Iraqi on tv saying how glad they were to have us there??? Only you and George were glad???"
Here is a link to a letter from the Iraqi President in 2006.
How did we get here from there?
You have to look no further than the White House. Mr. Obama's White house.
Michele Bachmann said it best, he had victory on a silver platter and screwed it up.
Yet, I don't think Obama was unintentionally degrading the relationship between our two countries. He knew exactly what he was doing, and he knew it would never be questioned by his voting blocks.
The war in Iraq, despite bipartisan origins, became a place where Democrats would never allow a specter of glorious success linger too long. The "failed war plan" mantra began just days into operations, their hand was shown early and they never folded.

Democrats and their cohorts were quite successful in framing the situation, at least to their kindred souls in the Unions, AARP, and Green jeans, as a fruitless mission, destined for failure, and sure to be unappreciated.
And that is exactly what they have today.
Why would no Iraqi leaders be at the ceremonies? Maybe that is just how it was destined to be with a Democrat in the White House.
What should be questioned is how this President squandered a bond like we had, if only for a glorious moment in time, for political purposes, at the cost of so much of our national treasure, both human and monetary.
For years the left complained about the waste of our treasures, well its assured now isn't it? All that vigilance during Bush's term went to naught as soon as one of their own were given the keys to the office.
Thanks for what? Being malcontent and subversive for eight years and then oddly quiet thereafter? Why?
That answer lies in a perplexing disposition that places party above country, rationality subservient to propaganda.
