The precipitous withdrawal is unfortunate. It's more than unfortunate. I think it's tragic. It puts at risk many of the victories that were hard-won by the men and women who have served there. I hope the risk is not realized. I hope instead that the Iraqis are able to pick up the baton, and despite the fact that we will have walked away on a too-rapid basis.Even The New York Times has this fact correct. These aren't the only outright lies Obama has been repeating ad nauseum both on the campaign trail and in his TV ads. Obama continues, for instance, to claim that Mitt Romney has proposed a "$5 trillion tax cut for the wealthy." This is, of course, an outright fantasy as Patrick Brennan reported earlier this month. That isn't all. Obama has issued a passel-full of lies about Paul Ryan's Medicare reform proposals, as well. For more, John Nolte has also explored Obama's constant campaign trail lies about Mitt Romney. It seems it's been one lie after another for team Obama since the beginning.
