Sen. John McCain continued his blistering attack on President Barack Obama’s handling of Iraq on Friday, again calling for his entire national security team to be replaced and saying his decisions have been very costly.No, Senator. Not "the president." The country.

Three in Four Americans Back Obama on Iraq Withdrawal
Republicans more likely to disapprove than approve
Americans widely support President Obama's recent decision to withdraw nearly all U.S. troops from Iraq by the end of the year, with 75% approving. That includes the vast majority of Democrats and independents. Republicans, however, are slightly more likely to disapprove than approve.
Oh, and since I know you're going to pull the same diva act eventually with regard to Afghanistan if given half a chance, here are the numbers on that withdrawal:
And, in fact:
Solid majorities of Democrats, Republicans and independents support the decision, although Republicans are significantly less enthusiastic.So, apart from the members of your party, these were decisions that the American people backed almost universally. So shut the hell up.

Please by now all in this world should know McCain never knows the facts.
John "America's Shittiest Living Fucking Fighter Pilot (the rest are all long dead)" McCain, is like a jilted JHS girl, doing whatever's possible to muck up the rival's life!
Cue "Bad Girls"...
"The president wanted out and now we are paying a heavy price,"
and what price is that you douchenozzel? having to listen to you and your lying friends complain about it?
we did not "lose" Falluja, or Mosul or Bumfart, Sulaymaniyah! we did not own them. shuut up you windbag who wanted to stay there for fifty years... when they wanted us to LEAVE!!
McCain led the idiots wanting to "further" the war on fundamentalist terrorists by taking down Iraq, a secular government with a woman and a Christian in the Saddam cabinet, no burksas, and no sharia law. Sure Saddam was a brutal strongman, but nothing but such rule could hold the bitterly divided factions together. Democracy for Iraq was always a joke. But Iraq was a bastion of resistance to our actual enemies, but Cheney wanted Iraq oil, and 9-11 was an excuse. It was inevitable that creating disorder in Iraq would bring horrendous consequences as we may be seeing right now.
2/3rd of Americans so it's [Iraq] not worth fighting...
"So?" Dick Cheney
What do polls say about American sentiment, today?
I don't recall what they said when Ford asked Congress to send millions in military aid to stop the NVA conquering South Vietnam, and they refused.
@ Unknown, too right. People warned at the time, but the nuts in the White House and all their running dogs weren't listening.
Of course, if McCain had had his way, back in the day, we would still be fighting in Vietnam or we would long since have eradicated the entire Vietnamese people, North and South, rather than just give it up and go home.
