Jeremy Scahill on the End of Iraq Combat Operations or Beginning of Rebranded Occupation

President Obama said Monday in a speech before the Disabled American Veterans national convention in Atlanta that the US military is on target to withdraw all its combat troops from Iraq by the end of August.

We should have never gone in. We bankrupted our nation, killed hundreds of thousands, lost thousandsof America's Finest, never found what we were looking for ie WMD's, destroyed our credibility world wide, created laws that reflect a communist regime, let corporations rob us blind and elected a president who's only foriegn policy is I'm sorry, we're all so sorry. We done a bad thing, but hey we're getting out now and our people are paying the bill. Yes, we can, yes we can.
