Did Obama say that the Iraqis would "greet us as liberators" like your previous comment references? It's amazing how often I see people blaming Obama for shit that Bush did.

i didn't say he said it. wasn't my point though. he was only a part of the same machine. this is about US foreign policy, not what barack personally did or didn't do.

btw it wasn't bush either. I'd get my facts straight if I were trying to "correct" me.
