C-SPAN is carrying the House in session live right now. I think the main C-SPAN channel joins the Obama statement live. http://www.c-span.org/live/

Question: Do you regret not leaving behind a residual force?
Obama: It wasn't our choice. It was the choice of the Iraqi government that we could not leave a residual force, you fucking asshat.
