Senator Johnson was earlier on MSNBC about Iraq

The host played an old clip where the senator supported withdrawal from Iraq, according to Bush agreement.

But, he added, we should have left a stabilizing force, like we did in Germany and Japan.

Senator, are you aware of the blood feud that has existed in this country for over 1,000 years? Are you aware that the borders of Iraq, and Syria, and Lebanon and Jordan were arbitrarily drawn by Britain after WWI, completely ignoring these tribal wars?

No such think existed in Germany or Iraq. But, hey, why not bash Obama and gain some points with folks back home?
