So, Republican Tea Party (GOTP) Congressional darling Allen (Walter E. Kurtz) West is saying he’s “very concerned” about President Obama’s announcement that American troops in Iraq will be brought home before the end of the year, saying it was another “campaigner-in-chief decision.”
Problem for former United States Army Colonel West – who was forced to retire after discharging his weapon next to a prisoner’s head who he’d threatened to execute – is that nobody really cares what his opinion is; and of course the fact the agreement to withdraw troops was signed by the previous occupant of the White House – one of the few things Bush did right concerning the war in Iraq.
You’d think as a member of the House Armed Services Committee, Kurtz would know who’d signed what, but as a GOTP Congressman, facts just never seem to matter; no matter though – whether Bush or President Obama initiated the withdrawal, it’s the right thing to do. How long would conservatives have us stay there?
West’s a dolt who’s destined to be a one term wonder – he wants to portray himself as some wonderful military/national security expert but he’s somewhere just south of Looney Toonville, something he has in common with an awful lot of the Tea Party darlings in Congress.
