Power Line   ...
"When we arrived in November 2007, in Diyala Province (labeled the Islamic Caliphate of Iraq by the al-Qaeda forces in control) every time any convoy rolled out of the gate, it had a greater than 25 percent chance of enemy contact — IEDs, ambushes, or sniper fire. When we left in late September 2008, that chance was down to approximately 1 percent."
... "Fortunately, our presidents, both Republican and Democrat, preserved our hard-won success in South Korea. It wasn’t the easy thing to do, but it was the right thing.

"President Obama opted for the easy thing. In doing so, he has given away what brave Americans gave their life to win.

                27. President Obama responsibly ended the war in Iraq.

Then there is this one:
28. He announced a plan to end the war in Afghanistan and transition security responsibility to the Afghan people.
Another testimony to the honor and integrity of this president who was the darling of Hollywood, academia, the media, and all low-information voters everywhere:

31. Through the President’s historic increases in Veterans Affairs funding, he has expanded and improved healthcare and job training access for our returning veterans.
