I could see why republicans are against the withdraw... They run the companies who supply both sides of the war.
Besides, Obama is still a black democrat with a muslim sounding name.
Mitt Romney criticizing Obama's troop withdrawal from Iraq. What won't he do to get a sound bite!

Sadly the GOP front runner jumped all over the President today because he was merely following G.W. Bush's timeline for troop withdrawal in Iraq. He accused the President of letting down the men and women, who served in Iraq, and also of not doing enough to bring peace to that area of the world. Unfortunately he didn't check his facts not to mention that Obama is doing what the overwhelming majority of Americans want done...ending our involvement in that country. The reason is simple Mitt....we can't afford to continue W's war and we can't afford another Republican president!

Romney "He should have done it sooner"
Bachmann "now the government has to spend more $$ to bury him"
Rick Perry "He should have used a bigger gun"
Herman Cain "He interrupted the World Series"
Boehner "He did not ask for the help of the GOP Congress"
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman and radio personality Jay Diamond are right to wonder why Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney got away with rewriting a key chapter of the Iraq War history without political reporters raising a peep.
At the June 5 Republican debate, co-sponsored by CNN, Romney defended George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq in March 2003 on the grounds that Saddam Hussein refused to let United Nations weapons inspectors in to search for WMD.
If Saddam “had opened up his country to I.A.E.A. inspectors, and they’d come in and they’d found that there were no weapons of mass destruction,” the war might have been averted, the former Massachusetts governor said.
But the reality is that Hussein did open up his country through the fall and winter of 2002-03, giving Hans Blix and his U.N. inspection team free rein to check out suspected WMD sites. It was President Bush who forced the U.N. inspectors out in March 2003 so his invasion could proceed.
The answer to the media question of why the U.S. press corps didn’t object to Romney’s bogus account is that Washington journalists have accepted this revisionist history since Bush began lying about the facts in July 2003.
