Thoughts on Obama's Iraq Address

I watched President Obama's Oval Office address on the end of combat operations in Iraq.

Although Obama had kind words for our soldiers (and even for President Bush) if Obama had his way their efforts would have never come to pass and their sacrifices would have been all for naught. Words like "surge" and "victory" passed through Obama's lips only once.

And what was with the domestic policy speech?

Yet what can one expect of someone who referred to the War in Iraq as "a dumb war" even while Saddam Hussein was still in power?
