Obama says U.S. goal is a successful Iraq



Declaring the U.S. goal is a successful Iraq, President Barack Obama on Monday promised economic, diplomatic and military help to Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki after the last American troops leave the Middle Eastern nation by the end of the year.

Notice the structure of the sentence: "Obama says U.S. goal is a successful Iraq", he doesn't say the war in Iraq was successful, he just says our goal NOW is a "successful Iraq."

Exactly what is a "successful Iraq?"

No BS Press questions just how much " economic, diplomatic and military aid" we taxpayers are going to GIVE Iraq which begs another question: How many "private contractors" are going to stay to "help Iraq" and who is going to pay for that?

This is the usual political double speak to which we have grown accustomed. Somebody needs to start asking for specificity and numbers as opposed to accepting these vague, general and ambiguous statements.
