Our dimwitted Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel testified to the Senate Appropriations Committee today (see: Army Times Story) that the United Stated "phased out" our presence in Iraq under Obama ... leaving no forces behind ... as it now appears that we could have and should have. This obvious political decision ... like so many other seat-of-the-pants miscues from our fearless leader ... is biting him (and us) in the butt ... as ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) is quickly undoing most our victories there.
In the TV series "MASH" there was a term for the quick withdrawal (or retreat) of our troops in a Korean theater ... it was called a "bug out" ... a term I think that Chuckie Baby might better have used today.
