| The VP Debate Cinches It: Paul Ryan Is Unqualified to Step In as POTUS Posted: 12 Oct 2012 05:04 AM PDT Rep.

And it is hypocritical when Team Obama criticizes Team Romney for wanting to extend the presence of American troops in Iraq. President Obama himself pressed Iraqi officials to permit American troops to stay longer. |
