Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann wasted no time responding to President Obama's announcement that soldiers will be coming from Iraq by the end of the year. She wholeheartedly disagrees with the President's actions. During the sideshows called debates, she never misses a chance to pull the ripcord of misinformation. For starters she says President Obama is weak. Her husband Marcus probably tells her what to say. After all she is a godly Christian woman who is obedient to her husband and God.
Regarding President Obama intentions to bring home soldiers deployed in Iraq, Bachmann stated this in a press release:

| Michele Bachmann |
"Today's announcement that we will remove all of our forces from Iraq is
a political decision and not a military one; it represents the complete
failure of President Obama to secure an agreement with Iraq for our
troops to remain there to preserve the peace and demonstrates how far
our foreign policy leadership has fallen.
In every case where the United
States has liberated a people from dictatorial rule, we have kept
troops in that country to ensure a peaceful transition and to protect
fragile growing democracies. We will now have fewer troops in Iraq than
we have in Honduras – despite a costly and protracted war.
"President Obama's decision represents the end of the era of America's
influence in Iraq and the strengthening of Iran's influence in Iraq with
no plan to counter that influence. We have been ejected from a country
by the people that we liberated and that the United States paid for with
precious blood and treasure. The administration claims that we got
exactly what we needed, but today's announcement demonstrates otherwise.
"The United States needed a working democratic partnership in Iraq and
we should have demanded that Iraq repay the full cost of liberating them
given their rich oil revenues. I call on the president to return to the
negotiating table with Iraq and lead from the front and not from
weakness in Iraq and in the world."
