Gareth Porter, independent historian and journalist for Inter Press Service, discusses the latest campaign promise broken by Barack Obama, the semantic removal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq by calling them “advisory and assistance” brigades and Obama’s inability to say “no” to the military or to be truthful about his equivocations.

    I told Samantha Powers at NetrootsNation in summer 08 that Obama wouldn’t pull troops out of Iraq. My arguement was that he would be too scared to do it in case all hell broke loose after the U.S. military left. Oh, no, no, no, she said. Heh.
