Michele Bachmann: U.S. got "kicked out" of Iraq  Republican
presidential candidate Michele Bachmann on Sunday joined the
chorus of GOP contenders lambasting President Obama for his
decision to withdraw nearly all troops from Iraqby the end of
the year. She contended that the United States had been "kicked
out" of the country "by the very people we liberated," and that
the decision was "more politically-based than military-based."
Bachmann, in an appearance on CBS' "Face the Nation," said it
would be unwise to withdraw troops from the country while its
political status remained tenuous, and argued that "if you look
at every time we have deposed a dictator, the United States has
always left troops behind to be able to enforce the fragile
peace."  Host Bob Schieffer asked Bachmann, "Do you think,
congresswoman, that the American people, with the budget
situation the way it is, really want to keep a large contingent
of American troops in iraq indefinitely?"  "Of course not. No
one wants to do that," she replied,
