And now more evidence that Rick Perry is an idiot

PERRY: The idea that a commander-in-chief would stand up and signal to the enemy a date certain of when we’re going to pull our troops out I think is irresponsible. You need to be talking to your commanders in the field. You need to be working with the experts who understand what is going on in those countries, for instance. We need to finish our mission in Iraq and Afghanistan. You better believe I want out kids home as soon as we can and safe. But to give that signal that we’re pulling them out is bad public policy and, more importantly, it’s putting our kids lives in jeopardy[...]

He has lost his standing from the standpoint of being a commander-in-chief who has any idea about what’s going on in those theaters. He’s making mistakes that are putting our kids that in theater and I think future issues dealing with whether it’s in the Middle East or the south China Sea with our allies, putting all of that in jeopardy because of this unwavering, or I should say this wavering or this aimless approach to foreign policy which he has.  Link

President Bush signed an agreement with the Iraqis to pull out American troops in 2011.  The Obama administration negotiated with the Iraqis to stay longer, but those negotiations were unsuccessful.  The Iraqis WANT us out and we supposedly liberated them so they could be their own country.  So Obama is pulling the troops out per our agreement.  What's more, a huge majority of Americans WANT us to pull the troops out.

So just what is Rick Perry advocating here?  I mean, besides his own stupidity.
