Allen West was on with Greta tonight to talk briefly about Lone Survivor and Al Qaeda in Iraq. West pointed out he was there in Fallujah and Ramadi in 2005 where many American soldiers lost their lives and said it is absolutely offensive to him to see the Al Qaeda flag flying there, and all because of politics. He said if we had left a residual force there with specific combat missions, at the advice of our commanders on the ground, it would be different in Fallujah and Ramadi. Instead, he said, we played politics with the lives of our men and women on the ground.
