Joe Manchin actually said...

"Our forces should withdraw from Iraq, and the President has made the right call in abiding by the agreement signed by his predecessor."

"Our military withdrawal, as agreed to in the 2008 Security Agreement, sends a clear message to the Iraqi people and the Arab world that the United States keeps its commitments."

"The withdrawal of U.S. forces with Iraqis in charge of their own security and violence at record lows was unimaginable 4 years ago."

"The aim should be setting in place--over the next year--a strong and enduring foundation for normalized ties under the SFA."
