Adam Putnam Flashback: Iraq War 2005
As published in the Lakeland Ledger:
“You will see fewer Americans in Iraq next June than last June,” he said, “as the Iraqi troops begin to take over.”
-Adam Putnam
Which next June is he talking about here? June 2006.
The above quote is from a Ledger story written by Bill Rufty and published November 29, 2005. The remarks came while Adam Putnam was home in Polk County addressing the Tiger Bay Club.
It’s not a full 18 months since we were supposed to have “less troops” based on the predictions of Adam Putnam. Instead we have an escalating War in Iraq, a military stretched to it’s fullest capacity, and an American Public completely and utterly tired of war.
Oh, and we have Adam Putnam still saying things in Iraq are rosy, and the war must go on.
