TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARThe Swamp:
Obama called al-Maliki from Air Force One en route to Camp Lejuene, according to the White House, and he called Bush from the base in North Carolina shortly before stepping on stage to spell out his plans.
It was a courtesy call, the White House said.
“Next month will mark the sixth anniversary of the war in Iraq,” Obama told the Marines. “By any measure, this has already been a long war.”
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide. When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
