Of course, Ann Coulter was disgusted by the President’s mention of intelligence gathering and thinks the US pissed away Iraq (let’s just ignore who and how we were in Iraq in the first place, shall we?)

The man who pissed away Iraq should not be allowed to mention the Sons of Liberty, Code Breakers or any other serious military operation.
