From a reliable source on Twitter and ISIS itself. The group has declared that they are aiming to seize the capital of Iraq as it is thrown into chaos due to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s apparent coup. Foreigners, including the US Embassy staff have fled the city. ISIS appears to be pulling forces away from the Kurdish front to face the faltering Iraqi government in Baghdad.

1.) After nearly 6 years of the Obama Military Strategy of CUT AND RUN, which of our current or former Allies have benefited the most?
2.) Which of our enemies have been harmed the most?
3.) Should Obama’s CUT AND RUN Military Strategy continue to be taught at West Point, Annapolis and Colorado Springs?

You mean the coup they gave and nobody came? I don’t think I’ll ever again be able to take “Pundit Press” seriously.

US Embassy staff have fled the city.
And what about the troops we sent in to defend our embassy? Are they still there or did we totally tuck tail and run?

Not exactly a good time to be arguing over who should lead the country.

Obama’s failure to leave a stabilizing force in place effectively squandered a military asset worth a trillion dollars and thousands dead. It would be like a Roman Emperor making great military gains only for his successor to cede it to the barbarians.

Ngo Dinh Diem
I think Al-Maliki looked in the mirror and saw Diem
and that’s why he took matters into his own hands,
wouldn’t surprise me if Obama had decided he was
too much an obstacle.

Obama is Sunni and Maliki is Shiite.
Obama is setting the stage for ISIS to take over Baghdad.

The X-Factor is Iran. Will Iran move in? If indeed they oppose ISIS, this move would not shock me.

Yeah. That was my thought.
Maybe he should hire a food tester.

Never thought I would side with Iran, but in this case I hope they kill these savage Sunni’s.

He has one now—but is ISIS moves on Obama it will not be through poison but something more direct.
To: crazydad
That’s why precisely the Iranians would move, they’ll never have more support for it.
