I despise Obama as much as the next guy, but......
The damned Iraqis should be able to handle these insurgents. Instead, they're running like hell with their tails between their legs.
We spend YEARS training and equipping them. They should be able to fight. An insurgent group should'be be able to topple two cities almost unopposed.
We as Americans can't want a modern and successful Iraq more than the Iraqis do.

All you people who died and suffered fight for Iraq.
You did it all for nothing.

Just like the fall of Vietnam. Orcestrated by Treasonous Democrats Once again.When the war on terror started, the big Democrat talking point was that it would be "another Vietnam". Well they have made it so. They have done it before, and would rather throw a nation to the wolves than be wrong.

The way events are unfolding is reminiscent of Vietnam in March and April 1975 and Cuba in mid-December December 1958.
All of the sudden, Fidel’s forces came out of the mountains and started taking over Cuban cities.
Batista’s forces were on the run and on New Year’s Day 1959 the Communists (who the “New York Times” and Communist sympathizer reporter Herbert Matthews chose to portray as freedom fighter led by a “George Washington” named Fidel Castro) rolled into Havana.

Ever wonder why EVERY decision that he makes is detrimental to the USA? Seems to me that if he was just honestly stupid, at least a few of his choices would actually be beneficial- but can anyone point to any beneficial actions of BHO?

"Until we realize that Jesus is Lord and go fight these bastard with the determination to rid them the devils victory , we lose. Im very Sad."Until we ALL understand that the bastard that we need to fight is an illegal alien from Kenya with a photo-shopped birth certificate, nothing will change. I'm not sad, I'm pissed.

The fall of South Vietnam and the accompanying waves of refugees gave us some good restaurants and (mostly) good kids for our local schools.
The coming wave of Iraqi refugees is going to give us more Islam, more "home-grown" terror, and more Democrats.

Obama doesn't care. Iraq is all Bush's fault. It doesn't matter that Obie F’ed everything up from 2009 on, it's ok if millions die, it's not his fault.
I think doing nothing will just make the whole middle east realize they can do whatever they want. I'm not for boots on the ground, but do SOMETHING.Show some leadership! Before you now it we'll be standing alone against a new Muslim Empire. And there will be nothing we can do about it.

Have we even heard from Bozo yet or is he off golfing and collecting donations while the world burns?

There will be a "Fall of Baghdad" within a week, much like the Fall of Saigon in 1975. Since I am a Vietnam vet, that has always left a bad taste in my mouth.
