What does it take for Boehner to begin Articles of Impeachment for the Democrat’s Obama?

This will literally be a fight for their lives.

Getting captured by ISIS forces is a very poor option.

Remember when we met in 2007 @BarackObama? You said you were proud of our sacrifices. So why did you throw them away? pic.twitter.com/NYrX8Xllbx

My son was in Mosul. .he and his fellow soldiers are in shock - but not even a little bit surprised . From their view this was entirely predictable given the policies of this administration. Lives ended ..others forever scarred. All given for....what. ..that’s what they’re asking tonight.

I’ve not read much in depth yet about how this mess in Iraq has happened - but it strikes me as the result of planning and preparation. And serious financial resources. Did you notice the large number of NEW trucks Isis is driving?

Prayers up.

The country hasn’t been listening to what Obama has always said from the beginning — that when the chips were down he would side with the muzzies. SIDE with them.

When he lies, they don’t believe him and when he speaks the truth, they ignore it or don’t pay any attention.

One result of this may be Kurdish independence.

Another result may be a defacto partition of Iraq into Kurdish, Sunni, and Shia countries. Which was one of the alternatives suggested early on but it wasn’t politically possible at the time. The Kurds have had their defacto autonomy but maybe now is the time to declare it openly.

Or, maybe Iran rolls in and its katy-bar-the-door.

Got to be alive to spend it....

Most of those guys are plumbers, electricians, and other tradesmen. Not gunfighters.

Kurdish independence? I fear Kurdish liquidation. And the Kurds, in general, are some of the nicest people on the planet.

The lottery of birth. I feel sick.

Maybe. I hope you're wrong though you are very right to worry. They don't have many friends. I do notice that the Kurds have been keeping the jihadis out of Kurdish areas even in Syria. As Syria and Iraq are shaken this makes an independent Kurdistan even more logical and necessary.

Incorporating parts of Syria has become possible and necessary in a way that it wasn't until now.

Since the Turks, the Saudis, and State seem to be cooperating in this little adventure, and certainly the Turks have no interest in any such thing. So they may get squeezed. But I don't think there is any going back for them anymore. They only went through the motions with "united" Iraq up until now. I don't think they will even bother to pretend much longer.

Mind you, I'm just thinking out loud. I obviously don't know that I'm right.

No, no! That's Afghanistan! That has nothing to do with the islamist blitzkreig in Iraq.

That's next month.

(There's no connection, like a common ideology. And they don't have phones and computers and stuff so they can't coordinate n' stuff...I think...right?)

ISIS are useful fodder for the Baathist hard core organizing this. Look up Izzat Ibrahim. No way some hot headed terrorists in pick ups organized this. This will be played out soon enough. Baghdad could fall; there is a reason the Shia were dominated so long, they lack unity.

Turkey, a NATO member (why ?), won’t allow a Kurdish state.

Wonder how many American’s in Iraq will be taken captive for ransom or more prisoner exchanges thanks to Obama’s release of the Gitmo five?

Is Hussein creating the “new caliphate”, from right out of our White House?
