I wonder how many heads are exploding at DU, MoveOn, Code Pink, HuffPo and DailyKos? Their “magic negro” (h/t LA Times) is about to spill “blood for oil”.
I’m sure they’ll find a way to as PJ O’Rourke put it, “Give War a Chance.”
“It is my assessment that those risks are even greater if we continue to occupy Iraq and serve as a magnet for not only terrorist activity but also irresponsible behavior by Iraqi factions,” he said.”
Assuming he is acting out of ignorance and not intent, that is the key fallacy in his view: That we are the evil magnet. No concept of how a strong military presence deters evil, and is the only way to deter evil.
Just a while ago he wanted to start a war with Syria over mass killing. Be it in Hondora, Egypt, Ukraine, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Israel - Obama is supporting the wrong side
Then he goes and puts Samantha Power in top positions. Her political hobbyhorse has always been exactly that - using US military power to interdict 3rd world genocides.
The nobel peace prize winner strikes again!
Its called moral equivocating... a practice that gives a man a god-like aura. The left and Obama are so blinded by it, they have no means to truly judge the difference between good and evil. God says, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil”... and He also says He will turn any nation into hell if they forget Him... the whole world is set on fire of hell right now... Come quickly Lord Jesus!!
I was actually for getting out of Iraq over genocide before I was against it.
