Obama, With Reluctance, Returns to Action in Iraq [NYT covers for the man child. Again.]
NYT ^ | 8/7/14 | Peter Baker

Posted on 08/09/2014 2:52:09 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

In sending warplanes back into the skies over Iraq, President Obama on Thursday night found himself exactly where he did not want to be. Hoping to end the war in Iraq, Mr. Obama became the fourth president in a row to order military action in that graveyard of American ambition....

Obama made a point of reassuring a war-weary public that the president who pulled American forces out of Iraq at the end of 2011 had no intention of fighting another full-scale war there.

Won't post the whole article, but it is a laughable piece that tries to sound like it is "tough" on Obama's hypocrisy, but showing how he is just sooooo peace loving and really really hates doing what he is doing.

Very little true criticism....here is how far liberal apologist Peter Baker goes:

"To some, this is a crisis Mr. Obama brought on himself by not trying harder to leave a residual force behind at the end of 2011..."

To SOME????? How about every sane strategist, including the prompter-reader's OWN MILITARY ADVISORS???

The level of cult worship in the media for this utter failure of the regime is fascinating.

Let’s keep in mind that ISIS only exists because of Obama’s meddling in Syria and destruction of Libya.

Two bombs do not make a war. No doubt odumbo made it clear that the bombs should not hit anything or anyone. The “NY Trash” paper can write anything the choose, the reality is the “toughness” is only more fabricated lies.

0 pulled the troops out. That’s what allowed Al Qaeda in Iraq to survive and destabilize the government.

There’s no point in doing anything but disaster-prevention until the Iraq constitution is re-worked either practically or purposefully. The former is already the case. Once Iraq is 3 federated states with a weak central government we should get back in there to keep the peace for them and amongst them. Most of them only trust us. They don’t trust each other or the nations around them.

He has a strange concept of peace. Living in fear under the threat of death is not peace.

Note the weasel words. Even the Obamabots at the New York Times must now realize that Obama's current strategy is doomed to failure.

Obama: Could someone please explain to me how this incompetent and complete liar was elected not once but twice?

White vote: Obama could not have won without a large number of white votes, especially white women, so were these white voters, especially the women, so intent on not being called racists that they voted for this incompetent liar twice, even though they secretly knew that Obama had no idea what he was doing? Sad. Very sad.

Yazidi Member of Iraqi Parliament “Fiyan Dakheel” (of the Kurdistan Alliance) collapses in tears after calling upon Humanity to rescue the Yazidis from Genocide. The Iraqi Parliament came together on 5 August 2014 to discuss the latest developments inside Iraq.

(Video at link)

Obama has become a mouse that tried to roar and he barely even squeaked, he suffers from a horrid leftist ideological disease which threatens our nation and international order.

The West should be fighting ISIS with all we have got, and Obama is not even forming a coalition of states to stop these MSM hidden crimes against humanity.The MSM is just NOT covering this. Meanwhile WWIII looms over the world. Its 1925 all over again.

Obama is just paying lip service to stopping these barbarians. Obama needs to be pilloried.He should be organizing a coalition to stop them, but now he has no friends in the ME, except the Muslim Brotherhood. We cannot allow this to continue.

In 2008, the United States crossed the Rubicon from Constitutional Republic to Idiocracy.

Reluctant to help the Kurds & Christians in Iraq, not to hesitant to help the muslim brotherhood in Egypt.

Egypt has not dissolved the 'political party'.

Yeah, except the prior Presidents had a state run by Saddam, with the worlds 4th largest standing army, NBC weapons and Russian backing to deal with. Obama has only the defeat he snatched from the jaws of victory to deal with. Not quite the same.

I had just read that too, fingers got ahead of my thoughts.

Egypt and now Israel both say 'Thanks, but No Thanks!' to Obama & Kerry.
