.....Obama is constructing a strategy for an increasingly complex war he never wanted to enter. And allies in the region are skeptical....

The reluctance of crucial countries like Turkey and Saudi Arabia exposes a big flaw in Obama's plan: He can't "degrade and destroy" ISIS without going into Syria but the U.S. can't beat ISIS in Syria without a ground force....

"The U.S. and the West have avoided the Syrian conflict for two years, essentially permitting the conditions that spawned ISIS," said Clint Watts, counterterrorism expert at the Foreign Policy Institute.

The Obama administration's nominal partner on the ground in Syria is the Free Syrian Army, which Obama has repeatedly disregarded as "an opposition made up of former doctors, farmers, pharmacists, and so forth."

We’ve been getting it wrong since we blundered into the sandbox. Taking out dictators in the Middle East is like dynamiting a dam rather than opening the floodgates. It’s not good for the fish, and it kills everything in its path.

What don’t we know?

The photo in your #16 is reminiscent of the photos I recall from Germany, circa 1933.

No I am talking about the dead tortured body

Where his allegiance lies.

No one dares to ask him, point blank.

Wait until Obama hears about this. Nobody is madder than him, I tell ya! Heads will roll!

I hope he doesn't have to write an angry letter!

[stanne]

We don’t need to. It’s in his book, in his actions and in his personal history, his name, his family, his upbringing

We don’t need approval from the media for thoughts and opinions based on empirical fact

Denial ain’t just a river in Africa

LMAO!

Look at the picture again. He’s not dead. He’s screaming and the one guy is holding him down. It looks like they are using a cattle prod on his genitals. They are torturing him.

[353FMG]

You’re one of the few paying attention when none of our congress critters are.

Or perhaps they’re just more interested in keeping their jobs than guaranteeing the security of this nation.

Ping to picture.

>>>>>None of this Shi’ite would be happening if Sadam was left be.<<<<<

So you think we should have left Sadom alone after he tried to kill a former president of the United States or to violate the cease fire agreement repeatedly?

That's guano. That photo dates back to at least 2009.

Stevens was extracted from the smoke-filled building by Libyan curiosity seekers, who transported him to the Benghazi Medical Center, where doctors worked on him for about 40 minutes, without success. According to the docs, his injuries were limited to smoke inhalation.

The BMC docs didn't know who he was until they contacted the US Embassy in Tripoli by calling numbers on his cell phone. The Embassy was afraid to send someone to retrieve the body. Eventually, some friends of a Libyan contact known as Babakar transported Stevens's body to the airport and turned it over to US officials.

For the first time in my lifetime, I am really ashamed of my country.

And if one letter doesn't do it... he might write another!!

Or he may text it in caps to make sure they get it sooner.
