0 could have prevented it.
The fall of Iraq was unavoidable because the west put in zero effort into stamping out sharia law. It was never going to not return immediately to full blown Islam because no effort of any sort was mounted to create a counter to Islam.
The effort as carried out has been stupid, and the supporters of the wasted effort (without exception) even more stupid.
It’s more than thirty-five years since the Iranian hostage crisis, and most sheep still have no working knowledge of Islam or how it functions.
Yes it was. But the Washington comPost and the rest of the American media refused to give a proper, balanced coverage to Valerie’s man child.
Obama’s strategy is to put on a good show of acting, effecting an airstrike every now and then, or some other ostentatious-but-useless display of force, but otherwise allowing ISIS to prevail on the ground. He’s one hundred percent on their side. Anyone with half a brain knows this. It’s those with less than half a brain that he’s pandering to, and he’s not concerned that the rest of us are on to what he’s doing.
Gees the Iraqi’s just left with out a fight! Krap! And we want to train them again? Send in a few Marines and wipe them out!
This is reminiscent of battles in Viet Nam, where huge amounts of soldiers’ blood and war material were used up to take a certain objective, then the next day, after the objective had been achieved, the force that had been so bloodied so severely is ordered to withdraw.
Longer time span, but we withdrew, and you see the consequences.
The election of Barak Obama was preventable.
All of this was avoidable. O blew it.
“the establishment of a terrorist state with the resources to conduct devastating attacks against the United States and a region-engulfing sectarian war” ... which is what 0 apparently wants. After all, nobody could be this incompetent intentionally...
Au Contraire, as song as we are not being killed nor spending billions to nation build, Obama is doing great. This is a religious war between Shiites and Sunnis. Let them have at it. Why take sides?
“President Obama’s strategy”? really?
I think that's exactly what Obama wants... with the destruction of Israel being at the top of his wish list.
