It seems Iran and the Imam Insane Obama have
gotten on the same page.

Christians and those who seek Freedom
in Iraq had better brace themselves.

We wasted a lot of good men there.

The sacrifice was not appreciated by Iraqui’s.

I hope they enjy becoming a satellite of Iran, as the new Mid-East including Egypt, Libya, and Syria ,will soon be.

Blaming Obama may make you feel good, but it solves absolutely no problems. The Iraqis hate Americans and the Bush administration was too stupid to understand that invading Iraq would be a terrible strategic blunder.

What has the US gained from Iraq after losing 5,000 troops and wasting trillions of dollars? Not much. The Chinese and Turks are all over the place grabbing reconstruction contracts. The Shiite Iraqi administration is on best terms with Iran. The Hezbollah-Syria-Iraq-Iran axis is up and running.

Michael Moore was right/sarc. I do think things would have turned out better if we didn’t have an America Hater in the WH. But what do I know?
