VICTORY????
All that time and money and most importantly all those precious American lives have been wasted.
They’ll always be inhuman savages. No more lies of spreading democracy with American blood in their god-forsaken countries.
Obamah, in a year, will have given the world a radicalized islamic Egypt, Libya, Syria and with all troops removed from Iraq, it too will fall victim to islamic radicalization.
That's some foreign policy you have there Bari.
What was the refrain back in the 60s? Give Peace a Chance? Iraq will soon erupt in wave after wave of sectarian violence.
Years ago I took the trash out. Bottom of the bag ripped open and one T-Bone fell out. Unfortunately, I had two Dobermans. Never ever, drop One T-Bone in front of TWO Dobermans! This, in a nut-shell, is what will soon happen in Iraq. I of course hope I'm wrong....
George Orwell said, “The fastest way to end an war is to lose it.”
The leftists, despite their protests of love for people, don’t care about those left behind. I noticed no great upset with them over all those people left behind in Vietnam when we left - remember the long line of people in Saigon trying to get on helicopters?
To this day I am convinced one of the reasons Asians are a minority that leftists don’t care about, is because they are a reminder of a people the left abandoned - that and because, of course, they are capitalists and work hard.
Now hold on a minute there TC...
While I agree that Carter wasn’t the greatest or strongest of Presidents of the US, I do not agree that “Jimmy Carter gave us a radicalized Islamic Iran.”
Arab spring and a Muslim brotherhood uprising is just around the corner
In Iraq, it’s the beginning of the end of the beginning and Obama knows it.
I'll second that!
When this sectarian violence spreads I hope the Kurds can cut themselves out a country of their own. -tom
Yes. But we had to try.
It's what we do.
Next time, flatten all the infrastructure, split the country along ethnic/tribal lines, set them at each other's throats, and leave.
It is accomplishing exactly what the man who says he will 'stand with the muslims, should the political winds shift in a ugly direction' intended.
You know, The Won who said he thought the evening call to prayer was "the most beautiful sound on earth"
You should be pleased to meet him, hope you catch his name...
Obama owns it.
By the time the election comes around, the violence will be in full swing. The Pubbies can run videos of violence in the street, then remind everyone that the video is actually of Iran, back when Jimmy Carter was President. ‘Nuf said.
I have to say this:
As long as the muslims want to kill each other , Let them.
Better they kill each other than Americans.
We are out, STAY OUT. get out of Afghanistan and let that bunch go back to the 10th. century too.
He was instrumental in the removal of the Shah, crucial to the installation of the Ayatollah, then ineffectually tried to get our embassy staff back while making appeasing surrender noises.
What turn of phrase would you use?
Such is life in the Arab world.
Family vs. Family
Clan vs. Clan
Tribe vs. Tribe
Sect vs. Sect
Sunni vs Shia
Muslim vs. Everyone else
Hubris to believe we could change that.
