Green Bay, Wis., Obama said, “Thanks to sacrifice and service of our brave men and women in uniform, the war in Iraq is over, the war in Afghanistan is winding down, al Qaeda has been decimated, Osama bin Laden is dead.”

... the western province of Anbar, where militants have managed to hold territory, including the city of Falluja and parts of neighboring Ramadi, for six months.
IIRC, Falluja was a city that even Saddam Hussein would not go into because it was so violent. US/Allies forces cleaned it out. Now, it sounds as if the infestation is back.

I said Day One when we went to Iraq, we’d better be prepared to stay there for at least 20 years.
Now you know why.

People are so war-weary that this won’t even bother the masses. If someone had to come up with a plan to defeat America in the middle east, a better one could not have been hatched than what the “president” has done, with the help of the Iranian Valerie JarrettDon't forget the evil muslim Brennan.
I am 100% certain that the evil muslim Brennan is feeding intelligence and other support to Al Qaeda.

This guy got it right... Dr. Abbas Kadhim @DrAbbasKadhim 2m Let's hope #Iraq govt retakes #Mosul quickly. If Dyala falls to #ISIS and #US does nothing, #Maliki will start talks with #Iran. Plan B! from Alexandria, VA

I wonder if they have any pilots in the ISIS?
To: JudyinCanada
Exactly. I know someone that fought in Mosul during the worst of it. I’m sure he’s not happy that their sacrifice has been thrown away.
