Isn't the quiet way this happened a bit concerning??

Iraq is going to fall apart and Iran is going to move in before the end of the year is done...

We are now perceived as that weak now, I think the prisoner exchange signaled soemthing to that effect....

"Isn't the quiet way this happened a bit concerning??"

Yes, was it "quiet" because there was enough inside involvement to have a shotless coup. Or was it "quiet" because the media won't report on it, less they make Obama look bad, or their middle eastern owners upset?

If the media could shut it out entirely they'd do that.

When the Iraq thing began - really, when it was restarted - in 2003 I said it would buy us time in the War Against Islam. I was hoping for 20 years. We got three. That is absolutely and directly ascribable to 0bama and nobody else.

Militants effectively seized of Iraq's second-largest city of Mosul on Tuesday.

Lukman Faily, Iraq’s ambassador to the United States, said the F-16s will allow the rebuilding Iraqi air force to protect its own borders. Taking delivery of the first fighter sends “a clear sign to the world and the region that a stable and strong Iraq in a partnership of choice with the United States is what we are after.”
