The Media and the Democrat Party deserve responsibility for the debacle which is Obama.

Many US soldiers, and many more Iraqis, died, and Obama is throwing it all away.

The Government can’t pick and choose which laws to enforce, and which to in your face break.

Our Government doesn’t give a hoot in Hell what we think.

Closing in on Baghdad...

Shouldn’t Baghdad Barry be Telling Lies on the TV Screen about now?

I know folks who fought this, who lost friends/relatives who are sick over this. Jim, they’re questioning the shed blood. I know why their minds go there, but the truth is that their loved ones were answering their nation’s call, doing their duty, being loyal, serving with integrity. We can’t let them not think on their honorable service.

I absolutely despise this administration.

One Apache attack copter could stop them all in their tracks.

I thought Commander Obama brought an end to all of this stuff when he killed Osam bin Laden? Didn’t he say the war was over and he won it?

I am stunned by how little coverage this is getting. It makes me sick to my stomach to think how we lost some 4,500 soldiers (with many more with disabling injuries) only, thanks to Obama and his retreat, to turn it over to al Qaeda.

I saw that ISIL is up in the territory it has already conquered using a back-hoe to dig out the border between Syria and Iraq, because the “new caliphate” is transnational.

Obviously, it includes the White House.

"There are no Islamists here! State Department reports that we still have control of refineries in Mosul! Field Marshal Kerry says there is nothing to worry about! We are nominating Barack Hussein for another Nobel Peace Prize! All is well! All is well!"

I notice that Al Queda and Taliban both favor Toyota trucks. Berghdahl was driven to the release point in a Toyota Tacoma.

A couple of Apaches or Warthogs could take out the whole column in about 3 minutes.

Yep. You can count on Obozo to do the thing that is least in the interest of the US and most in his own interest.

Biden: I am very optimistic about Iraq. I think it’s gonna be one of the great achievements of this administration. You’re gonna see 90,000 troops come marching home by the end of the summer. You’re gonna see a stable Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government…I’ve been impressed by how they’ve been deciding to use the political process rather than guns to settle their differences.”

That was February 11, 2010

Sensor Fused Weapons. Kind of dated technology but when you absolutely need to wipe out miles and miles of bad guy convoys it’s the tool for the job.

I hope the Iraqis can hold them off until November. It would be a nice visual heading into the election to see Americans evacuating from the roof of the embassy.

No, he’s not — he knows exactly what he is doing.

Didn’t he say that he was going to bring change?

As always, Americans have short memories.

Ever considered that he is not working for us, but for them?

Never fear. Commander Obama will send in our troops to help the Islamics overthrow the Iraqi government.
