"As arms were given to al Qaeda in country after country,
as the American ambassador and others were slaughtered and ignored,
and as Iran and Afghanistan were finally slowly lost,
where WAS the docile, treasonous, whoring American Congress?"

Americans are tired of war. For the 17 members of Congress who served in Iraq, that means watching helplessly as the cities they fought for fall once more to extremists. Militants believed to be associated with al-Qaida overtook Mosul, the second-largest city in Iraq, on Tuesday. The group then seized Tikrit, hometown of former President Saddam Hussein, on Wednesday.

obama fail
LOL. What "enemy" is this guy referring to? The U.S. was fighting a "war on terror" in Iraq, wasn't it?
I hope this dude can apply the lessons he learned from this idiocy to his work in Congress.
Obama’s “Mission Accomplished” moment.
Now, Iraq is being taken over by the enemy the Democrats now want to ignore. The problem in the middle east now soars and the public knows it.
Where are the Democrats and Obama? With their heads in the sand.
Our failure in Iraq goes a hell of a lot deeper than Obama. Its rooted in the formation of the UN and the end of victory.
In WWII we didn’t fight to force Germany and Japan to negotiate, we fought to defeat and pacify them.
We left Iraq is a stable state with a reasonable military and the ability to support itself through its oil sales. In less than 5 years al-Maliki pissed all that away through his own actions. So if we had left troops in Iraq, right now they would be caught in the middle of a civil war that would have started anyway.
And they'd be right about that.
They rode that lesson to victory in 2006, when they made huge gains in the mid-term elections because Americans rightly understood the insanity of spending thousands of American lives and hundreds of billions of dollars on a military campaign halfway around the world while allowing a massive invasion across our own southern border right here at home.
Of ALL the people in politics/congress, YOU are the ones America is hoping for.
If you say nothing nor do nothing we will know we're alone and that the revolution will be fought without you.
You enlisted and fought for our country, you came home to see it a mess and you ran to become part of fixing or saving America ... and now your true hearts are on the line and will be exposed.
Are you men of valor, or politicians ?
We haven't time to debate
Obama and the Democrats own the illegal alien problems and that of the young illegal aliens swamping the borders. They dumped them on Arizona and they own the problem now.
Iraq is turning into what Iraq was always going to be. The leadership of the U.S. has a lot to answer for, since the thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars was all for nothing.
They can get that anyway. Pakistan is a bigger problem than Iraq, Egypt, Libya or any other countries where the U.S. has toppled governments in the Middle East. But radical Islamic groups like al-Qaeda can operate freely in Pakistan because the U.S. won’t ‘eff with a country that already has its own nuclear arsenal.
Certainly not like during WWII or even, to a lesser extent, Vietnam.
No rationing, no buying War Bonds or doing without to help the war effort.
No, I'd say the American people are tired of the media and their warped portrayal of the war.
President opum. Anyone remember saving private Ryan?
Of course not. If you had 10% of the U.S. population serving in the armed forces like we had during World War II, the war in Iraq -- if it was even fought at all -- would have lasted about 48 hours.
We used nukes in WWII because the American leadership knew that the American people would not continue to support the war forever. They knew that invading Japan would crush American resolve so it had to end and end quickly.
I do remember the movie.
Yep, you got it!
