NY Post ^ | 6/13/14 | Associated Press, by Staff

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama says Iraq’s government must make a sincere effort to address sectarian differences, or else U.S. military help won’t succeed in curbing the insurgency there. He says, quote, “We can’t do it for them.” Obama says the U.S. won’t send troops back into Iraq. But he says he’s asked his national security team to prepare a range of other options. He says he’ll review those options in the coming days. Obama says the risk posed by terrorists in Iraq could eventually pose a threat to U.S. interests, too.

In short, the bullet lodged in my shoulder blade might as well have been shot by Obama instead of insurgents.

Thanks for wasting years of my life, Obama.

The entire ersatz “Arab Spring” was engineered to this or a similar outcome.

And Americans need to solve their own healthcare coverage issues. And school lunches, etc.

Sure wish he'd take the same laissez faire approach in all the other matters he was unqualified to deal with.

But he will continue to ship weapons to Iraq so that Iran can confiscate them.

Look how NBC News spun this story. Headline: “U.S. Will Do Our Part in Iraq Crisis.” Quote is attributed to Obama...

While King Obama arms insurgents via Syria, and then parks Americans off the coast.

Obama is truly in it to cause as much strife as possible.

Conservatives must speak up. When Obama is right, he is right. They got to solve their own endless thousand year Sunni - Shiite problems. Our involvement means we lose. Staying out means we tell them we will trade with both sides [like Vietnam China] means we win.

Look at it this way. Bush went into Iraq and he took out the enemy of Iran. Now Iran is back in Iraq. Going into Iraq that was supposed to welcome us and make us their friend because we hung Saddam. Getting involved in Iraq was the gift that keeps on giving to cost us in blood and money. Get the hell out and stay out of picking sides. Trade with all as George Washington said. Alliances with none.
