to be clear; NO! Let the Saudis deal with their own nightmare... we are not their hired hands.

Do YOU think there will be "boots on the ground" to help the Iraqis?

I seriously doubt it with this POTUS.

Pound sand Gates. 31,000 (latest estimate) “hijackers” of the “religion of peace”. Not our problem. Enough of the fear-mongering psyops.

[CincyRichieRich]

This is BS for low info morons.

0bummer will say it is Gates’ fault and the other general who twisted his arm and it was THEIR decision, so technically, to his satanic mind, he’ll be keeping his “promises”. I’ll bet Rush covers this today.

[nhwingut]

Anyone catch what the general said (in a tape run) on Kelly File?

The generals disagreed with the president's plan to remove all troops from Iraq.

"ALL generals recommended keeping a residual force."

Not some. Not most. Not many. ALL!

[Real Cynic No More]

Let’s see, have a multi year war draining resources for a decade or more, or put boots on the ground and end it within the year. Or, to put it another way, a war of attrition v a war of decisiveness.

There is no hope of defeating ISIS unless America returns to being the Nation that fought and destroyed the Nazi.
Because we are not at war with ISIS, we are at war with Islam.
It was not “Germany” that tried to conquer the world it was Nazism. It is not ISIS or Hezbollah or Al-Queda or Iran or iraq that is trying to destroy the western world, it is Islam.

[Organic Panic]

You hear that soldiers? Your own Defense secretary and CinC have no faith in your ability to win a war.

[what's up]

All of Obama's life has been spent bashing the US military.

Now he has to assume command and take military offense (not to mention this is six weeks before an election and any action will alienate his base)?

I doubt he is capable. I really think he's heading for a nervous breakdown.
