If the US Government claims to be your friend, its best to run the other way.

Gosh, very few people want US troops in other countries especially when our own isn't being protected from invasion. But we created the problem....there's now a void where heavy-handed leaders kept control, and US policy filled that void by arming, training, financing, and now refusing to disintegrate the maniacs who filled it.

I really fear ISIS tactics could go global this summer.

Obama’s agenda was to support the Islamic imperialist crowd. He isn’t anti-war and neither is the Left.

Leftist are decidedly pro-Palestinian war against Israel.

The only “security” this WH knows is the security of knowing that you’ll be chucked under the bus the minute they believe you’re surplus to their needs.

When Obama debated Alan Keyes in the IL Senate race in 2004 on foreign policy, he spoke glowingly of “soft power.” Keyes, knowing something about the subject, having been part of the Reagan team that ultimately brought down the Soviet Union, scoffed, and said that you can’t meet a hard threat with soft power. He rightly pointed out that that’s like trying to take on a bayonet with a wet spaghetti noodle.

Well, here’s some more of the fruit of the bad decision the people of Illinois, and ultimately the people of the United States, made.

Strength, wisely applied, breeds peace.

“Soft power,” especially in the hands of idiots, breeds war, destruction, and tyranny.

0dumbo has sabotaged America’s foreign policy to the point where I don’t think we can recover. Any country who trusts the United States is sure to get SCREWED by the United States. If I were an Iraqi I would bitterly hate 0dumbo for turning his back on Bush’s commitment to Iraq.

Obama is just imitating the Democrat congress in 1974. They hung the South Vietnamese out to dry.

It is good to see someone who remembers how the Democrat congress pulled the plug on the money to finish the fight that we had won.

The SOB who is in the White House today is doing the same thing.

Did I miss something? We created the ISIS debacle when we intervened in Syria, weakening Assad’s control of ISIS which has created the current situation. Now we are washing our hands of all of it?

Good Grief

You know what?

They CHEERED when we left.

They can have ISIS. I just hope the Christians get out in time. Our “friends, the “Islamic Republic of Iraq”, or whatever they call themselves, has already almost emptied the country of Christians, anyway.

They wanted us out.

They were glad to see us go.

They cheered when we left, and they weren’t cheers of thanks.

I like your version better. Obama’s term will pass - like a kidney stone, but it’ll pass. The U.S. still has some responsible and good people (but darned few in the government it seems).

Obama’s strategy is to purposefully have Iraq turn into a quagmire as he believes that Bush and Republicans will be blamed. If he had sustained Bush’s policies and things turned out well in Iraq then he would have been proved wrong about Iraq. Can’t have that.

They CHEERED

They (the moslems) cheered loudly on American soil when 911 came. + Thirteen years ... and counting and Americans never retaliated ... + Thirteen years (the moslems) have had to prepare for the next attack ... I predict 911 will be remembered as a pin prick once (the moslems) attack this time.
