IMO the “war” in Iraq was over before Obama came on the scene. Just mopping up, training and being an active buffer against Iran/Syria adventurers.
Eventually we will be bombing into oblivion all the infrastructure we helped to restore and build!
I believe you’re right, lets hope the Iraqis are strong enough and have the will to resist Iran’s upcoming incursion.
Yep, that’s a real possibility.
All the sacrifices of our troops are nothing to Obama. He’s willing to throw it all away. It was for nothing. Iraq as an Iranian puppet will be a lot worse than Saddam ever was.
Even Clinton didn't come close to the level of this president's narcissism. You know this quote from one of Obama's minions was dictated to him using these words specifically.
That must be the real obama jobs program. We'll blow it up and then rebuild it again.
Afraid you’re right brother! Those busturds have been killing each other over religious differences damn near since the beginning of time. They will roll over to Iran and become another Islamic State in short order after our departure. But that was going to happen whenever we departed. And we will some day have to approach this Islamist situation the way we should have in the first place. Either them or us! There is no way Western culture will ever be able to live in harmony with these people.

Actually, the Sunnis and Shia have only be fighting since the 7th Century, More recently, the present frontier between Iraq and Iran is generally the same as the border between the Ottoman Turks and the Persians and that was set in the 16th century.
Time didn’t begin in the 7th Century? Just kidding. Thanks for the history lesson. I still think however, at some point we are going to have unleash WMD against them to get their attention that we will not be screwed with.
so the hippies want the troops home ......... to spit on?
We should start a FR pool to predict the exact day that Iraq is annexed into Iran. I’m thinking sometime around July 4, 2012.

Oh, I believe in revelation, and I think, so do many who speculate about multi-verses. Descartes, I gather, thought he had an inspiration that was divine. Summed up by his Cogito, ergo sum. Most moderns, however, don’t know really have a theory about the source of such intuitions. But they sure are not afraid to run with them, even though the idea is hardly new: I think Bruno was burnt for clinging to the notion.
I doubt that will happen. The Iraqi mullahs thinks of the Iranians as par venues. But it might become a satellite/ally.
and the press has kept it quiet - along with the first doubling of our troops killed (2009) then tripling (2010) and on the way to quadruple this year. ..because of his traitorous ROE that gives the Tallies the advantages, including first shot and delayed or no air cover.
All he's doing now is making his final gift of the country to the enemy.
These valleys weren't won by the Tallies - the OWN simply pulled out troops out - without taking the missiles, rockets, bullets etc - (I can tell you that this was a great blow to the troops)

Pinned down - refused air cover - because, under the new ROE, they “might” hit a civilian - even tho
assured no civilians in area.
Our troops died - and their blood is on O’s hands - (this is NOT as isolated incident)

The traitorous ROE that favors the enemy and kills our troops
look at this chart that shows how our KIAS shot up in 2009 - due to the new ROE
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-5854835-503544.html
and then they tripled in 2010 - and are the highest yet this year “Up until this year, January-April 2010 (with 106 U.S. military fatalities) was the deadliest January-April period in the now almost-10-year-long war. 2010 went on to become the deadliest year for U.S. forces in Afghanistan with a total of 497 U.S. troops killed during the year.”
Here's a good summation of what these traitorous ROE’s are and what they have done - (Col. Allen West)

O is not ‘winning’ the war. He is handing the country over to the enemy - and none dare call it treason.
You care? Will you even take the time to watch thesse clips? Will you send them to everyone y ou know? (If not, then you are part of the reason this traitor gets away with it)
correction: “the ONE simply pulled out troops out”
