call your congress-critter and you’ll find out... they couldn’t care less

if we had this govt in control from 1945-1960, we would have fallen to the soviets the first time they threatened action

Put the blame where it belongs: squarely on Bush and the demented neocon geniuses who destabilized the entire middle east because Richard Perle, Bill Kristol, John Bolton, and the WSJ editorial board thought it would be cool to harness 9/11 outrage by kicking Saddam’s ass. We can thank them for the extinction of Christian communities and islamic radicalization from Libya to Pakistan.

" and it is a direct threat to U.S. national security."

Same crap we hear before when they threatened us with an imaginary mushroom cloud. Another war would be our end with Russia and China waiting in the wings.

Your post is right on.

A government that can’t defend itself any better than that against a group of terrorists isn’t sustainable.

This seems to me to be part of the general fight between Shiites and Sunnis playing out in Syria and elsewhere.

I say let them kill each other to their hearts’ content. Maybe use the Turkish airbase at Incirlik to bomb juicy terrorist targets in northern Iraq as well.

But no ground troops.

At least it isn’t Islam’s Fault. Phew. That would be Rasis.

Obama said he is “Very concerned” about what is happening in Iraq.

To the headline, I reply. Really? Who is the Caliph?

Obviously the news out of western Iraq and eastern Syria is bad, but calling a region that has fallen under the control of an armed band intent on enforcing its vision of Sharia as “Caliphate” is at best imprecise and at worst misses the point that the Sunni world is the chaotic hell-hole it has become in part because there is no Caliph, no central religious authority who could put a stop to every Abudul, Mohammed and Omar from setting up his own blood-soaked interpretation of Shariah.

Obama’s only “concern” is that he has yet to be publicly given the title of Caliph of the new caliphate in Iraq. Perhaps his bros in the Brotherhood lied to him.

And, for this we can thank Zero and 0bamunists, including the Hildebeast, and JF’inKerry, along with VJ and the rest of the sycophants in DC kowtowing to the FairyPrince.

Islam has been at war with civilization for nearly 1500 years. We are presently in the latest escalation of that conflict. We dare NOT lose.

What arrogant, misguided freaky-ness to think that you can make these uncivilized moozlums “free” or “stable”. What a complete waste of American lives and taxpayers’ money.
