They were better, but no one knew we idiot Americans would elect and then reelect a traitorous Un-American Anti-American into the White House. Every enemy to America and what she stands for is celebrating our pitiful leadership. Even little kids in Central America are ignoring our POTUS and our laws.

Why would Obama not also be hostile to the old Kingdom of Jordan..?

If he hated the historically artificial creation of Iraq I cannot understand why he would not also seek to dispense with Jordan.

Temporarily. Anything you do in that point of the world is pointless because it always devolves back to the tribal sectarian situation it was originally.

Certainly not worth American lives.

We’ll never know if the current quagmire could have been avoided if the White Hut got a SOFA and left the troops in Iraq requested by the Pentagon.

But Obama owns this.

I really don’t want to do it again and as much crap as I talk about not doing it again, ultimately we must.

This time we need to leave an unmistakable impression on them, so they understand, we will add another line to The Marine Corp Anthem if we have to and damn’d well better be another 200 years before we hear from you again.

Personally, I’d go King Herrod on them but, make certain all male under the age of “40” were put to the sword.

We’d save so much money on international aid...

There is controlled chaos and then there is irresponsible ideological lead from the back leadership that causes all kinds of trouble leading to God only knows where.

It's amazing how many people forget that Saddam INVADED KUWAIT! Even if the U.S. invading Iraq was a mistake, 0BAMA COMPETELY WITHDRAWING ALL OF OUR TROOPS WAS EVEN DUMBER!!!

Remember how ANXIOUS 0bama was to bomb Libya? So much so that he didn't even get permission from Congress? Why was he so hot to bomb Libya but now won't do airstrikes in Iraq? Just exactly WHO is he helping????

It looks like Jordan is spooling up to fight ISIS. Relations between Israel and Jordan are apparently good as the speculation is that Israel will help Jordan stay stable and free. All Obama has to do is stand aside as the middle east goes up like a fireworks fabric and repeat Steve Urkel’s line, “Did I do that?”

Nuking Mecca would send a clear message but we have to wait until our Muslim president and our Muslim head of CIA leave office. If that ever happens.

.... Because the King of Jordan is not your average raghead goat Humper...and he would not put up with Obama games...

He’s an actual real leader bringing his country into the 21 at century....

Doesn’t hurt that next to Israel, Jordan is one of the most stable countries in the ME....

As a Veteran of 30 years, it pains me to admit that everything I see points to the Joint Chiefs being a gang of bathhouse boys! I havent seen this many pussies since I visited the Humane society!
ANymore I just shake my head...and wonder what happened to all of the MEN!

That Iraq war will go down as one if the biggest blunders this country ever undertook. We lost 4,600 troops and spent trillion$ for this?

Bad as it was, Saddam’s regime was the only workable solution for Iraq and any other arab country.

He's proud of this...this is his legacy.

He's an American-hating muslim. All his actions have been completely consistent...and he has been remarkably successful.

a ranking Pentagon official...

“The Pentagon is split and the administration is paralyzed,” he said, calling the gridlock “horrendous.”

“Joint Chiefs Chairman [Martin] Dempsey is an asshat yes man,” he continued.

Sorry, I'm not buying that story.......While it sounds cool and most likely accurate, I doubt a standing officer would make such a statement........

Obama’s absolute failure, along with his Secretary of State, took a tough but manageable situation into chaos. No Status of Forces Agreement - Obama and Clinton own that. He blames the elected president for shutting out leaders of the other Muslim branch - but set such a good example of inclusion in this country by considering what the minority here wanted. /s

The hierarchy of the military has been systematically fired so less experience at a minimum people have been put in charge and on a short leash. Don’t think Al Quada notices? If we can make it to 2016 without a major terrorist attack at least on American interests overseas, if not here, I’ll be shocked.

And we all knew we were screwed when W said "islam is a religion of peace."

That's when and where it all fell apart.
