Iraqs parliament just chose a new President who refused to rename Prime Minister Nouri Kamal al-Maliki to a third term. Maliki declared the move unconstitutional and his own State of Law Party pulled support from him. Now his forces are seizing government buildings in Iraq, have closed the airport, and are surrounding the Green Zone.

CNN has moved on to recorded bs now.
They must have gotten the call from Obama Sycophant and CNN Pres Jeff Zucker to not say anything more until Obama’s Minions tell them what they think about this.
Oh yeah this will really help the good guys (the Iraqi Military, The Kurds and others) to take the country back from ISIS.
Thanks Obama!
They need cards.... they can all have Pokemon, Naruto and Yu-Gi-Oh battles instead of real bloodshed.
Don’t forget Mr. Harper (we may be “illegally” immigrating) to Canada in a few years if things get MUCH worse here.
Damned shasme all we have in the Pentagon and JCOS lately are a bunch of TInkerbells, too! (spit)
I must say, despite having considered Bush the greatest President ever at the time, his, the Neocons' decision to invade Iraq has to rank as one of history's greatest miscalculations, blunders, a geopolitical loss for the West as devastating, destructive as the fall of the Shah.
They really had this naive notion that an Arab country would embrace Democracy.
Yep, our President did say the Iraqis need to be the solution. Don’t know if anyone’s going to like this.
If this is true, and the regime in Baghdad falls, this will be the Kenyan’s Saigon.

Again...I can’t disagree.
It may have been more economical at the time...but isn’t any longer.
Sadly it would take several years to get the US up to speed. But it could be done...if we could shut down the environmentalist EPA. My solution to that problem...let them freeze a winter or two and walk every where they go.
We could still do it, if we had the will.
I am getting confused here...who are the good guys in Iraq?
A question comes to mind:
Why weren't those tanks used to fight the ISIS invasion?
Be careful. If Bebe Turdoo is elected next time, as most polls show, there could be issues. Turdoo is well left of your current pResident. Immigrants from Middle Eastern paradises where prayer to Mecca five times a gay is ‘de riguer’ will be welcomed with open arms by the Lieberal Party of Canada, but those who subscribe to ‘traditional Western values’, not so much.
That’s because tweeting is for morons.
The fact that US officials engage in the practice is preposterous.
I guess Canadians can’t handle prosperity.
Oh that Michelle! She’s looking so lean and mean.
The Iraqis all started running away from ISIS. Someone has to man the machinery.
If you remember that during the 1st Gulf War, after running the Iraqis out of Kuwait, the US started moving into Iraq. The Iraqis abandoned their war machines and ran that time too.
