Congress should say...

... as if Congress would ever do anything

[vette6387]

I’m not sure I’d believe anything this guy has to say. Personally, I think he’s a weasel.

[reefdiver]

He means when it fails.

[Lorianne]

Why do we need to go in there?

If this ‘terror army’ is such a problem, why don’t the people of the region, or at least people who live closer than 5,000 miles + an ocean away form a coalition and do something about it?

Why is Europe so calm about all this and we’re running around with our hair on fire?

[bigbob]

Prolly doesn’t matter as his career will soon be over.

[mojito]

Counting down the seconds before the WH has a conniption.

[mojito]

If anyone is JV around here, it's the US Congress while Commandante Barry goes rogue.

[Kaslin]

I can’t believe you are that ignorant

[sunmars]

We said it, we knew it, creeping battle coming, we’re going back to Iraq.

What a cluster.....

[bimboeruption]

I must be a dumbass too. I feel the same way.

[sunmars]

This is what happens when you pull troops for a political stunt before you finish the job, you end up having to go back and fix it.

This is all on Obama’s head.

[bimboeruption]

Before risking MORE American lives, why don’t we bomb ISIS’ oil fields?

[Lorianne]

You’re falling for this cr@p?
We are just going to end up arming more terrorists over there.

It’s time to face that we don’t know what we are doing and never have known what we were doing in the Middle East and other Muslim nations. We’ve done NOTHING but create more problems ... not that there wouldn’t have been plenty anyway, but not ours.

Let the people most at risk defend themselves. If they refuse that tells me what I need to know ... we will be hated and worse for intervening.

Did Kuwait every thank us? I seem to remember just after they were ‘liberated’ they were burning American flags and crying jihad against Americans.

You can have all that if you want it ... which it seems you do.

[sunmars]

oh i agree, all i am saying is, its Obama’s fault for cutting and running and not finishing the mess off in the first place.

Actions have consequences.

[GOPJ]

Our military’s going to be infected with Ebola... and our country too... because idiots like General Martin Dempsey don’t have the balls to stand up to Obama and the bureaucracy...

[Roman_War_Criminal]

I wouldn’t believe any General these days. All the good ones have been removed or ‘retired’, the rest are political hacks.

[bimboeruption]

AMEN...I agree.

[Kaslin]

Exactly

[cripplecreek]

Perpetual war for perpetual peace.

Obama will leave office and it will forever be a republican war.
