ALL OUR MEN DIED FOR NOTHING... IF THIS IS ALLOWED.

Anyone in the Intelligence services, the military and other part of our government that loves the U.S. should question what is taking place in Iraq.

Baghdad...Baghdad...looking everywhere on my map of Syria and I can't find Baghdad. Name sounds familiar, though. It's almost as if we won a battle there once. Definitely rings a bell.

Oh, I remember now! That was where Dear Leader took all our troops out of because it was all peaceful now that Bush was gone. That Baghdad.

The Iraqis are even better at surrendering than the French.

So is Obama going to pull our soldiers out of there? Because remember, he wasn’t going to have any “boots on the ground”.

We have something like 1600 souls over there right now.

What a pathetic bunch in the Oval Office. Worst ever.

These clowns make Jimmy Carter look like George Patton.
