Our C-in-C will dither and get us to the bottom while doing so.

This is quite the conundrum. I have little interest in arming Iraqis or in general any Muslim. I am not particularly interested in teaching them how to fight or to use our tactics. Give them small arms, teach them to shoot and let Allah sort it out.
And the new ROE should be carpet bombing them all into Hell!
Who will be the first to demand proof of life and health of our Marines? What kind of charade is this? Whenever the traitor admin goes silent, it’s not good news.
A wet-dream for “Obama”: 300 Marines burned alive.
Hey Hey, what is wrong with you people? You know Obama does not have time for this, he has to tell people how to take selfie
Back in 2002-2003, Mrs Submareener and I worked very hard at the MCIA to help the Marines understand the tribal structure of Al Anbar Province. The Marines won that war. Obama has thrown all that work away.
Right now, Obama is golfing in Palm Springs
Good.
The sooner the myth of our Muslim "friends" evaporates, the sooner the enemy can be defined, fixed, and destroyed.

He is only doing what the moonbats elected him to do, whine be cool and lose America, while blaming everyone else.
Obamanites searching even as we speak for under-the-bus fodder.
Well, the spawn of satan got away with Benghazi, and it’s clear that if Benghazi X 300 has happened then he will get away with this too, what with the MenSeekingMen blackout.
Article 25, section 4. Take P and VP down.
Should be IF it’s clear Benghazi X 300.
God bless our Marines.
Right now, Obama is golfing in Palm Springs
I bet he’s with Reggie Love right now.
arming tribes directly, what could possibly go wrong...
