In January 2007 then Senator Barack Obama went on Face the Nation to share his words of wisdom. First the Illinois junior senator refused to tell Bob Schieffer if he would cut off funding for our troops in Iraq. Then he added this:

“One of the things that I strongly disagree with Senator McCain is, this notion that we have future catastrophe to look forward to if we start phasing down troops…

…And so those of us who object to what I consider to be a disastrous policy on part of the Bush Administration, have in fact put forward a different approach. One that by the way tracks what the Iraq study group talked about. Two months before the Iraq study group came out with its proposal, I suggested that, if we initiate a phased withdrawal that provides us leverage to make sure the Iraqis are actually doing what needs to be done to arrive at a political accommodation. And Senator McCain and the President seem to believe that only a military solution can accomplish our goals there.”

Re: Iraq insurgents take Saddam's home town in lightning advance

So it turns out the story of the $430 million looted from an Iraqi bank is not entirely true.

The money that was confiscated was in Iraqi denominations which had a pre-civil war value $430 million. They will have a hard time offloading that currency at this point. They'll be lucky to see 10% of it's value in trade.

Good point. Chinese intervention becomes a possiblity.

I don't know that China has the expeditionary capacity to intervene in any significant way.

At least not in the short run.

Not that it matters.

The Idiot in Chief is going to collude with Iran and this whole thing around Baghdad will be over in a heartbeat.

Then we'll sit idly by as Iran steamrolls the Pech in Kirkuk and keeps right on going into Kurdistan ending even the philosophical notion of a Kurdish state, which sucks because the Kurds are probably the only people in that region who deserve to be cared about.

This could be the absolute best thing that ever came of the War on Terror.

But Obama will find some way to screw it up and ensure we come out of it as the biggest loser.

I rarely agree with McCain these days, but this time I do. Either BHO needs to get a new National Security team, or he needs to listen to the one he has in place - if they are giving him advice that is in the best interest of the Iraqi people and the entire ME! This does not appear to be the case, unfortunately!

Don't worry Chris, Obama's National Security Advisor is Susan Rice and Valerie Jarrett is calling the shots.

You really have no idea what's going on over there, what's happened over there politically over the past six or eight years, or why.

This ideological drivel is just ****ing stupid.

It's like listening to a six-year-old rant.

Would you support the US losing, if it meant Obama looked bad and got removed or would you support a US victory, even if it made Obama look good?

Personally, I'm leaning toward Iran/Russia. China has other goals on their mind at the moment. :yes:

It seems that as usual Obama disregards the best advice he can get and just does what he wants to do. I wonder if it has ever crossed his mind that perhaps there is someone somewhere with more complete knowledge of certain subjects that he possibly has? It certainly doesn't appear that notion has ever crossed his mind.

You ask a question that can never happen.. its moot now.. Obama was vested on making sure GWB would never be given that victory we had already won..

also part of Obamas stratagy was to dishearten our brave soldiers and they can now feel the brave efforts and losses were for NOTHING.. that all victories are now destroyed and all the hard work for nothing...

Obama hates our military...

He does seem to have disdain for the efforts of others, and particularly the military.

We won nothing, because the misnomer of "War on Terrorism" is a vacuous term that has us fighting, nothing and nobody in specific. We'll be fighting that supposed War indefinitely because there's nobody to beat, except anyone who doesn't like us. El stupido.

not true we had tangible victories and rebuilds of hearts and minds and towns and infrastructure in Iraq that is now literally destroyed..

yes... but more in line with the nuke deal Russia signed with Iran and China's deals..

Oil for food shows us how the oil was being used for many years in the run up to 9/11 to fund terror... that was what GWB was truly fighting against .. that funding of terror that Clinton allowed and looked the other way..
