LOL

Awesome.

We need to start supporting the ISIS through a proxy in the Gulf states.

Keep throwing fuel on the fire 'til the entire Arab/Muslim world is one enormous conflagration.

Sit back and laugh as China's economy grinds to a halt.

Whatever. It's certainly not stable now.

Yes, I agree. Obama used his telepathic powers to force George W. Bush to invade Iraq. Pretty good trick if you ask me.

I was thinking more of the President's decision to leave Iraq in 2011, which he needed no clairvoyance to make, just poor judgment. We said that this would happen, and it's happening, and we needed no clairvoyance to make that prediction, either, just common sense.

Maybe, maybe not, but it was already done, and President Obama assured us, the people, that everything would be okay when he really has no clue what he's doing yet has the arrogance to ignore those around him to try to advise him and takes matters into his own hands. He has demonstrated this dismissive arrogant attitude time and time again. He is putting people in harm's way over his stupid ideas which are not realistic.

They are not stupid enough to get involved without a clear goal and an assessment that they will profit. If they do get involved, they WILL take over the oil fields, they WILL subjugate the people remaining and they WILL suck that country dry for everything it has and then leave. At least, that what I believe, if they get involved which I think is a "slim to none" chance.

It takes time to remove troops and equipment, at least our exodus didn't resemble the Vietnam pullout, where the US dumped stuff into the sea and destroyed millions of dollars worth of equipment.

which is smarter then what Obama did by allowing our equipment to be catpured and now used against innocence

Whether or not you approved of the war in Iraq the fact is there was a war in Iraq and it was America and their Coalition members who did the invading. Now over 4,000 Americans are dead and many more seriously injured and the present administration will unto all the previous good. Of course this do-nothing policy will be to the detriment of America and world peace for years to come. It seems Obama really is on the side of Al Qaeda.

Yes, 4,000 are dead. Will you feel better spending 4,000 more lives only to see the same results again in another decade? You side is responsible for this by invading in the first place. When dies your sued learn from your mistake?

Sounds great to me! My retirement is largely made up of oil well royalties. The more expensive oil is the better it is for me.

Please excuse me, I guess working for oil field companies allowed their corporate greed to rub off on me. Don't worry, I'm working on it.

If I recall correctly, US troops didn't secure the munitions upon invading Iraq, and those were used in IEDs to kill and injure US and other troops.

Name some munitions and equipment left by US troops in Iraq upon leaving. and, if the US did leave equipment, why didn't Malaki secure it?

Let's take a walk down memory lane shall we? There were several chemical weapon factories discovered where intelligence believed they were destined to be used against our troops. The threat of chemical weapons being used on our guys in the region through terrorist organizations Saddam was funding was real. It is why all the troops were equipped with special outerwear. Some of the intelligence was faulty ......some of it wasn't.

Probably the mystery of what happened to Saddam's WMD will never be fully known. He had plenty of time to move out a lot of stuff during the 12 long weeks that we negotiated with the U.N. that was reluctant to enforce its own resolutions re Iraq. But to put that into perspective, 60 million people were killed to put down tyranny in World War II. Most of the Iraqis killed were killed by other tyrants who did not want there to be democracy or freedom in the Middle East. But the decade of sanctions were also taking their toll on the Iraqi people with some 50,000, many of those children, believed to have died from malnutrition and other deprivation as a direct result of those sanctions that were severely hurting the people and greatly enriching Saddam and his cronies.

But in World War II, the tyrants were overcome with overwhelming force and brought to complete, unconditional surrender. Then we could help them rebuild under our terms alone. The 'evil' nations were completely transformed into peaceful allies, good neighbors to the world.

We didn't have the will to do that in Iraq. As we have done in every military conflict since, however, we didn't have the will to use overwhelming force and bring the nation to complete submission in Iraq. We just stopped fighting the war. And every time we have done that, we left an enemy, not an ally, when we left.

I don't know why anybody thought Iraq would be any different.

"One reason the Obama administration resisted giving arms to rebel groups in Syria despite pressure from Congress is the fear the weapons would end up with al Qaeda-affiliates. If ISIS reaches Baghdad, that fear would be realized, and the weapons could then even be used against rebel groups in Syria supported by the U.S.

U.S. officials are worried that more weapons could fall into ISIS’s hands if the militants reach Baghdad. The U.S. has already sold the Iraqi military armed helicopters, drones, Hellfire missiles and a number of small arms."
