American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq[W:1007]

Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

The same thing can be said about some of your posts.


And yours....

Should we contine the partisan sniping or respond to the Op ?
 
Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

And Obama said this.

The CIA said this.
And the NYTimes said this.
Interesting that he campaigned on doing something that apparently had already been accomplished and after they celebrated 'his' accomplishment the loyalists immediately try to disavow their 'accomplishment' and dump the blame on Bush for that 'accomplishment'.
 
Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

Because it's up to the Iraqi government to protect and defend their assets. We held their hands and trained their troops for over ten years. Al-Miliki needs to get his **** together and stop favoring the Sh**tes or move over and be replaced with someone that will. The American people don't have the stomach for another war in Iraq.

I understand, the people are war weary. But where do we draw the line. This is genocide of the most wicked type. Why isn't the rest of the world getting involved? Iraq is not going to be capable of defeating ISIS. When they finish setting up their caliphate they will be coming after us next. When do you get involved when they are beheading your son or raping your daughter or do you decimate them before it gets to that point?

As much as it pains me to agree with you, we almost have no choice to DO whatever it takes to stop them. This is like allowing the Drug Cartels to grow in power and scope. Look what they're doing to the southern border. Criminal behavior wants to grow unchecked, like Hitler and other conquerors. All they know is rule by fear and destruction. It's only going to get worse.
 
Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

61 years but I don't think we are still there to protect South Korea. They can protect themselves. i think we feel comfortable being right close to a serious enemy where we can deal with them quickly. It is no different than the Russian inolvement with Cuba and Venezuela.

We are also still in Germany 68 years after that war. Are we protecting Europe from Germany? Obviously not. We are just closer to Western Russia than we would be at home.

Well, yeah, but 3 years into the cease fire in either of those theaters we were still there for protection.

We can address our purpose there again in 50 years, after a generation of peace.
 
Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

Umm, they are not dancing. They are beheading children, mass execution of men women and children. Murdering parents and raping their baby girls. You are fine with this thrilla?

not particularly... but i'm also not fine with another invasion.
 
Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

You are not fine with anything as long as a Republican isn't doing it .

I suspect that many countries would like something to be done but they have had, since WWII, relied on American leadership to do it. They can see that Obama is not committed to solving this problem so they cannot get involved on any serious level either. Obama has already played his hand to whatever allies he may have had, and the enemy as well.

Barrack Obama is a Community Organizer pretending to act like a President and everyone, except for 29% of the American public, knows it.

just becasue you're a major party minion doesn't mean everyone else is.

do i need ot explain what the Libertarian party is to you again?.... should i right it in crayon ..again?

This is what "your" President Created. We tried to tell you but you believed the rhetoric and ignored the substance. He is an empty suit, wanted to get out of Iraq quickly, didn't want to address the Syrian Problem and now you are seeing the effects of very poor or zero leadership

Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

I hope it's to kill blood thirsty muslim fanatics.

Well....same thing in this instance, isn't it? I prefer the focus on the why.
 
Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

Don't you ever get tired of repeating the same ol' partisan hack tripe ad nauseam over and over again? It not only gets old it's not factual and you people never have any solutions. Maybe you could actually stand up for your country and president instead of constantly looking for blame.

If the moron-in-command would do something right, we would stand up for him.
 
Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

More partisan bull****. It amazes me how much more competent Bush (Cheney) gets the longer he is out of office. The man was NEVER competent and set this country so far back it will take years for us recover.

You people are like a blaming the fireman because he didn't reconstruct the home after he put out the fire.

Which fire would that be that "Hussein" supposedly put out?

Yes...I remember the Obama-sheep loudly giving Obama credit for a great victory in Iraq as he was pulling the troops out.

The latest video is showing how Obama is explaining to everyone that it wasnt his fault that he underestimated ISIS...it was the Intel community.

Shocking...

Why didn't 'your President' take care of the Iraq problem while he was there. The Iraq war was 'won' in 2003. Bush left office in January of 2009. What in the hell was he doing for those six years?
 
Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

More 'it's Obama's fault'. Every frickin' thing that happens in the world that you folks don't like is Obama's fault. Is there a way we can blame 9/11 on him? How about Pearl Harbor? The sinking of the Maine? It's your response to everything.

No you wouldn't. You've hated him since January 20, 2009. At least be honest about your prejudice.

It's the only song they know. They are frustrated by the fact that the U.S. cannot control world events any more. Somebody has to be to blame for all of that. Guess who.
 
Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

Electric cars and MPG are far from solving the petrol reliance.

At $10's a gallon, bet you the average American would care. Has nothing to do with smarts but more to do with income.

All gas comes from a global oil aggregate, and we don't produce enough spare capacity to export.

They already put out a statement claiming they want to put their flag on the White House, and we've already bombed them twice.

No I would not care. My gas bill would be $20 month to $60 month. Not a killer even on my tiny income.

yes it has to do with smarts. if your smart enough to buy a scooter or electric car.....................then you dont care about gas prices.

far but moving in the right direction. what direction was Bush moving in? LMAO!!! Funny how pickups get 25 mpg now!

And you will notice that the USA is EXPORTING CRUDE these days. Read WSJ, they found a loop hole in the law. Exports have started DISPITE a ban on them.

Alos look at USA crude production compared to use. production up. Use down.

Great for you, but many people with daily commutes to work and back, and busy lives with family, would be paying $100's a week. Not including what that would do to the prices of other goods that are shipped by truck. You're not thinking beyond yourself.

And all oil prices are on an aggregate market exchange, or don't you get that?

Scooters can do daily commutes to work just fine. they can even haul a wife or kid to "busy lives" .

Trucks are going to USA natural gas. $2 a gal.

And most of the cost of shipping things is corp profits, not the cost of the fuel or the truckers.........................People pay $3000 to ship something that a O/O
only gets $1000 for. A company driver even less than Min wage. And he pays taxes, licences, insurance, tires, truck payments, etc etc etc from that $1000.

"My" President did take care of Iraq, he won the war, "your" President lost the peace

The Iraq War didn't begin until March 2003 so you have no idea what you are talking about, again as usual.

You really don't understand leadership do you? All you seem to care about is social issues and economic and foreign policy issues just get in the way of your own leftwing agenda. Ask Truman about leadership and where the buck stops?
