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

Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

Liberals tend to believe American presence is the worst thing that can happen to a country, despite incredibly strong evidence to the contrary.

Cons tend to think that being occupied by the U.S. is a blessing despite the strong evidence it isn't. Cons want freedom, but only for themselves not for other countries. How's that for the hyperbole game since you want to broad brush all liberals Con?
 
Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

Tell them what? Who is lying to Iraq??

When we occupied Iraq we told them it was only temporary. You want to make it permanent and lie to them. Not suprised, most cons lie anyways.

I don't think anyone wants to occupy Iraq. I think people are concerned about Isis. They are insane. Perhaps we might consider containing them?

The bill Clinton style drop a bomb and pretend you stopped hitler thing really won't cut it with these nuts. Well unless you kill their leaders. But you still need to target Isis.

You are mistaken there, there are some on this board that say we should stay there like we are in Germany now. The difference of course is that Germany has actually agreed to it where Iraq wanted us out.

You have no idea what occupy means. You think we occupy Germany, Japan, and Korea? We needed to keep a peace keeping force in Iraq to make sure we got a return on our investment, something apparently you don't understand. Do you actually believe ISIS would be a challenge today if we had that peace keeping force in Iraq? Obama lost the peace and that is the reality you don't seem to grasp

We launched bush’s war, to topple a despot, WHICH found us occupying Iraq for 8 years, 8 months, 3 weeks and 5 days; that miscue ended up with the virulent disease called ISIS. AND YOUR SOLUTION IS A “peace keeping force in Iraq “?:lamo
 
Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

Really? Is that why they have begged us to come back and are willing to do anything to get us there? Oh yeah, they aren't.

They are very proud, but even so they have asked for us to come back-in fact they also asked us to never leave-as did our generals. Obama decided it was time to golf and now terrorists control a huge region there. This is hope and change.

You stay until its taken care of-thats certainly what they do. See my sig. And nobody is lying-this is a long game.

Exactly. This is what we have learned becoming the worlds best at counter insurgency warfare-you plop yourself right down in the middle of them, make it known you aren't going anywhere-and then start converting the the molecular structure of their bodies via large amounts of kinetic energy.

We did it in 2007 Iraq, as well as afghanistan-in fact it worked well enough that the cockroaches only come back once we are gone.

So if we occupied Iraq where are the U.S. owned oil wells? ISIS is thanks to Obama, Bush won the war and Obama lost the peace. That is reality.

It wasn't just bush's war, it was widely supported by dems, and in fact regime change was made policy in Iraq by dems.
 
Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

This Current Occupant of the WH is an economic and foreign policy disaster. What a shame that leadership is so lacking with this President. I cannot believe he continues to have any support at all but then again that just goes to show that low information voters have no understanding of leadership, no understanding of personal responsibility, and no understanding of what it takes to manage foreign and domestic policy. I feel sorry for supporters because I tried to tell you in 2008 who you were voting for and you didn't listen. 4 million more got the message in 2012 but not enough to get rid of this incompetent. The American people and our country suffer today because of that decision

Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

The asshats you are referring to are the Taliban. The Taliban controlled the government of Afghanistan at the time. The Taliban gave al queda and the most notorious terrorist in the world a safe haven. The Taliban associated themselves with Osama Bin Laden. For all practical purposes the government of Afghanistan was complicit in the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01. Therefore Afghanistan did attack us. We gave them the opportunity to turn OBL over to us. They refused.

The power vacuum that was left in Afghanistan as a result of the US arming the jihadist group, Mujahhideen, gave rise to the Taliban that we had to then fight on the battlefield later, just as we've created power vacuums in Iraq, Libya and Syria, which is causing unprecedented chaos in the ME. But idle on with your support of insane US policy in the Middle East.

Yep, more Democratic Party failure. Or did you support regime change in Iraq?

Things change, and they weren't our enemy then. Many weren't after 9/11 either.

If you want to see a power vacuum, see A-stan after Obama pulls out, it will be like Iraq.
Liberals will lose a war for politics.

Its insane to think that you can support jihadists today, and they won't cut your head off tomorrow. In fact it's precisely what were witnessing.
 
Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

I support it. Bush's failing was overselling the WMD threat.

So the Democratic Party got that one right. You support power vacuums that produce more trouble then the original power that was removed. It will be good the day the US is pushed out of the ME.

Have you ever heard of the Iraq Liberation Act and do you know what that act stated? I suggest you find out and get back to us as well as when it was signed and who signed it.

Who's us? And where's your link for your point. Or do you think I go googling around on your command.

Those of us who understand the threat of Radical Islam and know that you cannot bury your head in the sand or negotiate with evil. Very easy to find the Iraq Liberation Act by simple Google. If I provide the link you will ignore it but here it is anyway

Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

Lets just keep creating enemies and giving people reason to want to cut our heads off.


(CNN) -- U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan have killed far more people than the United States has acknowledged, have traumatized innocent residents and largely been ineffective, according to a new study released Tuesday.
The study by Stanford Law School and New York University's School of Law calls for a re-evaluation of the practice, saying the number of "high-level" targets killed as a percentage of total casualties is extremely low -- about 2%.
The report accuses Washington of misrepresenting drone strikes as "a surgically precise and effective tool that makes the U.S. safer," saying that in reality, "there is significant evidence that U.S. drone strikes have injured and killed civilians."
It also casts doubts on Washington's claims that drone strikes produce zero to few civilian casualties and alleges that the United States makes "efforts to shield the drone program from democratic accountability."

I'm the one that realizes it much more than you. Which is why I've consistently said that the US should STOP advancing policies that embolden jihadist groups. How have you missed this very important premise of my chief criticisms of US foreign policy in the ME.

What exact policy did the United States execute that causes people to cut off the heads of innocent civilians and implement a policy of convert or die? You really are very naive.
 
Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

The ILA is more failed US policy in the ME that has left a vacuum in Iraq, much as vacuums were left in Egypt, Libya and Syria. And now we have emboldened jihadists, more powerful then the last running around menacing the region.
