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.

What does that have to do with your false claim that I don't understand the dangers of jihadist groups? I'm the one pointing out that as a matter of policy, the US has supported the very thing we end up having to fight latter. And you are both criticizing and defending this current administrations policies in the region, demonstrating how confused you are.

Obviously you aren't even paying any attention to what you are posting. It is your claim that the U.S. is creating enemies by our policies, what policies? Obama lost the peace in Iraq but his golf handicap is dropping.

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.

Afghani muj were not America's enemies.

Recently, Obama supported ISIS in Syria. And now he's fighting them next door-and all in a post 9/11 world.

Obama is a poor president.

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.

Not at all. And any day our nation is "pushed" wont be described my me as "good".

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."

Appeasing evil is a good way to increase violence and risk your head. These people wont be appeased, even if you would like to project your logic onto them.

Before I will take you seriously enough to answer such questions directly, you will have to prove to me that you understand that the idiots who are setting up the IEDs are terrorists who do not represent any nation....in the middle east or anywhere else. Perhaps then you will understand that I do not accept that any terrorism is justified.

It is states that sponsor this terrorism. You fail to realize that. Answering the question honestly however would incriminate your position.

No, sorry, they haven't but you do seem to try and justify the murder of innocent civilians by blaming your country.

Well, I'm glad you finally admit to failed US policy of support of jihadists in Syria. Now just admit all the other times its been done and then you'll be on the road to ME recovery. And yes, I agree as was his predecessor, Obama hasn't ended up a very good president. 6 in 10 now claim that. At Bush's end it was near 8 in 10. Americans tend to have better hind sight unfortunately, and presidents exploit that weakness. Oh, and then there's patronizing partisans that they can count on who'll look the other way.

You blame your country everyday as you come here and vandalize the Obama administrations policies. You only consider it blaming America when its done to republican administrations.

I am waiting for the policies that have led to ISIS beheading innocent civilians? I blame Obama for incompetence and you if you support him.

Okay so don't lie and tell Iraq you intend to occupy them as long as Germany and find out what happens.
Click to expand...

I don't think we would have had to stay as long as Germany. Just a small quick reaction force combined with air strikes as needed would have kept the ISIS goons at bay. And once they worked out their sectarian issues, we would soon be gone.

TheNextEra said:
sorry but even Bush saw a pullout and even scheduled it. Your Bush worship is showing.

You can stop playing ignorant. Bush fully intended leaving a quick reaction force behind and would have pushed hard for it. Your hatred of Bush is showing.
 
Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

And you want to Occupy Iraq for Decades. At least be honest about it.
Click to expand...

No....I don't think decades would be necessary. Decades were not necessary in Germany. Germany wanted us to stick around after stability for two reasons...one the cold war and two, the benefit to their economy. Once Iraq became stable....nothing wrong with us leaving, unless they invited us to stick around.
 
Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

Grant said:
Decades, yes, if that's what it takes.

I can't see anyone preferring what's going on there now.
Click to expand...

Yep....at least until they worked out their sectarian issues and their military could fend for itself against goons like ISIS.

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?

Your problem is that you project too much. And you are not good at it.

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 do not recall the Bush administration or anyone on this board using the term "permanent occupation" You are pulling that out of your hat.

I don't support him, and it shows how observant you are that you still don't know that. And again I've repeated the US failed policies that have emboldened jihadists REPEATEDLY.
 
Re: American Forces Said to Bomb ISIS Targets in Iraq

TheNextEra said:
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.
Click to expand...

You are pulling that out of your hat as well. Iraq actually wanted us to stick around a while longer. The disagreement was over whether US troops would be subject to Iraqi law.
