This thread captures the sounds that warmongers make as they shuffle off into the sunset. It sounds like the sad mourning of one person alone in a dark Catholic church as he lights candles for his dead causes.
The occupations would be a matter of weeks, not months or years. The troops would be greeted as liberators. The occupations would pay for itself. Iraq would be a shining example of democracy in the Middle East. Mission accomplished. Funny how those who were wrong about everything are help up in every Sunday news program as foreign policy experts.
I just heard one of the experts say, If we don't help Irag we will be helping Iran??? What??? We blew it in Irag in 91 by not finishing the job (Hussein), We blew it again after we finished the job (Hussien) by sticking around to create a "democracy". Geez, I am not even sure that Iraq should even be a country with a population of Kurd, Sunni's and Shia. In any event the Sunnis are doing battle with Shia (Iran's boys) The US gave up what ever the hell we had there, let us not blow it one more time, let the Sunnis and the Shia have at it. We watch and heal. We probable do have a disaster coming though, I doubt Obama will evacuate the US from Baghdad in time.
trillions of dollars down the drain with a net result of more enemies than we had before, and shitloads of dead bodies. maybe its time to stop giving the pentagon carte blanche with our entire worlds future... seriously, somebody should get fired for this
The President ordered the USS Bush into the Persian Gulf. Why do you think he needs an AirCraft Carrier there? I hope it is to escort transports in and out of Baghdad with the US personel aboard when they leave. We will know soon I expect. http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/ir...ordered-persian-gulf-wake-iraq-unrest-n131256
When's Cheney going to weigh in? He loves to play the role of the wise, experienced Obama critic on war matters. We need his weighty voice to set us straight at times like this.

Tony Bush, of the famous Bush Revolution, says, "Hey man, don't look at me. It's Bush Jr.'s fault for not invading Syria. Maybe Hillary Bush will." http://news.msn.com/world/former-uk-pm-blair-says-iraq-crisis-not-his-fault-urges-action
Western oil companies got access to Iraq's oil fields and Haliburton's stock skyrocketed through no bid contracts. Mission Accomplished indeed. Now we'll see what happens to these western oil companies when the ISIS takes over.
Denny, what if you were president would you do? Send troops? What if Iraqi president said no. Hostile invasion? Drop nuclear weapons? Serious. I have criticisms - the US should never have gone in and trying to prop up a government that can't run itself after 10 years is not worth lives or resources. But all these would be presidents who LOVED the invasion, what do they want? Another invasion? It was reported the Iraqi troops, with superior numbers and arms, turned tail and ran. How does a US president prevent this? If troops have no morale and don't care to defend "their" country, what would President Denny Crane do? Vote to repeal ObamaCare?
I think it's too late to do anything but military action. However, this is a mess of our own making. If I were as clueless as the community organizer in chief about foreign affairs, I would seek advice from an expert. Tony Blair, for example, suggests the failure in Iraq is a domino effect resulting from the mess in Syria. I think I would have gone through NATO or the UN (UN unlikely) to establish peace forces in Syria a long time ago. On the other hand, I wouldn't be blindly supporting Obama and suggesting there was no other course of action all along.
Denny Bush, part of the Bush revolution, would thunder into Benghazi in his Cadillac, bomb the City Square, and announce victory in Iraq.
Spot on my lady, vote to repeal ObamaCare and leave the Sunni's and the Shia be for heaven sake, they are shooting at each other without our assistance.
