I think this may be the 1st thing that I have ever agreed with our Great and Powerful leader on. Thoughts?

So we roll in to a f*cked up country, f*ck it up even more, then leave and tell them they need to "solve their own problems"? Sweet.

America: not winning any overseas popularity contests.

Well the whole going in there in the 1st place is a separate issue...but the options were to either stay there and babysit them at our expense for eternity or to leave and let the chips fall where they may.

Their military that the U.S. trained, abandoned the equipment that we supplied, stripped off their uniforms and ran. Gee, where have we seen this before ?

[Kraven251]

well, we need to pull the rest the folks out of the area. Let these people that hate us so much, go back to hating each other and wait for Syria and Iran to cut the country into pieces, and let's not forget the Kurds taking their slice to make Turkey nervous ...

Then they can all fistfuck each other and leave the rest of us alone.

Let us not forget they pretty much wanted us out toward the end there... just like Afghanistan is now.

They are happy to take the money we are pumping in there and then kick us out of the country when the mission isn't done or the people of that country Still are not ready to take over yet. Then grovel and blame us for not helping after they realize they can't handle things after we have prematurely left because they wanted us out.

We show them what welfare is all about and they don't want to help themselves? Go figure.

So Iraq army is getting their ass kicked and ask for air support, O says no. Major city falls and Oh Shit now nobody can deny there is an actual civil war raging in Iraq. O has a press release saying all options are on the table except boot prints. That about it?

When they asked for air support the proper response was "this is what it'll cost you." Charge them for every hour of flight time, for every bomb dropped and then tack on some extra. O has no problem bombing people in Pakistan and he just let the situation escalate because he couldn't touch Iraq before the midterms.

The kurds are the only winners I've seen in this.

Maybe Obummer will see the domestic correlation???
