Vacationing Obama: Expect “Long-Term” Iraq Bombings

PRESIDENT: NEW IRAQ OPERATION WILL “TAKE SOME TIME”

U.S. president Barack Obama refuses to say when his bombing campaign against militants in northern Iraq will end – telling tapped out, war weary U.S. taxpayers the operation there will “take some time.”

“I’m not going to give a particular timetable,” Obama said prior to embarking on a two-week vacation on Martha’s Vineyard.

Obama also declined to say when – or whether – he would seek congressional approval for his latest military action, which puts America back in Iraq less than three years after its forces concluded a thoroughly unsuccessful eight-year invasion.

Obama ran for president in 2008 on a platform of ending the Iraq War – which he referred to as a “dumb war.”  Now, he’s insisting America “maintain vigilance” in the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) – a Muslim army that received American support in its efforts to take out Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.

(For more on that, CLICK HERE).

“I don’t think we’re going to solve this problem in weeks,” Obama said. “This is going to be a long-term project.”

Great … just great.

This website opposes military intervention in Iraq.

“These people are going to kill each other, pure and simple,” we wrote recently.  “Same thing in the Israeli-Gaza fight.  There’s nothing we can do to stop it.  In fact the more we meddle in their affairs, the more they want to kill us , too.”

Seriously … did trillions of wasted dollars and thousands of lost lives in this very country not teach us the futility of such interventions?

Republicans only became “concerned” about presidential vacations when Obama took them.

Remember the halcyon days of George W at his,ah, “ranch” with the staged brush clearin and wood choppin while wars raged in Iraq and Afghanistan?

But,gee, why bring that up?Fits?He Aint no damn Republican!(heh heh heh)

Biden suggested dividing Iraq into 3 different countries. Why not divide America in half?
If you look at an electoral map with red (pubs) and blue (dems) 98% of the “geography” shows Republican.
Give em all the metro areas and the state of California.
Would solve a lot of problems as this country is hopelessly divided between good and evil.

The common GOP defense is that they only point it out because Democrats pointed out Bush’s vacations. It’s all bullshit either way, since:

1) Presidents don’t have to make a decision every time a gnat farts halfway around the world.

2) Presidential “vacations” are probably not much of vacations to begin with. Riding a bike or swinging a golf club might be a break from work, but I doubt when he goes back to his room it’s all margaritas and nap time.

Presidents don’t age bigtime while in office because playing through 18 holes is that tiring (unless we’re talking about Bill, anyways).

Most people’s knowledge of history is sorely lacking. Without Google most would never know what the eleventh month, eleventh day, eleventh hour is all about.

I’ll bet most people don’t know why there is Moorish Architecture in Spain.

The Colonel August 9, 2014 at 8:09 pm

Most wouldn’t know Moorish architecture if they saw it and significant numbers couldn’t point to Spain on a map without reading the place names to make sure…

“In fact the more we meddle in their affairs, the more they want to kill us , too.”

Yazidis, Christians, Kurds and Shiites are in danger and have asked for our help. That’s not “meddling”. They have already expressed their desire to kill us. US policy should not be thwarted because of “the more they want to kill us”.

“tapped out, war weary U.S. taxpayers”

The expense has already risen for failure to act earlier. We will eventually have to deal with IS. The sooner the less expense and risk to innocent Iraqi and American lives.

What FITS is clueless about: The more we ignore their affairs, the more Capable of killing us they become…

FITS is very irresponsible in his style, and it extends to his politics. Obama and FITS were in lockstep on Iraq, and look at the F*#king mess they have made..and that ignorant Liberal-Tarian foreign policy has been a disaster around the world..

Funny how FITS acts like the world will end if we don’t put Border Crashers, who their parents abandoned, on immediate welfare, w/ college tuition. But babies being beheaded because they have Christian parents, are not worth defending, because it may cut into the cost of FITS’ dime-bag, Ron Paul is promising him..

Somebody fought for your irresponsible, bitter and sorry @$$ to be free…and you squander it on the bondage of the democrat party…sold as Liberal-Tarian…

That God people like you, and Satan, are NOT policing the world….We don’t need any more evil…

November elections are the ‘election’ strategy. American people believe him to be incompetent in regards to foreign policy…some even believe he is purposely weakening America and supporting our enemies.
Sad that many believe him to be ‘anti-Christianity’ however that is a fact. He had to act as the mass killing of 50,000 Christians in Iraq would have just confirmed that he is indeed a supporter of Islam. You can tell when he spaeaks he is ‘pained ‘ to have to help the Christians in Iraq just as he hated to turn his back on Hamas when Israel told him to go to Hell.
When Republicans gain control of the senate this fall Obama will turn his back on Iraq and the Christians. Kerry will be sent to negotiate with ISIS and tell them to relax as if Hillary is elected in 2016, she will have more ‘flexibility’ to appease the terrorists.
