Thank the Democrats,Obama and Hillary for all this foreign Policy they have created. And yes they have the nerve to criticize Ben Carson for his lack of Foreign Policy.
If we Americans are really this stupid we deserve what we receive.
There was no need to create that foreign policy if we hadn’t invaded. Save trillions and thousands of American lives by not invading in the first place.
The final blow to the neocons’ dashed dream of empire.
How I wish that was true.
That’s why they are hoping to elect Emperor Trump.
Let’em have it.
I’m sure Iran will get it first.
In fact, I’d venture to guess the real push behind the slackers in Baghdad to get them moving against ISIS has been Iran. And Iran has far more “advisors” than we have on the ground.
What!? How can your inner neocon allow such a shameful and disrespectful withdrawal?
You’ve got the wrong number, no neocons here.
Evidently you are too young to have witnessed Americans fleeing like frightened rats from Viet Nam.
Christ Will – getting your news from Sputnik?
“Sputnik is an international multimedia news service launched on 10 November 2014 by Rossiya Segodnya, an agency wholly owned and operated by the Russian government, which was created by aDecree of the President of Russia on December 9, 2013.[2] Sputnik replaces the RIA Novosti news agency on an international stage (which remains active in Russia)[3] and Voice of Russia.”
News flash, the real external power in Iraq – Iran!!!!!! Yeah, that’s right. Who’s pushing Bagdad to reconcile with Sunnis and fight ISIS – Iran. Who deploys paramilitary units to Iraq to oversee battles against ISIS – Iran. Who doesn’t have a natural alliance with Russia, and in fact is long term in competition with Russia – that’s right Iran.
But hey, I heard there’s an article on RT that Putin can bench press 1,000 kilos.
We have roamed around the world with our twenty-first century technology trying to tame, convert, and then control people and tribes with a tenth century mentality. The clash of civilizations is dramatic, look at some of the religious acts still practiced in the oil-rich nations of the Middle East. They don’t need us, and we sure as hell don’t need them.
At this point, leaving and giving it to the Russians should be considered the best alternative.
If Obama is not going to go “all in,” let’s get the hell outta there.
Next time, let’s just pick better people to save.
Agreed, and never go back.
The Russian are welcome to Iraq. They probably wouldn’t be stupid enough to pump billions of dollars into that corrupt and failed society.
I don’t know that any country ever learns from history. The Soviet Union wasted 10 years in the sandbox a couple of decades ago.
Ah yes, more Blame America First ideological rantings, supported by lies, misinformation and misrepresentation of facts.
OPEC and the Saudis have taken the price of oil into the toilet in an act of economic warfare primarily against Russia but affecting all of the West. Putin is buying low, and gobbling up puppet state territory. His target is Riyadh, make no mistake.
