Didn't Maliki tell us to GTFO? We should hold him to it.

If we do intervene, I hope to see protest signs with slogans like "Drop Dumb Obama, not smart bombs" and "No blood for oil".

@BarackObama 11 Oct 2012

President Obama on Romney: “He said it was ‘tragic’ to end the war in Iraq. He said we should have left troops on the ground in Iraq.”

You realize this (most likely) wouldn't be happening if the Iraqi government had not been overthrown and the whole power dynamic within the country flipped on its head, right?

I'm not sure how this is Obama's fault. The administration wanted to leave troops in Iraq to help with the development and ensure stability. Maliki told the US troops to GTFO. It's not our responsibility.

And now Maliki can fight his own war.

There should not be one more American death on Iraqi soil unless they attack us first.

Yep. frick him. Let him ask his Shiite brethren in Iran to spend their blood and treasure on a multi-year war and get nothing in return.

Just saw David Frum suggest we use saving Maliki's arse as a bargaining chip with the Iranians.

I still say we let that fricker burn.

It's an option if:

a) We can limit it to only air strikes and they can be successful with only the use of drones

b) It would actually work and progress the seemingly stalled negotiations

Neither of the above seem likely. Plus, could you imagine the backlash that the administration would receive if that term of a nuclear agreement became public?

Obama would have heard about it when it was released in the media, just like everything else.

Iraq asks U.S. for air strikes to quell uprising as militants continue push toward Baghdad


The Iraqis are learning what many of us Americans already know.....obama will abandon [and betray you] you in the blink of an eye.

This "Fraud" has created a humanitarian nightmare, of epic proportions, along our southern border as officials desperately try to care for thousands of Mexican Children in holding centers. I expect to see another humanitarian nightmare in Iraq as thousands of Iraqi refugees flee the threat posed by a resurging Al Qaeda. Islamic terrorist emboldened by a totally inept and pathetic Barack Hussein Obama. Barack Hussein Obama has no concept of reality and has no idea what he is doing.....or even cares.

This is what you get when you elect a pot smoking, marxist mentored, community organizer for President.

Obama isn't going to do anything. They'd be better off asking Putin for help.

If the necons had their way, we'd be in at least 4 different wars right now.



ETA: The above map is out of date. Crimean War Part II needs to be added.

Iraqi people need to grow some balls and take up arms and end this shite. Instead they take off running screaming "the big bad terrorist are coming" America help!
