Just popping in to see the discussion. Trawled through most of a page of posts which were basically just nitpicking sources, I think, and nothing else about Iraq, so I gave up.

Basically having a lazy Saturday....

What a strange way to talk to yourself.




SAGAN: We are releasing vast quantities of carbon dioxide, increasing the greenhouse effect. It may not take much to destabilize the Earth's climate, to convert this heaven, our only home in the cosmos, into a kind of hell.

Obama was more busy w/ airlifing illegal children to red states in the SW to concern himself w/ Iraq.

Remember, al qaeda is 'decimated', and its core leadership is on the run.

( But fret not! Obama will release more soon ! )




Really? Airlifting kids into the US? You're kidding, right?

Seriously, let them do each other in. We should butt out and use only drones. Truth be told, they've been going at it for thousands of years, long before America came into existence.

What about terror plots against us? When they finish killing each other off, drop a bomb and be done with it. That will send a message to the rest of the Jihadists. Problem solved!




Amen (except for the drones part - those things are expensive!)

"Thousands of years" is a very large sample size. I think it's safe to draw conclusions from that history, like: "stay the eff away."





Millions of years!?

Like I know what I'm talking about, ha ha!

Well, I may be mistaken on the airlifting part.

But sure as hell, they came w/ help from this WH. And no, I don't mean by a general misunderstanding, or even lax border work done, but w/ the full intent and design by the Obama admin.

This is fully manufactured, much like the Fast and Furious program, to force the issue onto the American public,and to do so in a manner which was wholly beneficial to Obama and the progressive movement.


Cloward and Piven, all frelling day long here, folks.

Between the press and some Republicans constantly suggesting the President has been acting skittishly when it comes to the Middle East, I feel it may start to influence his decisions. (Perhaps it already has)

We need to make sure ISIS stays within the parameters of where it exists now and eventually the Sunnis will clean house.

Iraq is a failed state created by the British I believe, and we need to let it divide itself up into what it resembled before. Let geography separate the religions.

It was easy to see this coming. It happened before.

Destruction of Mosul’s shrines sparks first signs of resistance against Islamic State

BAGHDAD – As al-Qaeda-inspired militants have reduced Mosul’s ancient religious shrines to rubble in recent weeks, their support has also crumbled, with popular outrage producing the first signs of resistance in the Iraqi city.
