SIGNYM: I will post this in both threads we are currently debating in and call it a day as far as you and I are concerned in these two threads. We can do battle when something new arises.

Loved it buddy.

Indeed, real life calls.

Not to make light of the situation, but here is a group of people who are, if anything, even more cynical than I am.

Read the comments, they're a hoot!

President Obumfuck didn't lift a finger to save Fallujah or Mosul or Tikrit from the jihadist slaughter. Now he's flown to California to play golf, as Baghdad is about to be encircled. His advisers are briefing him and Susan Rice on how they're gonna blame a Tawney Kitaen-Whitesnake video for the Baghdad genocide. And then Hillary will say "What difference does it make now?"

Please do not beat me with a big stick but……..

They did the same thing to Bush as he golfed during both the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. It too goes with the job.

"Yanno, it occurs to me.... the occupation of Iraq by ISIS ... this might BE Obama's foreign policy."

I agree, the thing to look for is patterns of attack and restraint.




OONJERAH - We are too dumb to live and smart enough to wipe ourselves out.
"You, who live in any kind of comfort or convenience, do not know how these people can survive these things, do you? They will endure because there is no immediate escape from endurance. Some will die, the rest must live."

I suppose some of you are old enough to remember what happened when we left Vietnam?

Wars for profit don't leave countries in better shape.

G, wow you must really have a grudge against me. Apparently, so much so that you can't even read straight!

And in Syria too? All to get Maliki out? Lot of trouble for something that a check with a lot of zeros could fix in a day. Or fewer zeros and an accident. I think the worst part is how you marginalize the ISIS by assuming they can't be a real group, full of their own will and self determination, that they could only exist to do our bidding. That seems rather single and self-centric. You could be in the US foreign service (the one you hate) with thinking like that.-G



You missed the part where I said

For example, the idea that ISIS may be a tool of our foreign policy... I put that out as an idea, not a conclusion, but I also added what I think we could be looking for in terms of evidence.

One GINORMOUS difference... Bush stopped playing golf, while Obama has played more golf than any President - ever.

And he's teeing it up again this weekend. Again.
