There are no solutions for Iraq. Not anymore.

[rdean]

To understand why there are no solutions, you have to understand what Bush and the Republicans did to Iraq to put that country in such a terrible position.

Of course, the invasion was the first problem. Iraq never attacked the United States. They didn't ask to be "freed". The saw us from the first as invaders, not liberators.

The most obvious is that Republicans and Bush had no idea there was a difference between Sunni and Shiite. All they saw were "Muslims". By not knowing the religions or the people, there was no understanding of what "not to do". So Republicans blundered into doing everything wrong they could possibly imagine.

Iraq had an active duty military of 250,000 and an inactive reserve of 500,000 making it one of the largest armies in the world. Bush and the Republicans fired them. Just let 250,000 armed and trained men go. Suddenly they had no jobs and no money for their families. But they still had their weapons and a new found hatred of the US.

If Bush and the GOP knew anything about the Iraqis, they never would have put Shiites into power thereby creating a sister state with Iran.

Republicans helped those Shiites author a right wing, extreme Islamic Constitution:

Article 2:

First: Islam is the official religion of the State and it is a fundamental source of legislation:

A. No law that contradicts the established provisions of Islam may be established.

Not really.

I understand that Obama has been president for the past 6 years, but was never qualified for the job, and has completely screwed up Iraq during this period.

No he didn't. Bush and the Republicans totally screwed over Iraq before Obama was even inaugurated. It didn't matter who was president. The GOP's damage was already done.

You didn't address a single issue I brought up. Only "It's Obama's fault" and he wasn't even president when the damage occurred.

If Obama can't resolve this it's impossible ???? BULLSHIT.
Have him step aside then and give an optimist a shot at it . Fuck this loser attitude.

Blah, Blah BLAH.......


Amazing how Obama can blame everything on History, even though 6 years of it has been HIS HISTORY!!!

Consequently his will be a legacy of failure.

These right wingers have no solution either. There isn't any. The GOP damage has been done. About the only thing we can do is try to protect the Kurds and the few Christians that are left after the GOP did nothing to protect them.

Obama's bombs will be seen as "Liberator, not Conqueror Bombs".

Yo negative Nancy----take your boy and run. Let some people who know what they are doing handle this.

The "right wingers" solution was to invade Iraq, depose an insane dictator, and help democracy grow.

They never anticipated Barak Hussein Obama's leadership being so astonishingly incompetent, that the entire scope of years of toil, thousands on American lives, and American treasure would be frittered away.

The fall of Iraq will always be something to decorate the Obama Presidential Library.

If McCain had been elected in 2008, this would not be happening.

If Romney had been elected in 2012, this would not be happening.

Whatever Islamic fanatics savages touch turn to hell..... they want their caliphate.... doesn't matter how many million beheadings of infidels will take.

Shia, sunnis its all the same.... medieval monsters of evil who will take us all to a very dangerous worldwide conflict!

 

[whitehall]

The US lost 50,000 American Troops in three years as a result of a democrat president ordering the US Military to Korea on an "executive order". The mission was so poorly run that we traded a victory for a truce still have Troops along the 38th parallel to this day. The Iraq adventure by President Bush was doomed even though he had permission from a reluctant 36% of congressional democrats because the media was united with the democrat party to undermine the mission.

This will always be at the bottom of the problem with them and anyone who deals with them.

 

[whitehall]

Democrats can't comprehend the concept of Military victory and they will never allow the United States to achieve victory in Iraq or anywhere else even if the power vacuum destabilizes the region. John Kerry was the perfect choice by Obama to run foreign policy. The egocentric traitor will fuck it up so bad that the US will be nothing but a 3rd world country in a couple of years.

 

[tinydancer]

What is happening currently in Iraq has nothing to do with Bush. Give it up rdean. ISIS was nothing but a two bit wannabe jihadist organization until the conflict in Syria.

Obama owns ISIS. Period full stop.

So do other western leaders including my very own conservative PM Harper who were so bloody invested in trying to depose Assad they turned a blind eye to Baghdadi and his ISIS as they became the most powerful and wealthy terror army this world has ever seen.

All the blood that ISIS sheds is on their hands.

You're insane.

American casualties grew every year under Bush. Then he had the "surge" because he had completely lost control. Only heavy, brute force from the US kind of limited violence for awhile. But once that was gone it rushed back. It was always going to.

Just your statement proves you know nothing.
