Another soldier killed in Iraq today

[Rambunctious]

Another soldier dies in Iraq today fighting for a city we already won 4 years ago. Obama has at his fingertips the most powerful military on the planet yet he still is fighting a war that began 12 years ago. 8 years and he still can't win. He is a loser and Hillary will be even worse.

Actually, Bush won his Iraqi War. Obama declared Bush's Iraqi War over and done and pulled out our troops opening up the backfilling and rise of ISIS. Obama stated that he withdrew our troops because Bush failed to secure a protection agreement for our military troops. This is Obama's Iraqi War. It is strange that Obama pulled our troops out and allowed ISIS to take over because of that agreement but he has now some 5,000 troops in Iraq and they are there without Obama securing any kind of agreement with the Iraqi government.

Hillary stated in the debate last evening that once they retake Mosul, we will then invade Syria. Hillary and Obama still want to overthrow Assaud the way they did the Libyan leader.

I read a piece today where 25 countries voted the United States as being the single worst deterrent against world peace. The votes were by some of our own allies too.

Hillary will start a war with Russia, China, Syria, Libya, North Korea, etc. She is a war hawk. Russia has anti-aircrat missiles inside Syria now. Russia is Syria's ally. We are inviting having one or more of our aircraft shot out of the Syrian skies at any moment now. We would not tolerate a Syrian jet violating Texas air space.

The US defeated Iraq in a matter of weeks in 2003. As the occupying power, the Bush administration failed and Iraq fell in to the Civil war between the Sunnis and Shiites. After loosing the UN mandate to being the occupying power in Iraq , President Bush was forced to negotiate the SOFA with the Iraqi government before the end of 2008. The SOFA included the timetable for our complete withdrawal. He just left it up the the next president to carry out.

This effort against ISIS is a different strategy than President Bush used. Instead of American soldiers doing the majority of the fighting and dying, it is up to the forces that will hold the ground they take. Time will tell if it is a winning strategy.

Sad that we've lost even one soldier.
