How come no one cares about Obama's surge in Iraq?

When you dont submit a plan......when law says you should .......what are people to think........
 
Obama is their "Black God" they will support him no matter what he does.
 
And here everybody thought Obama didn't care...
So he's been careful, strategic and focused with the Iraqi military and our military in order to kick ISIS ass and what? Righties wanted "shock and awe" instead.

If he hadn't stupidly pulled out when he did, there would be no need for him to put on a phony supercape and risk American lives all over again, wasting the lives of the troops who took Mosul in the first place.

"You know they get out? They get out! That's how they get out. Declare victory and leave!" - a cut-and-run liberal who wants to be President.
 
The consensus on the Right is that they want ISIS to win, because it will make Obama look bad.
Obama sneaks back into Iraq after his idiotic, politically motivated retreat against the advice of his Generals. This is the cost of inept leadership, turning victories into losses, more battles more deaths and more money.

That is idiocy.
 
100,000 Iraqi troops in the offensive into Mosul. 500 Americans, mostly not directly engaged.

If conservatives had had their way, those numbers would be reversed. Thank you, President Obama.

I want ISIS crushed in a week, by whatever means necessary to accomplish it within that time frame.

Obama is not even an issue. He's useless.

Nonsense. It could all be done from the air, and quickly.

Flatten a city of 2.5 million people to defeat around 4,000 terrorists?
Well...I suppose that might work.

If they are not supportive of ISIS, why doesn't that city of 2.5 million people take care of the problem themselves? Seems it would be an overnight operation, just based on numbers.

Of course...you're right...it sounds really easy.

If he would have left a security force like we have in Germany, Japan, and Korea (50,000, 40,000, and 30,000 troops respectively) there would not be a need for a "surge" and tens of thousands of people would still be alive. Those wars ended about 70 years ago, but we still have a large number of troops there.

Politics shouldn't run a war. Once you are in the war, you do what needs to be done. Sticking to an arbitrary deadline that anyone imposed is stupid.

Surely the difference would be that Germany, Japan and Korea pay for the US to be there.
If they'd stayed in Iraq without invitation then wouldn't they have been an occupying force?
