As Obama opts to send additional troops as "trainers" to Iraq (joining the 3000 plus we already have there) we are repeating the very SAME mistakes we made in Vietnam in the 1960s, and, at the cost of an estimated $9-10 million per day.
For all you right wingers who claim that us "lefties" never criticize Obama...tis thread, as others have also posted, proves you (as usual) wrong.
Joe Biden was correct when he openly stated that the future of Iraq will be to be broken up into THREE large sections. Had we listened to him, thousands of our troops would still be alive or not maimed....trillions of our dollars saved.....and possibly NO ISIS to be the thorn in our side.
Remember that as our "trainers" in Iraq will certainly be the coveted targets by ISIS, our losses will surely precipitate our increased presence there.
Was he?
Kerry told us in 1967 that leaving the South Vietnamese to their own fate would likely result in 3000 deaths; primarily of South Vietnamese officials who supported South Vietnamese Sovereignty.
He only missed by 2,997,000...
Kerry also told us that there was no risk to Iraq Sovereignty by pulling all US Forces out of Iraq. He also informed us that the Muslim Brotherhood was moderate and the US should arm Syrian Rebels... which of course resulted in the formation of ISIS, and the looming loss of Iraq to non-moderate (Islamic) forces of ISIS and the genocide of Christians throughout the Middle East.
Now, the reason that we went into Afghanistan, was that the same mindset that beheaded that little girl, abused the tolerance of the US Culture to come here, train as pilots and hijack four jumbo jets, flying those passenger laden missiles into skyscrapers, which were also full of innocent people... people who were just as innocent as that little girl, whose only crime was that she was a Christian, who refused to deny her faith.
The reason that we went into Iraq, is that the government of Iraq was a long time proponent of these savages, thus a clear and present threat to the United States, citizens of which it had attacked on numerous occasions using International Islamic terrorist proxies.
Now, largely due to the support and aid provided by obama and clinton... the evil has metastasized and is presently engaged in the genocide of the Christian people of the Middle East. Selling women into slavery... and selling them for the price of a pack of smokes.
These demons are not interested in Iraq being divided into three nations... they're not interested in anything which does not include the PLANET being singularly ISLAM... .
Just as the Leftist cult has cowed and convinced the children that most people are homosexual, thus coercing them to believe that since most people are homosexual, there is no reason that homosexuals should not marry, the ISIS cult is cowing and convincing people who do not want to BE that little girl, to BE ISIS or to at least openly support ISIS... or Else.
And for that reason, we must destroy ISIS, and Islam as a political force, entirely.
