[tinydancer]

Obama is putting Isis in charge of both Syria and Iraq

Links?

Absolutely TEAM OBAMA.

 

[tinydancer]

This thread is a good example of conservatives having no interest in a bad situation that they cannot really blame on Obama.

This comes down to a real simple problem

Obama is good at arming the folks he wants to 'save' and then remove
.

-Geaux

Not sure where you're coming from Geaux. Obama has wanted to take out Maliki since he took office. Just like he wants to remove Assad.

A bullet in the head...appoint a strongman...get back to the way LIBTARDS are happy with.

Anyone who actually keeps up with these things knows that Malaki's days as president are numbered.

Meanwhile, just who is Obama supporting? I can't keep up with his endless moving targets

-Geaux

Maliki was chosen by Bush, the President has been quite open in his request that Maliki step down; Maliki has chosen not to do so. Bad choice by Bush, yes. Zero Hedge is........not worth -0- on this; Maliki called in the troops to be available when he announces he is running for a third term. There was a thread on this yesterday.

Yup.

to catch some people up ...


Latest update : 2014-08-11
Iraq’s highest court ruled on Monday that Shiite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki’s bloc is the biggest in parliament, meaning that he could retain his position according to his supporters.

According to the Iraqi constitution, the president must now ask the biggest group in parliament to form a new government.

The ruling was interpreted by Maliki’s supporters as a sign that the embattled premier could retain his position. However, court spokesman Abdelsattar Bereqdar told the BBC that the court had asked the president to choose the bloc with the largest number of MPs without naming any specific bloc.

Maliki, serving in a caretaker capacity since an inconclusive election in April, has defied calls from Sunnis, Kurds, some fellow Shiites and regional power broker Iran to step aside to make room for a less polarising figure.
A senior Iraqi official told the Reuters news agency that the ruling allowing Maliki to serve a third term was “very problematic”.

“This will make the situation very, very complex,” said the official, who asked not to be named due to sectarian sensitivities in Iraq.


On Sunday night, police said special forces loyal to Maliki were deployed in strategic areas of Baghdad after he delivered a tough speech on television accusing Iraq’s Kurdish president of violating the constitution by missing a deadline to ask the biggest bloc in parliament to nominate a prime minister.

Iraqi PM Maliki Plans To File Legal Complaint Against Newly Elected President

BAGHDAD (AP) — The head of Iraq's National Shiite Alliance says it has chosen an alternate nominee for prime minister instead of incumbent Nouri al-Maliki.


Ibrahim al-Jaafari said Monday in a statement that the alliance of Shiite political parties has agreed to nominate Haider al-Ibadi to replace al-Maliki and to form a new government to unify the country against the growing threat of radical militants.


Al-Maliki has insisted that his party, State of Law, which is part of the alliance, should select the nominee.


Al-Maliki delivered a surprise speech in the early hours of the morning accused the country's new President Fouad Massoum of blocking his reappointment as prime minister.

According to The Associated Press, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki plans to file a legal complaint against Fouad Massoum, the country's new elected president, for committing "a clear constitutional violation." Maliki claims the president is obstructing his own re-election and has carried out a "coup against the constitution."

A bullet in the head...appoint a strongman...get back to the way LIBTARDS are happy with.

It is pretty obvious at this point that a strongman is best for most countries in the region of the world in question. They aren't ready for democracy.

 

[tinydancer]

Gee we all know how well Obama's pick of Morsi worked out in Egypt. President "non interference" doesn't exactly have a great record out there.

Sheesh. He put the thugs in power in the Ukraine and kicked in a civil war. If I was Maliki I would just give it up and let Obama wreck another country. Retire to Dubai and let Team Obama errrr ISIS take over.

Absolutely----they loved Saddam. Everything was great when he was running the show.

Then why is Obama determined to oust Assad ? Doesn't he get it ?

I have no idea what Obama's plans are for Syria and Iraq. He's, unfortunately, continuing the policies started by those before him.

Weren't you listening to his demands that Assad is a baby killer and must go ? That wasn't anything Bush was involved in.

Yet, Obama is supporting Maliki?

-Geaux

Actually, the President of Iraq. At this time, ISIS is the greater concern, allowing al Qaeda to remain had its risk, and here they are.

Well Assad was never involved in a civil war/insurgency during the Bush era. I was speaking of the overall meddling in the ME by the US which goes back many years, I wasn't referring to Bush only.

He's the type of leader that the liberals claim is best for Muslims. A strong man. Yet Obama is openly wanting to depose him and actively assisted those who trying to oust him. Assistance that the US gave the rebels is now in the hands of ISIS. He was warned this would happen.

I assume the far left has a link showing that Bush chose Maliki without using far left blog sites to prove this assertion. Otherwise it is nothing more than far left lore like 99% of the claims made on this board and in the far left blog o sphere.

Maliki is out, according to the President of Iraq:

Iraqi President Fouad Massoum called on Haider al-Abadi, a member of Maliki's ruling party and currently the deputy speaker of parliament, to form a new government.

Proves that Obama dropped the ball on Iraq and all the claims from the far left on this board are 100% false.

On 21 December 2010, al-Maliki's government was unanimously approved by parliament more than 9 months after the 2010 parliamentary election.

So to the far left Bush was president in 2010.

So the far left rants about Maliki was all for not just so they can blame Booooosshhh!

Once again the reality does not fit far left lore.
