I was watching Morning Joe this morning and there was some GOP Senator on there explaining GOP Policy in the Middle East and how it affects Isis and others and man, was it a hoot.
Joe Scarborough Schools GOP Senator About ISIS Coalition Strategy The Daily Banter
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) appeared on Morning Joe to spew Republican derp about how President Obama shouldn’t be taking “options” off the table because it’s not “inspiring,” while also maintaining that the last thing he wants to do is send in ground troops. What followed was the cable news equivalent of a dog performing a card trick, as Scarborough became one of the very few members of the media to expose the obvious flaw in that sort of, well, let’s call it “thinking.”
Scarborough was actually right about a couple of things. The first was the McCain line that we should have left a residual force in Iraq, because Iraq is just like South Korea and Germany. Senator Johnson tried that out on Scarborough, and Scarborough did what mainstream media folks like CNN have failed to do: he dropped a fact on him.

As far as Iraq being "stable":
---------------------
Maybe it was Iraq-stable, the United States was still taking casualties right up until the last troops left Iraq in December of 2011, (now here is the best part of all, read it carefully) and the troops would not have been protected from Iraqi courts had they stayed past that time. You think getting out of Mexican jail is hard?

Come on. It's hilarious that Republicans spent trillions trying to build the army that Saddam already had and they disbanded and now makes up the core of Isis.
Sen. Johnson was all over the place. I'm not saying we should do this. I'm not saying we should do that. But if Obama were a leader, he would be doing "something".
Republicans are saying we need to arm somebody and someone should be dying. Seems who that someone is, is part of the unspecified details. GOP policy reminds me of a chicken. But minus the head.
The GOP looks to be in full panic mode.
