The failure of the U.S. to impose Democracy has become the slow motion train wreck that many (myself included) people who opposed the Invasion said would happen.
Politico is reporting the one of largest Oil Refineries in Iraq has been captured. Mosul and Tikrit are now in rebel hands.
Rebels have captured one of the largest refineries in Iraq.
And what do all the Righties who got it wrong in the first place want?
Bomb Iraq.
Paul Bremer, Paul Wolfwitz, Bill Kristol and the rest whose lies about Saddam having ties to al_Qeada (none), lies about W.M.D. (Weren't any), lies about "Not wanting the smoking gun to become a Mushroom Cloud" (no nuclear weapons at all) these are the people who think all the U.S. has to is bomb Iraq and everything will be milk and cookies again.
The Obama Administration adhered to a plan for troop withdrawal drawn up by bush, and Mr. Obama is attacked for it.
The Obama Administration attempted to negotiate a Status of Forces Agreement (S.O.F.A.) that would have permitted a residual U.S. Force to remain in Iraq, but the Iraqi Government did not want that. Mr. Obama is attacked for that.
Nuri Al Maliki is a Sunni leading a Sunni Dominated Government (He promised to be inclusive and failed) that has done all it can to suppress the Shiite Minority. Mr. Obama is attacked that. Al Maliki was the U.S. selected dictator. Just like Saddam was the U.S. select dictator. And just like Saddam, Al Maliki is not interested in Democracy, it's all about consolidating power and suppressing the Shiite Minority.
Major Truth Cons, you cannot impose Democracy. Democracy at the point of a bayonet is not democracy, it is tryanny.
There can be no use of U.S. Military Force in Iraq, there is no easily identifiable ally to support.
Use of U.S. Air Power is questionable at best and just some food for thought, among the U.S. Military equipment left behind are.....wait for it....Stinger Missiles. Shoulder fired anti-aircraft missiles....brilliant idea that one.
There was no al_Qeada in Iraq before the U.S. Invasion.
This is you Cons created.
Live with it.
You've got it ass backwards. It's a Shiite dominated majority. The army of terrorists called ISIS is Sunni. They have been trying to overthrow Assad as well and are supported financially by Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
ISIS has been working with Saddam's old crew the Baathists to overthrow this government. They are not rebels. They are a army of terrorists.
Now if you want Sunni terrorists who make AQ look like Girl Scouts to have access to all the wealth in Baghdad and all the oil fields and all the military hardware we have given Iraq and last but not least open up a whole can of nasty whoop ass on the world, just say it.
Lord Almighty you freaking libs are worse than an ex wife who keeps dragging up the shit you did years ago instead of dealing with the issue at hand. GW made mistakes. Clinton made mistakes. GH made mistakes and so on and so on in the ME.
But the biggest mistake of all was by the League of Nations.
