Iran is <I>‘taking over Iraq’</I>
Coach is Right ^ | March 7, 2015 | Jim Emerson, staff writer

Prince Saud al-Faisal, the Saudi foreign minister warned that the Obama administration’s lack of policy is allowing Iran to “take over Iraq". The United States and its allies are only conducting an air war against the Islamic State but will not commit grounds forces.

The lack of U.S. presence and policy will allow the Iranians to exert a greater influence over the Shia Government in Baghdad. Win or lose the Iraqis will aligned themselves with the Iranians because they saw the Muslim apologists in the White House abandoned them to Sunni terrorists.

Iranian Major General Qasem Suleimani, leader of the Quds Force is credited for up to 20 percent of American casualties in the Iraq war. The terrorist leader is leading his forces and working alongside senior Iraqi officials fighting the Islamic State in the battle of Tikrit. This week Israeli Prime Minister warned the United States “Don’t be fooled. The battle between Iran and ISIS doesn’t turn Iran into a friend of America. Iran and ISIS are competing for the crown of militant Islam. One calls itself the Islamic Republic. The other calls itself the Islam State.

Part of Obama’s Deal with Iran is giving them Iraq and All the Weapons the US gave them.

Let’s be brutally honest though: George W. Bush started all of this when he overthrew the Iraqi government and removed the biggest roadblock to Iranian expansion in the region.

It’s an easy way to give US weapons to Iran

maybe it’s about time the saudi’s do some of the f-ing heavy lifting.
If not they can go the way of the Romans.
Defeated by savages even more so than than themselves.

I’m not sure how the Cato Institute is viewed here, I don’t know much about them myself but thought they were overall, okay. But it is interesting to read their website and apparently back around 2002, 2003, they were saying not to invade Iraq. Strange to read in hindsight.

I think they have even a rather scholastic looking report on it somewhere as well.

What a pity but we should have left troops there but I don’t want to play the blame game.

Bush got suckered by the UN NWO cabal, the same consortium of globalists running today’s game. Colin Powell was one of their operatives, an insider in the same game that brought Barry to purge Libya of Ghaddafi.

Unfortunately we are seeing the results of meddling and the lack of resolve by politicians. Bush may of started this but Obama made the matter much more volatile and thus his legacy is sealed.

Unless we elect someone with the guts to identify, and destroy the enemy, our great children will have to deal with this mess. What will that say about our legacy?

France and some other country started the attacks on Libya whereas we ended up doing more work but I’m still not altogether with the same arguments perhaps even Farrakhan uses and that it was an NWO hit. Surely, those countries could predict they’d get more refugees.
