Fallujah falls to al-Qaeda, Obama goes golfing

For O, its a victory celebration.

They hit us at 911, we drove them into Pakistan and hanged Saddam, but now they've captured our palace.

Isn't maybe the first war we've lost but the first we've lost in such a dramatic fashion. If this was billiards this was a genius shot off the rail.

This one is on Bush. Instead of blathering about how Islam was “a religion of peace,” he should have been cordoning off this city and levelling it.

All our dead Soldiers and for nothing. Let the whole place burn and they can kill each other who cares. I'm for the Ron Paul route bring our Soldiers home and close the borders. Isolation.

Exactly the approach I would have taken. At the time, I was uncertain if I would have allowed women and children to exit the city as it would have put more of our soldiers and marines at risk. On the other hand, if the war was executed properly from the very beginning, there would be no city after the first week - think Dresden on steroids.

My nephew was there...in Fallujah....and then stayed for that voting day... to provide cover and protection to secure the vote.

I will remain ever proud of him and the Marines for what they did for Fallujah during those December days.

It isn’t up to us to secure their freedom any longer, if they want to keep that ‘gift’ of freedom and liberty, well then they have to do that for themselves.

I'm no Obammy fan.... but I gotta say... we had no business getting our guys all shot up and killed fighting for Fallujah. The whole "spread democracy" and they will be our friends thing just didn't hold water. We're not going to change that culture. Our only hope was to bomb them into the middle ages and let them spend their time trying to learn how to live in a radioactive wasteland.... instead of trying to figure out how to hit America again.

So while I agree Obammy plays to much golf... (since he's not retired).... I'm not interested in more boots on the ground in Iraq. If we don't like what's going on in Fallujah... just make it cease to exist and go on down the road.

many senior military and government officials in Japan believed that FDR was effeminate and a man of weak character

Compare preference given to hiring of gay males to guard the US diplomatic outpost in Benghazi.

I will never believe that [Ansar Al-shariah] would have attacked our Benghazi compound were promotion of the LGBT agenda not at the heart of US foreign policy. Well, OK, the fact that we're being led by a flaming Islamic sympathizer, who cannot tell the truth played a major role, too.
