Worst headline in history..?

Reminds me of Popular Mechanics —cover features eye-catching, ultra-cool layout of turbo **Orgasmatron**, but page page page page through (no page number given), and lo and behold there’s ONE paragraph.

Sux.

Not bad for being “on the run”...just a few months ago.

I don’t know, maybe Sadaam wasn’t such a bad guy to have at the helm over there. What do you think, George?

I grieve for all those that lost life and limb over there and Obama throws it all away.

Boy was I ever wrong. To be fair, no one but the smartest people could have anticipated Husein Obama. George and I are not the smartest people.

Read between the lines:
1. Mosul (in northern Iraq, near Syria) has fallen to al qaida.

2. The Kurds will not lose their economic interests easily and will draw a line just south of their oil pipeline to Turkey. Then they will strike a deal with AQ that will basically say, “you stay on your side, and we’ll stay on ours” leaving the Sunni triangle and Tikrit to AQ.

3. AQ just got ALL of the military equipment the Iraqis had, that we gave them, in Mosul. That will include helos, aircraft, armored vehicles, tanks, humvees, mortars, small arms, night vision devices and artillery. Everything from fighter jets to body armor. They should be able to equip at least a couple battalions with that stuff. But they don’t have spare parts or ammunition resupply for the big things.

4. AQ just got a LOT more combat capable.

Hopefully the Iraqis weren’t storing any anti-aircraft missiles at their garrisons in Mosul. What am I thinking? Of course they were...

Correct.

Plus a Biden bonus.

The country is going to be divided into Kurds, Sunni, and Shiite.

Time to celebrate the release of 5 Taliban generals. Now that Obama has announced we will negotiate with ISLAMIC terrorists the world is their oyster.

Obama’s CIA Operation Arab Spring is in full force.

Jarret must be pleased.
