As long as our troops are gone and did not die in this one I don’t give a rat’s ass.

I think that he did... and we offered a ride on one of our Military planes to khomeini... to fly him from Paris to iran. carter's putrid gutting of our military... his perceived weakness amongst all nations... his gutless approach to foreign policy... his marxist economic agenda... his progressive spending... his constantly talking down America and saying our best times were over... that we needed to learn how to live like they do in Europe... his telling us to turn thermostats down to 68 and put on layered clothing... to stop vacationing and driving as much as we do... and his refusal to lift a finger early on to help a close ally retain power. ALL of these things led to what happened in iran.

Yeah... the Shah was a dictator... well persians and arabs need a dictator... a Strong Man that all fear... it keeps the tribes from eating one another. One can see how peanut head nurtured the birth of modern radical islam. Refusing to attack iran with all of our assets when they seized our Embassy and people for 1/3 of his Administration. The signs were all over that a violent revolution was brewing before the return of the mullachracy... and yet carter did nothing to close our Embassy or fortify it with what it needed to make an attack too painful to succeed. He did nothing to help the Shah crush this rebellion. In fact... he did everything to encourage the mullahs to start their jihad to caliphate. obama is even worse... all of these things that I post about carter doing... are being implemented by obama as well.

I lived through those times and they seem like yesterday... America was weak and demoralized... our Military incapable under carter of mounting a successful rescue mission... Dead Heroes sent out without what they needed... all due to carter mandates... but the Israelis shown the world at Entebbe that it is possible to carry out an action like this successfully.

carter is the father of radical islam... Reagan pulled us back from the brink... we need a Reagan today... we do not have the good fortune to have another Reagan to lead us once again into the light. Now we are going to see all of the blood and treasure invested in iraq fall to a nation that we have been at war with since 1979.

Darn, I hate always being right when it comes to defining POTUS Obama as a total failure. But....I really thought it would take about six months for Iraq to unwind into chaos and revolution. Iran is on the march, and.....will have Iraq for breakfast, rather then lunch.with many thanks going to POTUS Barack Hussein (The Muslim Brotherhood) Obama, the destroyer of the American republic.

Hate to say I told you so....but the honest truth is the real truth!!! And.....kiss the entire Middle East and North Africa goodbye, starting with the Obama giveaways of Egypt and Libya!!! Yep, America, you got just what you voted for, a true, blue brother of the Muslim Brotherhood, Barack Hussein Obama!!!

“Next time, flatten all the infrastructure, split the country along ethnic/tribal lines, set them at each other’s throats, and leave.”

You mean what Joe Biden suggested?

“Hubris to believe we could change that.”

It was not like that when they had a strong dictator.

Well if you look I am not a Newbie or a Obamabott. You see I know all this about Islam and being attacked and bla bla bla. I have every right to be happy that our troops are out of Iraq and home safe. It is a battle that will never be won. We can argue all day. Merry Christmas!

My Friend, You , too, have a Merry Christmas!!! Me, I could care less about Iraq, Egypt, Iran, Libya, Pakistan, Afghanistan. etc. Why? I’m the over the hill gang, and have had a great life in America and around the world!!! I worry for my children and my eight grandchildren that are going through a world where America soon will be under attack constantly by enemies enabled, supported and abetted by our own POTUS Barack Hussein Obama.

I have spent much time in the Middle East, and.....believe me I know what is coming, sad to say. What really ticks me off is that we voted America hater & destroyer Barack Hussein Obama into office!!!

we voted

I hope you don't mean by "we" that you voted for Obama.

And I see here talk of Iraq descending into chaos. That implies there was some ascending. I haven't perceived much ascension from those peeplism's in the last 1300 years. All I see now is the SSDD.

I have absolutely come around to your way of thinking as well after these prolonged wars, which have now devolved into protecting one bloodthirsty group of savage moslems from another.

Time to get out of the middle of them and let them go at each other and do us all a favor. If they get distracted and try to hit us as well, we hit them back HARD in response - just as we initially did in Afghanistan - then get out. Time to stop bleeding to death slowly over in their 10th century hell holes, trying to nation build with barbarians who are not collectively capable of building anything.

Despite the potential talents of a relative handful of individuals that have risen out of the repressive stink of moslem culture, a majority willing to do what it takes to maintain a democratic, civilized society is NOT going to emerge in any of these places we've been entrenched in.

fueled by Iran, Iraq is facing a severe split and control takeover by the cut throats of Tehran. No American in-house protection equals open season for the bad guys with dynamite to do their thing.

No sooner do our boots leave the ground, than the Religion of Pieces begins blowing people up again. The only question is, how long will it take Al Qaeda to completely take over Iraq?

I do not agree that “Jimmy Carter gave us a radicalized Islamic Iran.”

Carter sure didn't do anything to prevent it, and in fact, everything he did do, only spurred on the radical Islamist takeover of that country.

Many of us here remember Jimmy Carter's disastrous blunders with Iran, all too well. It was one of the reasons he lost so badly to Reagan in 1980.

“All that time and money and most importantly all those precious American lives have been wasted.”

No, they haven’t. That’s an awful thing to say.

How has it all NOT been a waste? Our brave people died to give the Iraqi's a free and modern nation and they've squandered it. Iraq will be a battle zone again in a month. Iran will take over with the puppet Maliki. It's all been a waste!

The same is true in Afghanistan. Obmama and Biden are just dying to make nice with the taliban. They'll turn the country over to those blood thirsty pigs and they'll turn the place into a blood bath.
