He should be proud of what he did. His country called, and he served honorably, in more ways than can be counted. He should also be very very angry.

Toyotas are all over the ME and Africa.

They kind of took over when Land Rover went upscale with its trucks and stopped mass production of Defenders in various forms.

So happy I have a gimpy shoulder/arm from getting shot in this mess.

The fact that I gave up a promising sports career and get up any morning I mistakenly sleep on that shoulder in excruciating pain is made just all the more special now that I know Obama pissed everything away that my friends and I fought, suffered, and died for.

Well, happened to my dad in Vietnam. Happens here too.

Democrats can’t help themselves.

The thing that gripes me most about this is that we have/had real, strategic national interests in Iraq.

In Afghanistan we don't.

But Obama keep wearing out equipment and men in Afghanistan

is there some reason that convoy is not being bombed from 30,000 feet?

He is proud. Instead of being angry, he feels sad and powerless. Since the stroke, he tends to feel that way anyhow. He draws strength from things he accomplished when he was able. When those accomplishments are weakened, he feels weakened. He no longer has the strength to go out and fix what other people screw up. It helps him to be able to point to successful endeavors and say “I had a hand in that. I did my part in something lasting and beneficial.” It’s painful to watch it crumble before his eyes.

The thing is that if ISIS gets curb stomped, the Iranians get THEIR Shiite caphilate from Syria to Afghanistan.

on Dec. 14, 2011, when he was removing the last U.S. troops from Iraq, Obama gave a speech at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. Here he said his strategy based on building a sovereign, stable, self-reliant Iraq had succeeded.

“It’s harder to end a war than begin one,” Obama said at Fort Bragg. “Indeed, everything that American troops have done in Iraq—all the fighting and all the dying, the bleeding and the building, and the training and the partnering—all of it has led to this moment of success. Now, Iraq is not a perfect place. It has many challenges ahead. But we’re leaving behind a sovereign, stable and self-reliant Iraq, with a representative government that was elected by its people. We’re building a new partnership between our nations. And we are ending a war not with a final battle, but with a final march toward home. This is an extraordinary achievement, nearly nine years in the making.”

this is unbelieveable. A single column, driving down the only highway, in broad day light. We can take them completely out with our planes or drones. Whiskey, tango, foxtrot is he waiting for?

“President Obama’s announcement on Friday that all American troops would leave Iraq by the end of the year was an occasion for celebration for many, but some top American military officials were dismayed by the announcement, seeing it as the president’s putting the best face on a breakdown in tortured negotiations with the Iraqis. And for the negotiators who labored all year to avoid that outcome, it represented the triumph of politics over the reality of Iraq’s fragile security’s requiring some troops to stay, a fact everyone had assumed would prevail.”

I’m just a guy in the neighborhood. Let’s see, we were running arms in Benghazi to help the terrorist in Syria that were fighting Assad. They crossed the border and invaded Iraq. They’re on a roll. The mainly Shiite led government in Iraq in in disarray. Iran may help them. We’re supposed to help the Al Qaeda rebels invading Iraq or side with the Iraqi government and the Iranians in repelling the Al Qaeda ISIS rebels?

It’s a hell of a mess. We once at least had a policy and some direction. Now, under Commander Obama, there is none. Looks like the worst of the worst are going to take over while genius Obama tries to think it through. It’s going to be an Islamofascist bloodbath.
