I agree.
I currently have mixed thoughts on Iraq. We provided a peaceful way for the Iraqis to get along together. We trained their troops. We handed off to them.
The people who proudly held up their purple thumbs, evidently weren’t proud enough to prepare to fight off anyone who would deny them the right to a free nation.
So why exactly should we go in again?
I believe Iraq is more important than we realize. A peaceful Iraq that gets along with the West is important. Allowing a terrorist nation to arise there, would be a very bad outcome.
Some choices need to be made, and I don’t think this president cares about the safety of the Western World.
He sees an Islamic centric world to be preferable.
The citizen that voted this guy in, will be recorded in history as some of the most ignorant people in the history of human civilization.
We have gifted forward China, aided Islamic terrorists, while destroying our own military and even civilian infrastructure.
This is the decline of the United States.
It was another Dem president. Jimmy Carter that lost us Iran, when he didn’t support the pro-West Shah, who was our good friend, didn’t allow the terrorists to gain a foothold and was trying to bring Iran into the 20th century.
After Bush, we had another chance at stabilizing the Middle East by stabilizing Iraq, and Obama destroyed it.
With the Islamic terrorists ruling in Iran and Iraq, it’s only a matter of time, and not much time, before the other ME countries will fall and become solid footholds for the Islamic terrorists also, from where they can blackmail the world with oil, not to mention attacks that will make the 9-11 terrorist attack look like a small practice run.
I also truly feel sorry for Israel.
Excellent thoughts. Obama is an anti-colonialist and Islamic sympathizer, and for him the unravelling of Iraq and return to tribal rule is the undoing of the coalition government formed by Bush and other “white” western powers. In his mind, we probably deserve whatever retribution comes out of it.
This was all laid out in Dinesh D’Souza’s film “2016”.
BHO probably sees the post-Gulf War Iraq as the white man’s colonial oppression of native tribal rights to self-government, so he’s thrilled to see it all fall apart and descend into chaos under the Islamic flag. That’s probably why he stopped by an Indian reservation while he celebrates the fall of Iraq, as a tip of the hat to natives over colonialists.
PS — it’s been my thought for a while that tribalism is the opposite of civilization, and Obama is a tribalist, as are all Black Nationalists and Pan-Africanists. The chaos we see in third world countries is the result of tribalism over civilization, and that’s just how they like it. They have no use for the values and principles of western civilization. American street gangs are tribal as well, which is why this administration chooses to ignore their crimes and gives them a pass.
