oh this author is so breezy and cool, bopping off to Amsterdam (we all know why potheads go to Amsterdam and it isn’t for a conference unless you count a conference of substance abuse)

and coming back from a vacation when most people are struggling to pay for the overwhelming debt the administration has buried us with

so sorry he’s unhappy about the world going to hell in a handbasket while he was in a druggy daze

Che Hussein Obama is saying that Maliki deserves ISIS. Which is the worse possible thing he could say.

Let’s understand this. The terrorist group ISIS is populated by blood thirsty killers, former Bathist party members and thier sons and Bathist fugatives. They want to impose Sharia Law. BUT, this is all justified because the Maliki government could be more “inclusive” to Sunni’s and allow them to redress thier grievances.

Imagine if Occupy Wall Street took over lower Manhattan and beheaded 1,700 random people that happened to be in business dress. Wait...sorry. Forget that analogy => Obama would support it.

I take from Obama’s statement that he is without a doubt a Sunni Muslim. And, the Suadi’s and Katari’s (Sunni’s funding ISIS/ISIS) cheered when they heard Che Hussein Obama’s statement.

Time for you to go have an extra-large double espresso. What a load of crap you spewed.

[yldstrk]

you are entitled to your opinion

We need a presidential candidate to reverse America’s mistake in choosing Obama.

"oh this author is so breezy and cool"

Most people consider the author, Craig Pirrong, to be a NeoCon.

So he is spouting off the NeoCon points just like McCain, or Cheney, or all the NeoCons.

The NeoCon talking points are that we won the war in Iraq, while Bush/NeoCons were in power, then Obama gave the victory away.

The reality is that we got our ass kicked in Iraq. We killed thousands of Americans, wounded tens of thousands, and spent trillions. And accomplished nothing except shift the power from the Sunni to the Shia, and now the Sunni want it back.

We left Iraq on Iraqi terms, not US terms. George Bush signed the Status of Forces Agreement and the NeoCons complain because Obama couldn't convince the Iraqis to sign another Status of Forces that allowed the US to leave troops there.

I am extremely tired of those who call Obama with “incompetent.” He’s a criminal, plain and simple, determined to take this country down economically, and he is allied with others who feel the same way.

Generally I find most responses to articles here at FR have some degree of merit even if I disagree with the point made.

This mindless post fails to live up to those minimal standards - invective is rarely a point.

One need not go to Europe to find quality marijuana or any other drug for that matter.

BTW, capitalization and punctuation exist for a purpose, please learn to use them at your next law school.

If he wanted pot all he had to do is breeze to/Denver or California.

Unfortunately, I don’t see any flaw in his analysis.

We got our ass kicked?

Man, you are seriously demented.

The ‘Miss Bush yet crowd’ never gives up.

Remember the GWB international coalition?

20 Poles and hundreds of thousands of US troops.

I like McCain on The Morning Joe equating Iraq to Germany and Japan.

I don't understand this. @bama needs to erect his Greek(!) columns in westedrn Syria somewhere, and give a speech to his assembled islamist masses whereby he would simply tell them to lay-off for a bit.

They'd certainly listen. Or, at least take him and hold him for ransom. In any case, I'm sure the American people would rise and rally to his defense.

[yldstrk]

oh ok, I am mainly too tired to punctuate, but I do know how, don’t care if you believe me, will punctuate when I want to

[Ben Ficklin]

Talk it up, Mr NeoCon.

Tell me again about WMDs in Iraq, that you neocons invented as a pretext to invade. Tell me again about the underwhelming force you sent into Iraq to be slaughtered. Show me a picture of Americans getting blown up by an IED.

Bush and Maliki signing the Status of Forces Agreement

[Blood of Tyrants]

And he is reversing Bush’s gains in Iraq the worst possible way he can.

The US-Iraq SOFA was signed on November 17, 2008 by the Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari and U.S. ambassador Ryan Crocker.

US-Iraq Status of Forces Agreement

Signed by George Bush in 2008. It required all US forces be out of Iraq by Dec 31, 2011

You are confused. Try reading the article you linked. You will see it was signed by the parties I cited.
