Kerry and Barack were too busy opening the (back?) door to homosexuals into Ambassadorships.

Obama’s foreign policy screws it up yet again.

Obama to make a statement that the White House did respond, via email, but the cheap government computers lost them.

Like with the Tsarnaevs, this poshitus sure likes to give our enemies elbow room and peace and quiet to work.

...a major foreign official has accused Obama’s America of being a fickle, disengaged ally.

That's because Obama has been a fickle, disengaged President.

I remember Christopher Hitchens (famous atheist and Iraq-war supporter) saying from the beginning that the Kurds were the only reasonable actor in that region, and that from the end of the First Gulf War in 1991, they were the only ones who were naturally developing a relatively normal system of government that wasn’t based solely on Islam or the utterings of some crazy Imam.

There are only two answers, or a combination of these two.

1. Obama and his entire administration are totally incompetent.

2. Their foreign policy is working according to plan.

Pick 'em.

I worked PSD in Iraq for a few years. Used to take folks to see Barzani and other high ranking Kurdish officials. The differences between the Kurds and the arabs were ridiculous. They were so hospitable and friendly. Of course, all the Kurds were guarded by the Peshmerga, who’d chop your head off just as quick as they’d offer you some chai. But, they saved all that aggression for the arabs. When we went to the other Iraqi compounds it was gross.

They took offense to foreign PSD teams having visible weapons, so teams were required to leave their rifles in their vehicles and had to conceal their pistols. As far as the Peshmerga was concerned, they could and did handle their problems.

What’s interesting, is that right before I gave up working over there, three of the big hotel chains were in the process of building hotels in the Kurdistan. The Kurds are normal and want normal relations with the rest of the world, unlike the savages/idiots to the south.

I didn't get past this:

"That’s the second time in four days that a major foreign official has accused Obama’s America of being a fickle, disengaged ally. "

Obama may be fickle. But that is not why he ignored the Kurds. He is a Sunni. He is pulling for the Sunnis. ISIS is Sunni.

Connect the dots. There are dots in Syria. There are dots in Egypt. There are dots in Libya. There are dots in Afghanistan. And now there are dots in Iraq.

This is not Rocket Science.

If ISIS is more radically moslem than the kurds, then obama will back ISIS. he ALWAYS supports the most radical, most anti-American side in any conflict

I had not thought about that, and you are correct, the preponderance of the evidence is solid, obama is a Sunni!
