Yep. The ones who had any sense or grew up are on here and prepping.
By the evil designs of dear leader.
This is intentional.
See tagline
Because he loves communism and because he hates our allies like UK, Germany, Israel, Canada, etc., and especically because he wants to build up the global IslamoNazi caliphate (dictatorship) at our expense and the expense of everybody else in his way.
Question answered, see above.
Yep. And we can add onto that the incredibly inept handling of foreign policy by her successor, an unashamed traitor to the United States.
Bush left Iraq in better shape than it had been in since WWII. 0bama squandered it. Bush overthrew the Taliban in Afghanistan in three weeks, the direct upshot of 9/11 and fully deserved. Unfortunately, neither man was able to come up with a policy guaranteeing that they'd stay out of government. That's not really too surprising; foreign powers have been trying something like it there for most of history with equal lack of success.
But for the absolute, bloody shambles in the Middle East we have to blame progressives who simply could not conceive of the U.S. as anything but unbearably imperialistic under Bush and "all better now" that a Nobel Peace Prize winner was in office to reverse not only all his predecessor's policies but most of the country's for the last four decades. The result we see before us, and it isn't pretty, and hearing an idiot like Josh Earnest bleat that all is well only rubs salt in the wounds.
I’ve been simultaneously ramping up both my ability to grow food for my own family and ability to defend it by various means.
With any luck, before everything goes to crap, I’ll have my own small water tower, biocomposting toilet, and solar panels, so I can go completely off the grid.
Crazy Joe, I have the short simple answer for you. It was the misguided policies of Kennedy (Cuba), LBJ (Vietnam), Carter (the entire Middle East, Iran and the USSR) Clinton (the Middle East) and 0bama (everything he touched). The adults in between we’re stuck with picking up the pieces.
I could say it began with James Earl Carter, but I have to put the onus on one Barack Hussein Obama....ummm...ummm...ummm.
That's part of it, but the fact that the State Department plainly has had no competent orientalists on the Middle East desk since at least the administration of Bush the Younger started the disaster. How do I know they didn't have any? If they had, someone would have warned that the invasion of Iraq was ripping the bandage off the Sunni-Shia fault line and that measures would needed to deal with this. If someone had given that warning and been ignored, they would have, by now, written a tell-all memoir. No such book has appeared, ergo, there was not a competent orientalist at State.
Awesome. We’re about to build a greenhouse.
Putting ANY Democrat in charge of foreign policy is like putting Yogi Bear in charge of the picnic baskets.Never a good idea.
Bush’s democracy project was a cover of the real politics, which was to block Iranian expansion. It was thwarted by the failure to install an Iraqi government in place of Saddam’s, one which included the Sunnis, and by dissolving the army. It seems that there was division inside the Bush administration about what that government was to look like. We put in a viceroy instead, We needed a McArthur but didn’t have one on tap.
Obama knows what he is doing but is lying about it until events make it hard for us to reverse the course he has set. He wants detente with Iran.
Disarray is too mild of a word.
Scarborough was a sellout even before Bush though, so it all computes...I think...
Hey Joe, there’s some girl sleeping on your office floor. Oh, wait...

Much has been written about the Middle East crisis from a 'political' perspective,... but it will never be understood apart from its spiritual roots,... for it is from start to finish a spiritual conflict – which is why it will never be settled politically.
