Dinesh D’Souza wrote that Obama is an anti-colonialist. I really see a lot of that character flaw in Obama in all that he does. I think he believes that he is “righting” a very old “wrong” by helping Islam re-establish the caliphate of old. Obama believes that the colonialist West “wronged” the Islamic people by conquering the Ottoman Empire and attempting to establish a civilized culture in the Middle East. Obama has a hardon for seeing it become a Caliphate again.

“Didn’t they call it “the Green Zone?”

The MSM called it the Green Zone to draw a parallel to Beirut. Everyone over there called it the IZ (International Zone), its official name.

“Almost as good as the CIA’s intel about the WMD’s in Iraq.”

You’re ignorant. There were many WMDs including uranium. The coalition took casualties from IEDs which included chemical weapon shells.

Good top hear from you. Nothing can be added to your excellent satire.

“I’m sure glad the CIA and NSA were all over this genuine threat, and nipped it in the bud with covert ops, disinformation campaigns, and so on, and thereby both warned us and allowed us to prepare for it.

Once again, the CIA and NSA came through with timely advanced warnings of imminent major attacks by thousands of Al Queda jihadis!

Thank goodness we weren’t caught flat-footed and unaware!

With intel that good, I’m sure there is no risk at all of another 9-11, or worse.”

Except someone should tell NBC that the Sunnis are a distinct minority in Iraq. So maybe the whites should return to ruling South Africa. They did for 3 centuries. It’s positively scary how much knowledge the Media does not have about anything.

Obama is causing Christians to be killed and persecuted everywhere since taking office. He has directly been responsible by his actions and orchestrations and policies for Christians to be murdered in Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Iran, nearly all the middle east, all of Africa, and persecution in the Untied States from his support of gay marriage, homosexuality, abortion and contraception forced upon all Christian and Catholic hospitals, universities, schools, charities, businesses through obamacare. He supports all muslim causes and attacks God's chosen people in Israel. He is supported by everything and everyone that is apposed to morality and Christian values. He is doing the devil's work and fiddling as the world burns and his final act will be to cause nuclear war. From Ukraine to Iran he is setting the stage for nuclear confrontation. China and Russia are flexing their muscle and Obama cuts back America to its weakest point since WWII. He is setting up the world for the final trumpet call.

This is as sickening as it was predictable. Mr. -telegraph every move to the terrorists- president. Leaving a new ally behind in the dust in order to get re-elected. This was completely unnecessary. He should be impeached today! Too much blood of good young Americans was lost winning this war, and he threw it all away for nothing!

“’Almost as good as the CIA’s intel about the WMD’s in Iraq.’

You’re ignorant. There were many WMDs including uranium. The coalition took casualties from IEDs which included chemical weapon shells.

http://www.nbcnews.com/id/25546334/ns/world_news-mideast_n_africa/t/secret-us-mission-hauls-uranium-iraq/#.U5m9TckpCd4

Okay, I took a look at your NBC story about the yellowcake uranium being found in Iraq. Yellowcake uranium is not a WMD. If you read the NBC article you saw that post-Saddam Iraq tried to get rid of it by putting it up for sale on the commercial market where the going price was $60 a pound. Hint, WMD’s are not sold on the commercial market for $60 a pound.

Now, I have a source for you about those non-existent WMD’s. A source, I think you will agree, who knows more about the WMD’s in Iraq than anyone else in the world, ex-president George Bush. He has said many times that one of the biggest regrests of his presidency was not finding WMD’s in Iraq. Here are three examples that took me about five minutes to locate:

“August 21, 2006 press conference
Now, look, I didn’t — part of the reason we went into Iraq was — the main reason we went into Iraq at the time was we thought he had weapons of mass destruction. It turns out he didn’t, .....

Decision Points, by George Bush
In discussing the absence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, Bush notes, “That was a massive blow to our credibility—my credibility—that would shake the confidence of the American people.” He then adds: “No one was more shocked or angry than I was when we didn’t find the weapons. I had a sickening feeling every time I thought about it. I still do.”

Interview The Times, November 10, 2010
Former US President George W Bush has said he regretted flying a “Mission Accomplished” banner on the USS Abraham Lincoln in 2003 and inaccurate information on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
64-year-old Bush told ‘The Times’ newspaper among his regrets were “flying a Mission Accomplished banner on the USS Abraham Lincoln in 2003, the premature reduction of US troop numbers in Iraq after the invasion and, above all, the inaccurate information on WMD.”
He said: “The reality was that I had sent American troops into combat based in large part on intelligence that proved false.”

So if I am ignorant about the existence of WMD’s in Iraq, then so is George Bush. We just don’t have the good sources of information that you have. Perhaps you should share your inside information with President Bush, to ease his burden.

If we close the embassy in Baghdad and fire all of the employees, our people and Iraqs. We could use the yearly expenses to fund better care for our wounded warrior Vets in America.
