Absent some last minute reversal of fortune, it looks like a coalition of terrorist groups will grab Iraq which, combined with territory it already has in Syria, will constitute the long dreamed of Caliphate, stretching from the border with Iran to the Mediterranean. With the American built military hardware the terrorists will have seized along with Iraq, it would have a pretty good chance of putting an end to Bashir Assad.
Obama could have prevented this by forging a status of forces agreement with the Iraqi government. But so eager was he to pull out of Iraq that he didn't even try. Iraq was left alone to try to keep the republic that we had spent so much blood and treasure helping it to acquire. As a result, it looks like the helicopters are going to ascend from the rooftops of the American embassy in the Green Zone after all in a replay of Vietnam, 1975.
President Obama Presides Over Disaster in Iraq
Interesting insight as to this securing the creation of the caliphate...
Interesting for sure. Obama certainly isn’t showing any respect for the 4500+ lives America sacrificed to secure freedom for Iraq, that’s for sure.
He’s showing more respect and dedication for illegals in this country than he is IRAQ.
That means no Israel.
