“I find it hard to believe that Al Qaeda had encampments all over that region and Asia and Africa, but somehow not a one in Iraq.”

Why? Saddam’s brand of laissez-faire Islam is anathema to Al Qaeda. The money to fund the radicals, and fifteen of the hijackers, were from our dear allies, the SAUDIS. Iraq had no Al Qaeda camps for the same reason we had no Nazi Party in 1944.

We (by “we” I mean the Useful Idiot Democrats and Liberals), stuck with Obama, and lost Iraq.

Saddam was a SOB. He shouldn't had invaded Kuwait. That said, we shouldn't had taken him out.

It is what it is. So time to divide Iraq into three countries. But only after radical Jihadists are crushed.

“Saddam was a SOB. He shouldn’t had invaded Kuwait. That said, we shouldn’t had taken him out.”

He was the same SOB we armed to the teeth. The fact that we crushed him to restore a Muslim fundamentalist monarchy to their throne is absurd. I know people who went their for that; they were told to conceal any crosses they wore around their necks (for fear of offending the Muslim hosts they were prepared to die for).

“It is what it is. So time to divide Iraq into three countries. But only after radical Jihadists are crushed.”

We’ve lost there and Afghanistan already; we can’t beat them while pretending Islam is a religion of peace. We can’t beat them in our own country.

“He shouldn’t had invaded Kuwait.”

Putin shouldn;t have annexed the Crimea, but he did. Because he isn’t a weakling, we won;t do anything at all about it. Anyone who mocks Neville Chamberlain for the appeasement of Hitler need only look at this to get an understanding of how it works. Remember when Obama told Putin he’d have more flexibility after the election? What was that about? Ukraine?

I guess you will just have to live in your world of belief and me and the rest of the world in mine.

No problem; keep your family safe in your world.
