A feckless US policy that bounces from administration to administration. Republican candidates are busy outdoing themselves over "should we have invaded Iraq under Bush".

Lost in all of that are the families and friends of the 80 killed and 200 wounded in the Battle for Ramadi.

It is a bitter pill we ask them now to swallow. I have a very close friend who was in this who thinks this nation should not be trusted with the lives of warriors in any kind of extended combat. It is no longer an integritous keeper of their blood.

Good for him. This is the attitude Americans should have had for 200+ years. No U.S. troops in Third World sh!t-holes while the privileged children of our ruling class stays home to attend Ivy League schools.

bomb cars were driven by Muslims from West Europe, who had traveled through Syria to join up with ISIS in Iraq. The jihadists named one of them as “Abu Musa al-Britani.” Just Thursday, May 14, the British police revealed that more than 700 potential terror suspects had traveled to Syria from the U.K. to fight or support extremists, and about half are believed to have returned, primed for terrorist operations on home ground.

Obama’s outdone Carter. He’s lost Yemen, Afghanistan, Libya and Iraq, not to mention large parts of Africa.
