Sigh. Fighting our own weapons, too.

“The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, declined to offer details.”

Ridiculous. We just spent a decade and billions of dollars to train an Iraqi army, and it ran away or defected.

That’s enough.

If they love Islam so much, then let them have it—pure, unadulterated, and industrial strength.

[Steely Tom]

Escalation, Obama Style.

It's 1967 all over again.

Except no Strawberry Alarm Clock this time. :(

Same thing happened in Vietnam. When we deserted them they failed and millions were killed.

Obama did NOTHING to help. That's the problem.

Hey, they were awesome. For one song, true, but they were awesome. Don't even start me on the deep philosophical musings within In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. I think half of Iron Butterfly is dead now...

Bagdad evac ala Saigon?

Wow you’re fast, I just saw this on Twitter and raced here to post it. :D

[kearnyirish2]

We already had one, but it was done at midnight to avoid the press coverage. Remember the midnight withdrawal of our troops? Saigon already happened; we lost.

[CondorFlight]

“Bagdad evac ala Saigon?”

I’m expecting that; only this time, there’s no carriers to fly off to. I’m afraid a last stand in the Green Zone, like the Alamo, is a possibility instead.

It upsets me.

Also, here’s this....

Yeah, and they introduced the concept of "a yardstick for lunatics." For that, they should get the Nobel prize.

Hey, I have heard that Obama has a pen and phone...He should do that, clearly, he doesn’t need congress to approve so hey, Mr. Resident, knock yourself out, “hike the number of troops in Iraq.”

But in the end we ALL know who you will take better care of — Illegals or our Military...You will side with the Illegals all day everyday over our brave men and women. Go ahead...use you pen and your phone, I double dawg dare you.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Grab some popcorn and enjoy watching the Democrat Party absolutely shred itself.

[Billthedrill]

Oh, dear. I just used the line, "It's good to see the Democrats are doing for us in Iraq what they did for us in Vietnam," in conversation. Faces turned red. Veins began to bulge.

I'm a bad person.

Anyone want to bet Hillary becomes a war hawk.....again?

[Celtic Conservative]

Once again snatching defeat from the jaws of victory- It’s Barack “who-is-insane” Obama.
