Reagan was a leader, something you don't understand
No he didn't. He trained the next generation. He stopped nothing.
Who appeased and armed terrorist. He sure was.
That is your opinion, the difference it enemy of our enemies is our friend. You don't understand the concept.
No, that's a fact. He did appease and he did arm. It's not an opinion.
How exactly does that impact what is going on in Iraq today? What exactly did Obama do to secure the relative peace that was in the region when Bush left office?
Didn't say it did. But you call an appeaser who gave weapons to terrorist a leader. I just want you to understand your standards here.

No, he really didn't.
The difference with Bergdahl, as Obama argues, is that he wasn’t really a hostage grabbed by terrorists. He pretty neatly fit the classic definition of a prisoner of war. He had just left a military outpost in an obvious war zone while (presumably) wearing his uniform. History is loaded with examples of nations—including America—making deals to free their soldiers.
And however nasty the Taliban may be, it’s not really a “terrorist” enemy as we commonly understand the word.
Bowe Bergdahl: Obama Didn’t Negotiate With Taliban Terrorists - TIME
about darned time we use our air power. Russian pilots were seen,as well as Iranian. a month or so ago. This goes beyond any "Iraqi gov't".
Glad Maliki is finally out..wonder what next set of dysfunctional characters takes over now?
yes it's not good, nor is Syria -which if possible is more of a wreck.Sigh, we'll find out soon enough. Meanwhile, I feel sorry for the ordinary people in Iraq who are at the whims of...whomever. Many years ago now I had a conversation with a Lebanese Christian who talked as if this were a commonplace (of course, it was to her) of driving to her university classes and facing shots and IEDs. We didn't have this acronym, but this is what she described. Most of us, and thank heavens, have no idea of what it's like to live this way.

This is who you want to negotiate with? Tell me these people are U.S. plants and have damaged Islam and the Islamic state? You really are very naive and have no business dealing with the world problems. You judge everyone by your own standards and that is dangerous.

Militant Islamic groups have been active since 700 AD, long before America came along, and we see this in that although they were a bit late arriving after the other major religions, they control almost all the Middle East.In fact, the current crisis that has the ME in flames is the direct result of decades of US support of militant Islamic groups, sometimes covertly, sometimes overtly, sometimes both.
Obama didn't really negotiate but he made a deal to have a prisoner released for five terrorists who weren't really terrorists and besides countries do it all the time anyway. I can see you've given this a lot of thought.
You really have your mind made up, don't you??

This has nothing to do with you calling the appeaser who gave weapons to terrorist a leader. if you wanted to know this all you'd have to is read above. I suggest you're dodging here.
And I'm going to assume you're full of beans.
It really doesn't matter what you click on.
There is a facade of democracy. It's a Shiite government, try again.
No, it wouldn't. Do you think we've Conquered terrorism?
Anyway, the majority of Americans consider it to have been a mistake,
and once the last troops are gone from there, it will go the way of Iraq as well.
You deny that he told everybody why he attacked us on 9/11, silly.
