The same post you responded to with your "Obama lied, innocents died" crap.
You said you hoped airstrikes would stop a genocide.
What if it does not?
Well then something is going to need to be done. I'd prefer it to be a multinational coalition, including moderate Arab countries.
Which one is that, Jordan?
Qatar is funding terrorism. So is Saudi Arabia. Iran is eager to help. But they are Persians and they support Hamas. They also really want to control Iraq and, I would imagine, Syria.
What we need is an Alexander the Great instead of Barrack the Buffoon.
Then your reading has been profitable for you in unexpected ways. I am glad you found something of value to write about.It amuses me that you guys are absolutely incapable of making a post without insulting the President. Obama Derangement Syndrome claims another victim.
No turbo, in fact THE PREMISE OF THIS THREAD IS THAT CHRISTIANS AND OTHER MINORITIES ARE BEING MASSACRED.
Its not "nothing but muslims", perhaps some time reading might be elucidating for you.
should we go back in?
Army colonel: Don't go back to Iraq (Opinion) - CNN.com(CNN) -- As a former U.S. brigade commander of several thousand coalition forces during surge operations in Iraq, it is difficult to watch this country fall apart.
When I came home in 2007 after 15 months in Diyala province, I answered questions about what we accomplished there by explaining that we sowed stability and the seeds of self-governance in an Arab country that holds significant strategic interest for the U.S.
Now, as the U.S. commits to targeted airstrikes on top of the troops we sent last month to shore up the weakened country, I question everything. Were the losses my command suffered in the volatile Diyala province in 2006-07 worth it? How is it possible that the Iraqi military, well-trained to take over security duties, has performed so poorly?
Seven years ago, I would have agreed with the decision to return to Iraq. Today, I feel different.
We fought long and hard, spending over $25 billion to train and equip Iraqi security forces. We helped them develop a working government based on democratic principles. And while it might be wholly appropriate for the U.S. to provide humanitarian aid to those under siege, it's the responsibility of the Iraqis to protect Iraq. As someone who helped train these forces, I know they have the capability to stand and fight. The training wheels have to come off.
While it is frustrating and painful to watch militants take over a third of the country, we must focus on the here and now. The responsibility is to our soldiers who spent 13 years at war accomplishing what they were asked to do, often at a great cost.

It is easy to mock the imperial president. He is even more of a disaster for the nation than the hapless Jimmah Carter.
OK, it is 95% Muslims. How will we go about killing them all?
ISIS is in Iraq because a weak liberal allowed them to be. It happened on his watch, as a direct consequence of his policies.
Everyone but the left knows this.
And both were/are liberal statists. The biggest difference is that Obama is deeply tied to socialism, almost from birth. And of course it is hard to see past his embrace of Islamofascism.Obama is the most Nixonian President ever.
Let's hear what an Army colonel who fought there says....
Army colonel: Don't go back to Iraq (Opinion) - CNN.com
I think everyone but the most partisan Republicans knows that had we never went into Iraq, continued with the policy of containment with Saddam, that today there would be no ISIS, there would be no civil war in Syria, there would be no strengthened Iran that was on its way to a possible nuclear bomb, there would be no Al Qaeda in Iraq, we would not have lost thousands of men there nor spent over a trillion dollars, and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens would not have been killed.
Yes, Saddam was a bad man, but he was a contained bad man that was no longer a threat to us, our allies, or even for the most part his own people. The question was then, would going in and toppling him leave Iraq better than it was before. We know the answer to that now and many of us figured we knew what would happen then. The fact that some on the war mongering right still doesn't get it is no surprise to anyone.

How about before Nixon ?
Assuming your figures are accurate, how could that possibly translate into a population growth of nearly 1/3?
Off the top of my head-LBJ, FDR, Lincoln.
This kind of **** needs to stop. It is time for us to organize and arm a Christian army to put a stop to this crap everywhere.
I have an AR and a few hundred rounds of ammo, where do we meet up?
If we had not defeated Hitler the Jewish "problem" would have been solved too. We cannot yet go back in time. How do we move forward from here?Yeah, lets just have a global war between Christians and Muslim, arm all 2-1/2 billion of them and let them have at it. Would have been far easier, and not as messy to have stayed out of the ME and not ignited it to begin with.
These people are animals!!! Sadly they are like roaches and will never die off. I see why in the bible in certain wars God told them to smite everyone as to not give them a chance to further reproduce.

Come pick me up in your time machine so we can go back and help saddam. :doh
Saddam is history, this is today. Unless you have a time machine lets talk about what we can change.
