Hillary has done plenty of harm. Take Benghazi for instance. While the embellishment of her stop in Bosnia was not itself harmful, it did not give us confidence of her abilities as Secretary of State. Benghazi was completely mucked up and she was in charge of the state dept. The thought of someone in Hillary's mental state becoming president is even more scary.
Move the posts. We were talking Hillary's story of exploits in a war zone.
Agreed. However I would add Israel to that list of staunch allies. That is if Obama does not completely poison our relations with them.
I would say that under the current circumstances with Netanyahu running on a decidedly ant-American, anti-Iran platform the response to a request from the US would be met with a great deal of laughter.
And due to her mental exploits her position of sec of state and potential run for president are fair game.
Anti-Iran yes...and quite understandably. Anti-American....not at all. Anti-Obama....certainly and quite understandable.
If you remember Clinton got the U.N. to take care of Saddam's WMD's without invading Iraq. The U.N. inspectors did a good job at it too. There were no WMD's for Bush to find.
And I would say the next 18 months left in Obama's presidency can be devastating if he continues on the crooked path he has chosen. I am fed up to my eyeballs with his unwillingness to call these people Islamic terrorists. I am appalled at what lengths he will go to make a deal with Iran giving away the store in the process. I am fed up with our people having to flee embassies due to jihadist takeovers in certain parts of the world because of his fecklessness. And if that young female bimbo from the State Department gives one more press conference, I might kick my television.
What a moron! Her name is Jen Paski.
I have never in my life seen anyone dance around a direct question as she has. What a flake. Which leads me to believe that just about everyone envolved in foreign affairs within this administration are flakes and that is why we are at greater risk than ever before.
The difference is that if you ask me to point out a specific lie told by Obama, I will do so and give specifics. As will everyone else you are ranting at. You are the one who after hollering "Bush lied" has failed to back it up.
Right, because calling out religious war is very presidential.

WASHINGTON, May 6 (UPI) -- U.S. officials are being advised in internal government documents to avoid referring publicly to al-Qaida and other terrorist groups as Islamic or Muslim, and not to use terms like jihad or mujahedin, which "unintentionally legitimize" terrorism.

935 of em. Read em and weep.
The difference appears to be that when Republican Presidents lie they are forced to resign but when Democrat Presidents lie their party and the Gruberites defend them,You seem to think I'm pointing to Nixon lies and ignoring Bill Clintons. Nice distraction, but I'm pointing at the difference between presidential lies and lies by unelected citizens that embellish their own exploits for glory but harm nobody. Those struggling to comprehend the difference have troubles.

According to the article, the deterioration of Anbar's situation started in 2004 when the Bush administration failed to support them and kept their focus on other areas and enabled the current govt.
That's more than 10 yrs....Bush let them down back then and maybe he's trying to surface their issues with the Obama administration. Just like the overall Iraq situation, it just got worse and worse over time....seems like we should support them but it aint Obama's fault they got ****ed over in the first place (pretty much my opinion on Iraq overall....Bush is the one that ****ed them over and we really dont have a solution. So we tried to just leave...and this is part of the mess we left behind.)
The "Anbar Awakening" accompanied by a US military surge in 2006-2007 decisively improved the situation, and in 2009 GWB handed over to BHO a victory in Iraq. BHO then threw it away.
I checked my liberal playbook. What you are going to see next is someone will state that President Obama had to remove our troops from Iraq and leave them to flounder because President Bush had signed a Status of Forces Agreement with Iraq. President Obama was powerless to do anything or say anything other than take credit for the withdrawal of troops.
Yes, I know. It becomes tiresome. They always leave out the part where GWB put the withdrawal two years into BHO's term so BHO would have ample time to negotiate his own treaty, as all DoD planners expected.
What about that "reset button' with Putin (which didn't even translate properly) ? Or Obama saying, when he thought the mic was off, that he could be more 'flexible' with Russia after the election? We can only hope that all of this is due to incompetence and naivety and nothing more.Hillary has done plenty of harm. Take Benghazi for instance. While the embellishment of her stop in Bosnia was not itself harmful, it did not give us confidence of her abilities as Secretary of State.

So it's now US policy to not state the bleeding obvious and you support that notion? The public must be aware of this BS and no amount of twisting the truth, no matter how determined their 'avoidance', can change the facts.
As I said, he was powerless to do or say anything other than take credit. Tiresome is right.
What bothers me is that we are afraid to let the Kurds establish their own nation. I have been a fan of that since 2005. Let the Kurds be Kurds, maybe even let the Sunnis be Sunnis and the Shiites be Shiites. Radical I know. The Kurds should have been spilt off from the rest of Iraq years ago. We would be able to give them the weapons and training they need to protect themselves from ISIS. Let the follies of Baghdad play out without them.
