After $760 billion borrowed from the American people and hundreds of thousands of lives lost, the sad conclusion of the American saga in Iraq is at hand: the ironic expansion of the Persian empire. As proven by the recent US embassy attack, the ease in which Iran mobilized a large scale movement in Iraq reveals one of two scenarios has occurred: a) The Iraqi army is sympathetic to the Iran’s Shiite militias; b) There is no Iraqi army – and all that blood and money have been lost for nothing.
While some will say this end has been inevitable since then PM Maliki brought the Iranian funded and backed Sadrists into his fold to solidify power, explaining why America backed an Iranian aligned state for so long – and at the expense of American relations with the Kurdish Regional Government- is hard to grasp.
After the KRG’s independence referendum, rather than supporting a proven ally in the region in their long-deserved quest for freedom, the United States opted to abandon the most successful ground force against ISIS to the disastrous fate of being overrun by Iranian backed forces and Shiite loyalists in Kirkuk – the same forces we now intend to fight on a massive scale.
There are no plans in the Middle East, just a series of misguided reactions that continue the cycle of perpetual war. If, as we’re being told, a war with Iran will save American lives, why have all recent actions assisted Iran?
Thank God for Trump who has the balls to stand up to Iran and thank God that Obama is no longer in office. We should ship the Democrats to Iran as they are accustomed to kissing their asses.
That my friends, is an excellent question, can U answer that please, u lefties?
For 3000 years, ‘THIS AREA of THE WORLD has been in CONFLICT. Many countries have TRIED to CONTAIN it over the years with NO SUCCESS,
The U.S. has been there with NO WINNING. What BENEFIT/ENDGAME do we HAVE BEING THERE????
Absolutely none, I would guess!
That’s true Vince. There is no way that these arabs will have peace with the rest of the world. The Bible says in Genesis that they are a wild people that cannot be tamed. It will go on till kingdom come. The USA should get out of there and let them handle it between themselves, but they need to keep it there between themselves. If they bring it out to other countries, then they are asking for war.
The Bible says that the area will near be settled, has not been wrong yet……………… and never will.
No one really wins any war. But you must be strong and fight when necessary. To should no weakness and not give any grounds. If there is going to be peace. It must be understood. Where the lines are drawn and the boundaries of peace are. Religion is a hard boundary.
The handling of the aftermath of the Iraqi war was like the aftermath of the Vietnam war-we won the war ,and we lost the peace, possibly through the treachery of the same persons or parties, or, their ideological followers.The malign influences over the decades may have been continuously prompted by the same entity or entities ,whose reach spans continents, and whose philosophical adherents have infected our country and government.
This person was a militant that caused loss of American lives in unprovoked conflicts. The President with the support of the powerful U.S. Military took the opportunity to put him out of commission, in a well planned tactical operation. The Congress should be applauding this spot-on action, not demonstrating the lack of National unity to the outer world!
Hey- I don’t know how to tell you this, but this mess was created by Obama. It was Obama that gave the Iranians $1.5 billion in cash on a pallet for the hostages, which was ridiculous, and for once even John Kerry told the truth when he said a lot of that money went to fund terrorism. The nuclear deal was a joke at best, a nightmare at worst, and there were violations that were found by the laughable inspectors. Blaming Trump is the saddest thing you can do, but what else can liberals do?
Yet another example of how religion poisons everything.
Vince has it correct. The Middle East is not countries it is a loose, very loose, confederation of tribes who have hated each other for thousands of years. It is like herding cats to keep them in line.
Muslims sayi8ng this sect is different from another are lying. Muslims sayi8ng they are atheist and EX Muslim are also lying. Muslims saying they are Somali, and Palestinian Arabs, not being Muslims, are lying. All Muslims meditate on, is how to lie more effectively, to fool people. God killed liars.
Muslims saying one sect, is different from another, are lying. Muslims saying they are atheist, and EX Muslim, are also lying.

Either We deal with Iran now or our Children and their Children will have too !! I’ve never seen an American President Bow Down too our Muslim Enemies Until Barrack Hussein Obama did.
We should pack up all Americans and bring them home. Let that area kill one another. No One of the people over there are worth the lives of our military people or civilians. They are evil and has fought had wars going on since biblical time. We need to get out. Plus we should vote all Dems as they have stupid and gone socialist with exception of Pelosi she wants to be a dictator. K
If the Democrats or Congress what to be noticed about everything then we don’t need a commander in chief.
The Damned Muslims have fought over rocks and sand for Thousands of Years and will continue the same for the next few Thousand Years ! It is a perpetual war ! Never Ever Trust a Muslim they are allowed to LIE, CHEAT, STEAL, and MURDER anyone they consider an Infidel because they are told to do it via their
rag-mag Quran ! There is NO SUCH THING AS A PEACEFUL MUSLIIM !
THERE IT IS !!!
What is the difference between a Lie-beral DEMONocrat and a terrorist?…the terrorist uses bombs but they have the same goals- the destruction of our country.
Unfortunately, to cheat and lie to an infidel is not only acceptable behavior it is considered admirable if it serves a goal. Therefore any deals, treaties or contracts with Islamic countries is quite frankly useless. This and past US administrations know this but continue to hope for the best. Lets leave the sand, dirt and
what ever oil in the region is left to people that live there. They can kill, rape and create mayhem with out
our help just fine.
