Iraq attacks kill more than 30

Good job on your exit strategy Barry. Afghanistan will be worse after the Taliban take over. But, then again, you could bring them all over here and give them welfare and food stamps, but they’d have to learn English, oh wait, I mean Spanish.

Sunnis and Shiites crossing into Syria to fight on opposing sides of the civil war. As if these Iraqis do not have enough fighting in their own country, they go to Syria to continue and further enlarge the Syrian civil war. Talk of fanaticism and sectarian hate….. No winners here, whether Assad’s dictatorship or the “rebels” who may very well turn Syria into another dogmatic Islamic backward country. One thing is for sure,,,no matter who wins, they will all continue chanting “Death to America” while they blow each other up….

The USA “accomplished” its “mission,” and the Middle East has peace and freedom. There is nothing more peaceful than a corpse, and the only truly free are the dead. Unfortunately, Iraq sells increasing amounts of oil contracts to China, France, and countries that were not part of the Coalition of the Witless. They increase other business arrangements with those who did not bomb and invade them. People are funny that way.

Lowell: That’s real smart: blame Obama, the guy who opposed the war and got us out of it. What your hate is blinding you to is that once we did what we did in Iraq, there was no such thing as a good exit strategy. We could have stayed another 5 years, sacrificed another 4,000 US soldiers and spent another couple of trillion dollars, but Iraq would still be in the same place. The killing would continue. It’s why we should never have invaded in the first place. Blaming Obama just makes you look clueless in your comments, like a 10 year old mad at the world. There are a lot of people who share in the blame, but Obama isn’t one of them.

This demonstrates the absurdity of wanting to investigate Obama over Benghazi, just because the first report he was give by the CIA was inaccurate, but not investigate Bush, who knowingly lied to the American people to dupe us into supporting a really stupid and costly invasion and occupation of Iraq. And what did it accomplish? It made an even greater threat to the US, Iran, even stronger. And the cost to our soldiers, the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians, our credibility and our treasury is incalculable. People have been executed for far less.

Flashrooster both parties are made up of morons. Whenever you pick you just pick between two morons who pitch you two different ways to accomplish the same cluster f***

Assur: What in my post is incorrect?

I didn’t state that there are no morons in the Democratic party. But that doesn’t mean facts aren’t important. Both parties are on the take. That’s the #1 problem facing this country because if affects everything else. But the damage the Democrats do is minimal compared to the Republicans. $3 trillion dollars squandered just to go and kill hundreds of thousands of people in another country. 4,500 US soldiers gave their lives, tens of thousands more severely injured. You can tell yourself whatever you want about Obama, but nothing he’s done comes remotely close to the damage Bush did. And that’s not even going into the policies that led us into the biggest economic collapse since the Great Depression.

Consider the Supreme Court. When they ruled on the Citizens United case only the Justices appointed by Republican Presidents sided with Citizens United, making the absurd argument that corporations are people and money = free speech. Only people are people, and free speech is free. Money is not, and very few of us have enough money to buy the legislation we want to make us richer. All of the Justices appointed by Democrats ruled against Citizens United. And they were right. Allowing unrestricted amounts of money and with no disclosure is one of the worst things that can happen to any form of democracy. The conservatives on the SC stabbed the American people in the back. They just gave away our Republic. Now we have to figure out how to take it back, no thanks to the Republicans. The Democrats are at fault for not doing anything to get special interest money out of our government, but the Republicans are the ones ramming it through. And until there are a majority of liberal Justices on the SC there’s little we can do to restrict campaign contributions because the conservatives on the SC will rule it unconstitutional. They couldn’t be more wrong.

We have to deal with the facts and not just conveniently gloss over everything by saying they’re all bad. I’m afraid we’ll have to deal with individual issues until the American people organize and force our government, Republican and Democrats, to start representing us again. In the meantime, we have to at least slow down the continuing takeover of the plutocrats who are sucking the Middle Class dry while stashing their money overseas. And no more illogical, foreign wars, please.

What’s the point of doing these things? It’s not like it will change anything, won’t make anything for the better… just destroyed other people’s lives.

So tell us again, why were American lives and billions of dollars dedicated to sticking our noses into the affairs of a country that will never change nor appreciate those sacrifices? Who wins? Answer: the military/industrial complex.
