Mosul, Tikrit, etc.

Agreed, we should have anticipated a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) neophyte would take office after W and just let Saddam continue murdering his own people.

Telegraphing exactly when we'd leave Iraq was also brilliant.  You've had an election?  Great, govt installed, piece out. Like picking someone up at Betty Ford and dropping them off in at a crack house.

Maybe more like putting them up in a neighborhood full of crack houses and letting them know that we wouldn't be checking up on them at all.

Can you guys imagine the backlash if those trucks were GM?  Oh man!  Government Motors!

let's call an end to the war on terror. we lost, bfd, we've lost before. i'm good with letting this run it's course until it gets to a point where congress is ready to declare war, not some shitty and vague "authorization of military force."

[Dugout DickStone]

Toppling Saddam was certainly a mistake in hindsight, but to be to fair to GWB, he never anticipated what a complete hapless weakling would take his place as CiC. Obama is strongly considering deploying a twitter hashtag and dower expression.

Seriously, probably gas up the cars today...

ya think?

he tried to kill bush sr.  We had to get him.

could have droned him instead of destabilizing the entire region

no more droning without a declaration of war. this is getting ridiculous.

I thought that was against policy?  Like, assassinations.

Oh I agree, I just think it was a mission constraint.  Probably wouldn't have stopped this administration, though.

FWIW, if they were GMs and a similar year as those toyotas pictured, we'd be able to shut them down via onStar.

To this day the Britons regret embarking on a boots on the ground military campaign attempting to quash the Colonials' revolution, when all they had to do was drone GW.

I acquired that knowledge by watching a GM commercial at some point during the past, I don't know, 10 years?

Yeah, I think Britain's pretty much OK with being out of the colonial game.

Kinda

[mocat]

didn't they just let go of Hong Kong, like, ten years ago or something?

And they didn't even lose a war!

Pretty sure that's the highway from Syria to iraq. The ME is a rough ridin' disaster and Obama ' s incoherent foreign policy is a big reason why. :smh:

PRETTY SURE!

[sonofdaxjones]

I have to admit, Felix is the master of deflection and redirection.  Very Obama Administrationesque

I guess if they're going to fail at Balkanizaing Syria, they're going to give it the ol' college try in Iraq.

For the rest of the thread, we need to come up with the peggy's and nancy's of an Iraq that is going to be broken up into relatively well defined geographic piece parts that's an extension of the defined religious divisions.   I'm talking about things like guarded inter-regional crossings and defense lines etc. etc. of a defined nature. 

Who can we do business with?   Well, for starters I think the Kurds are solidifying their position.  So that's probably a decent start.
