Mosul, Tikrit, etc.

I think the moral of the story here is that we're better off propping up evil dictators.

That seemed like a good strategy in hindsight.

Sadam didn't need much propping.  GW ousted him leading to this

[Kat Kid]

Look, Dax. We have photogenic Kurdish peshmerga posing for cameras. Did you know their name means "those who confront death"? Do you realize how well that plays in the press? Frankly, I can't imagine what else you expect us to do.

Peshmerga are confirmed studs/studettes.

Would make a great trivia team name

Did you see the "fathers" units? All the old men gearing up and heading to war. The world sees a eff up, but the Kurds see an opportunity.

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

Ousting evil dictators and boots on the ground are at least debatable. But when a pack of islamofundamentalist terrorists goes parading down the highway in broad daylight, we should vaporize them. Whenever, wherever. That's not even a tough call. What the eff is Our Dear Weakling waiting for? I thought we could at least count on him for drone strikes.

Sadam would have never let this happen

ODW is a new and awesome one

Okay. Excellent deflection.

What if they were Kurds?

Ousting Saddam was humanitarian, though.

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

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

could have droned him instead of destabilizing the entire region

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.

no they don't dumbass

You missed the joke, dumbass.

This is what crazy old man McCain was talking about in 2008 when he said we may need to keep troops stationed in Iraq for many years to come.

[sonofdaxjones]

Didn't the U.S. send troops back into Iraq to help secure the Syrian border because of all the death and destruction this administration and its proxies were causing in Syria?

If so, what happened to those guys/gals?

That Time John McCain Gave Bush Credit For Troops Leaving Iraq In 2010 http://crooksandliars.com/2014/06/time-john-mccain-gave-bush-credit-troops

I guess he changed his mind when he wanted to kiss Bush's ass. By the way, Iraq told us to leave and we did.

ISIS would probably be thrilled if we got involved.

[felix rex]

ISIS is good at social media, btw (they have their own rough ridin' app, for pete's sake).  They're also distributing these: http://dronesurvivalguide.org/

All the would be dead need guns, obvsly.  That is what we will do.

Per B.O., our boot are on the way!

On the bright side at least the gang from the last war has got back together and is all over cable news.  Even Paul Wolfowitz is back on TV.  Scarborough and Kristol put on their "very serious bipartisan foreign policy" faces and asked that if everyone agrees not to bring up any quotes from 2003 they won't say anything about Obama surrendering in 2011 assuming he listens to their idea to start a war against ISIS while keeping the option to fight Iran too if they get too meddlesome.  Lindsay graham, McCain, Cheney, the Kagan clan, they're all back!


I can't wait until Rumsfeld tries to get back out there with some strategic thinking.  All his friends out there with a shiny new war and poor Rummy is still the scapegoat.  No Sunday invites.

yea I hope he brings Rove to the party with him.  Maybe they can call it the ISIS of Evil
