I think the context in which Obama was speaking was a 10 minute time span from the moment he said those words. In all seriousness, with what is going on all across the world, Barry's comment was a monumental gaffe. If Dan Quayle or Sarah Palin had said it, the MSM would be going ballistic in their indignation, and how uncaring and lacking in empathy it was to ever say.

SNL would likely have reoccurring skits on it.

This is easy. It is what we always do. We know the socialist countries will do nothing so we will assist in any way we can. Then we will be accused of creating the situation in the first place. Like always....

War and violence have broken out across N.Africa and the Middle East. Ukraine too. There's civil unrest in Europe and S. America. N.Korea is a giant concentration camp, and China is rattling sabres over in the far East.

Obama's point is almost laughable.

I can't believe this one. Obama approved air strikes, and the US military carried them out, like, same day. One of the fastest decisions in American history, and certainly the fastest of the Obama administration. Sorta a token response, only 2 planes, but it's still impressive, time-wise.

Good idea or not, still not sure on that.

The US military doesn't need 'months' to strike at 2 targets in Mosul. And if it does, then things have deteriorated in our military far worse than many had feared.


( Yes, Chrissy - FEARED. Because bad things are something to be avoided, but not ignored )

And they've taken 300 women as sex slaves. How then do they justify stoning 2 of them for adultery ? I know, trying to make sense of these animals is pointless.

Of course we created the situation. Maybe you've forgotten, or maybe you were high for the last dozen years, but we fucking invaded and occupied Iraq, and it went to hell just like millions said it would, you worthless fuckwit.

Iraq's RG was never " all that " to begin with, and since al-Maliki took control, he put in a lot of incompetent twits in high places in the military, which sent morale down the tubes. That's in large part why the forces folded like a house of cards vs ISIS, because the commanders were all cowardly political appointees, and not solid military men. Once they failed to show any leadership what so ever, and left the soldiers to fend for themselves, the Iraqi army fell like cut blades of grass.

It really was a perfect scenario ( coincidence ? ) that ISIS walked into with Iraq. No US military to deal with, a totally incompetent leader of a country already fractured, and then a military which could not operate once its command structure evaporated like an mirage on the hot desert plains.
