sometimes I get a little confused as to whether people want us to be the worlds policemen or don't. Bush created Daesh, Obama created Daesh, Iraq created Daesh. We should stay in Iraq forever, like N. Korea or Germany. We should get the hell out. We spend to much money maintaining bases around the world. Our Military spending needs to be higher because Obama has decimated it.
very confusing.
I find it interesting that some of the same people that want to blame the rise of ISIS on Obama won't hold Trump accountable at all for this hot mess.
Oh please - so there's no difference between actions vs words?
Obama ordered the downsizing of our military presence that caused the vacuum in which ISIS filled. He has since not allowed the military to pursue them as aggressively at they could be, enhancing their chances for their survival and growth. His narcissistic need to be the smartest guy in the room misjudged their capabilities by a wide margin, leading to actions that helped them grow. Finally, he's fractured our traditional relationships in the region, causing distrust, and made promises he didn't keep (Syria) leaving allies questioning where the US stood.
And somehow that's the equivalent of Trump just saying that a wall should be built and that we should actually control our immigration so that criminals and those who will not add in a positive way to our society should be kept out?
Yeah, those are on the same playing field
I'm rather happy - minus the violence of course - to see these idiot protesters act in a manner fulfilling the worst stereotypes about Mexican illegal immigrants. The Dem's want them for their votes - damn their economic impact on the lower classes or their disruption to society. Trump wants immigration managed as it should be, to have proper legal controls over who and what type of people come in - just like most every country in the world. Which makes more sense?
Oh please - the downsizing of American troops in Iraq was agreed to by George Bush before he left office. If you don't get that one simple thing right, the rest of you rant is pointless.
Depends on the day. When it's time to take credit for "ending" the Iraq War, Barack is glad to
step up and take the credit. When negative ramifications of the pullout are being discussed it's
all on Bush.
SSDD

Negative ramifications? The only thing I did was correct Fuji's claim that Obama was responsible for the troops being pulled out of Iraq. That is a fact. What is funny is that Fuji claimed that Obama's removal of the troops lead to the situation that exists now. When it was pointed out that Bush signed the RIF agreement, that suddenly wasn't an issue in today's problems.
The only one who played the blame game was Fujirich. The only one who shifted the blame when corrected was Fujirich.
SSDD.
