I don't think bombing Syria's capacity to launch chemical weapon attacks would constitute getting into Syria. Either way, Obama's threat of action led to the reduction of Syria's chemical weapons. So we have that going for us, which is nice.

Chemical weapons go out one door and back in the back door.

They are on the run TOWARDS Bagdad. Militants are taking over all the territory surrendered by Un-President Barry.

It's weird how everything is Obama's fault and never the responsibility of those who are actually responsible. I'm sensing a pattern.

One of the lessons of 9/11 should be to not let a concerted media effort redirect justified anger over a terrorist attack into a fervent public desire to attack a nation that had b.gger-all to do with the attack in the first place.

I wish just once, the Obama haters who blame him for everything in the world that's wrong, would commit to a course of action and state it clearly.
Tell us now, what you would do in this current situation in Iraq before Obama makes a definitive move there.

Would you leave it alone and keep America out of it?

Would you immediately send troops and drop the 101st Airborne north of Baghdad to stop the ISIS?

Tell us for once what you consider the correct course of action and involvement at this stage of the situation before the President makes a move. Instead of only saying what the correct course of action is after the president makes his move and of course, the wrong move in your judgement.

So which is it? Stay out? Commit American might? For once just drop the other shoe and take a stand.

But all we'll hear from you is crickets because if you state what you think the president should do before he commits, he has a 50/50 chance of being right and in your partisan world, you can't take that chance.

Bunch of two faced idiots.

I have. (I haven't blamed Obama for everything though, just what he is responsible for)

He does need to stay out but the sad part is we by and large created the problem. That wasn't Obama's fault but he needs to learn from it. Bring the soldiers home. All of them, everywhere. Apologize for Libya.

To be honest, you've been fair in your assessment of the good and bad decisions the president has made.
I'm talking to the people who start a thread proclaiming the president screwed up again over the latest world disaster(of which there are many). Gretsky, Wetjet, et al... They only say that what he has done is wrong but they won't say what they would do. Based on this thread I assume they would like us to drop a couple hundred thousand troops into Iraq and save the country from the evils of radical Islam. Fat chance, that.

I too think we should stay out of this cluster and if the president said he was going to send troops there, I'd be the first to condemn him for it.. You don't hear any European allies demanding action or offering to rush in and save the Maliki government.

I'm with you. I asked, on the first page, responding to the OP, what he/she would do, or what others would do, NOW.

The OP has not replied, but I do recognize that he/she usually posts new threads early in the morning and then leaves for work. Yet, others herein are clearly at their computer, with no one saying "Here Be What I Would Do!".
