Yes. And all GW Bush wars turned out to be such long term military and political successes.
At least carter didn't waste few thousand American lives for literally NOTHING.

Bingo. We ourselves created this mess. First we created al-Qaida by arming and training mujahideen to fight the Russians and later removed Saddam who was a big opponent of religious fanatism and a guarantor of stability in still tribal Iraq. Another war, anyone? Another place to stick our fingers into?
We will never learn, will we?

Guts + stupidity = terrorism

Carter is/was a brilliant man. Not many folks get a compliment like this. He is one of the
great peace keepers in my eyes.

Sadat praised Mr. Carter as "the man who performed the miracle."

"Without any exaggeration, what he did constitutes one of the greatest achievements of our time," - President Sadat, 1979

These people are nuts. Obama's detractors call him a king, emperor, savior, etc.. it's hilarious.
No....that is what Rush Limbaugh (your master) tells you and you lap it up like a dog.

President Obama is going to go about this intelligently and wisely. That last thing we need is another 13 year war like Bush started that only bankrupted the US and destabilized Iraq thereby giving extremists such as ISIS an opportunity. Do you think we would have ISIS if Saddam were still there?

We saw what the Bush doctrine accomplished. Now lets get ISIS like Obama got Bin Laden- surgical precision with zero collateral damage.

Ahhh, a logical approach to the problem, good to see someone is still functioning properly and rationally, refreshing indeed.

That is undoubtedly Bush's fault too. Just ask Obama's cheerleading squad, they'll tell you.

You are being redirected...

That guy was not at Gitmo. He was at some detention center in NY.

I watched the latest video a little while ago, made me sick to my stomach. What also sickened me was that it was hard to tell which were ISIL slime posting on Facebook news stories, & which are Americans. They both use horrid grammar & spelling, & both bash the president. We are sitting ducks, IMO, as the terrorists see us as weak as we are not united.
