You don't have conservative friends on facebook. If you did, you would not lie about them like this.

If we were to nuke the middle east, there is only a very tiny sliver that we'd need to bomb to make the entire middle east think we were their heroes...I****L

Plus we'd get out from under the thumb of the Central Banks.

Talk about deflection.

Any "boots on the ground" is boots on the ground my friend.

He went and invaded Iraq all over again and without the permission of Congress.
1. 350 people is not an invasion

2. He doesnt need congresses permission to send them there, only to keep them there, and if anyone every challenges the War Powers Act in court, he wont need that either.

I also see the same thing on MSNBC, but the liberals are resisting the war drums much easier than the right-wingers. The oligarchy DOES NOT want us to leave the Middle East, and they are trying their darnest to get the Republicans and undecided voters on board, to scare them into thinking Obama is such a weak president, when he is making ALL the right choices by dithering and philandering around. But, this would never have happened if Qaddafi was never killed. ISIS, aka the Islamic Emirate of Iraq and the Levant back in 2010, all came from Benghazi originally, and have been recruiting ever since across the Middle East. Where are you, dear Libertarians? Did you finally drop the façade of being anti-war, and now jumping on the ISIS bandwagon like Rand, that corrupt nepotist, did?
didn't you say you used to vote republican?

Still waiting to see any proof that 'right-wing mainstream media' has been calling to nuke ISIS. Thus far, nothing.

Now?

Who has been protecting the embassy and other US interests ( whatever that means) in Baghdad, all along?

Humanitarian aid is being sent and bombers made sure there was no interference.

Additional troops were deployed to assess and advise ( whatever that means)

300 more troops were sent this week to bolster the forces protecting the embassy in Baghdad.

Given the US continues to operate an embassy there ( for God knows what reason) makes sense to take every precaution to reduce the likelihood of Benghazi 2.

Strange, strange bedfellows.

I half expect Rand Paul to come out and give Biden a high 5 for the "follow to the gates hell " remark.

Getting rid of most of Congress means replacing them with more of the same.

A true Libertarian president without a true Libertarian majority in Congress would be DOA.
Had Ron Paul managed to somehow managed to get elected, the resistance would have made the current situation look like child's play.

I don't call protecting the embassy invasion.
I don't call making certain humanitarian aid gets to it's target an invasion.

Seems the most vocal Conservative heads are more focused on blasting Obama for not doing more in Iraq and wasting time attempting to get the pulse of allies/ NATO.
