300 Special Forces advisors heading to Iraq. Vietnam? (Limbaugh, Iran, middle east)

[Mack Knife]

Ok, we've spent billions in Iraq, spilled the blood of our soldiers and trashed our economy and now we're going to do exactly what with 300 advisors?

Create hostage targets?

This is nonsense. 300 advisors to train or advise those we've advised for years already?

Go team!

We're going to end up sending 3,000 to get the 300 out and then send 30,000 to get the 3000.

Watch.

Or..........If we instituted a "War Tax" to actually pay for these adventures, then you would see us not so ready to throw our money and kids into these political games.

We actually spent closer to 1.5 TRILLION during our 2nd Iraq war. It's very much different than Vietnam but people like that analogy for some reason. I'm against us being there at all but i was also against the first 2 wars there

I grew up in the '60's and this is eerily similar. Advisors my butt!

I grew up in the '60's, as well, but it seemed that back then people were not as apathetic.

Sadly, I fear we have come to a place where our country will never not be at war. It's disgusting that our self-serving politicians no longer represent any of us and we just keep voting the same idiots in.

It does seem similar to Vietnam.

[Garthur]

What this reminds me of is the Iranian hostage crisis. 444 taken hostage for one year. This time it will be the 300 plus the embassy employees.

This will give Obama enough press so that all the other scandals become unimportant.

Any smart person would know to get out of Iraq and evacuate the embassy. Or we send 50,000 back to retake the country.

He's despicable because he's a habitual liar.

He now blames the Iraqi prime minister for our troops leaving.

However, here's what he said at the time....."With regards to Iraq, you and I agreed, I believe, that there should be a status of forces agreement," Romney told Obama as the two convened on the Lynn University campus in Boca Raton, Fla., that October evening. "That’s not true," Obama interjected. “Oh, you didn't want a status of forces agreement?” Romney asked as an argument ensued. “No,” Obama said. “What I would not have done is left 10,000 troops in Iraq that would tie us down. That certainly would not help us in the Middle East.”

He is a man of very little (if any) character. He took full credit during the election for removing ALL troops from Iraq, now places blame on someone else. This is what we've come to expect from him.

Those who support him will still argue against all of the facts out there, which is a shame.

He has done an excellent job as President, the perfect counterweight to the ignorance, recklessness, and embarrassment of the President who preceded him.

What makes it even better is how adept he is at enraging wingnuts, which only affirms that this man is doing an excellent job. (Truth be told, it is FOX News, Limbaugh, and all the other screechers responsible for all this rage)

If wingnuts do not like him, you know he is doing a good job. Wingnuts liked George Walker Bush, who was arguably the worst President in U.S. history.
