I've mentioned several times recently - we have 1,000's of Americans in Bagdad and even more in Iraq. They are thinking about the Benghazi Debacle and in Panic Mode.
Just Obama using history to repeat in Baghdad what we saw during Vietnam, with the Saigon withdraw.
It's typical of the right-wing extremists. Just look around this thread - they are doing everything from trying to complain that Obama isn't "going to arm the troops or let them fight back" to "anyone who supports Obama is a war-monger." And let's not even get started on Benghazi - funding cut by right-wingers, ignoring that G.W. Bush even existed, etc. Nope - in their nutty world, Iraqi was great right up until Obama took over, even though he simply continued the plan that was in place at the time. Of course, if Obama HAD left troops there forever, we'd be hearing right-wingers whining about that, complaining about the "war we can't afford" - even though we apparently COULD afford both wars when Bush got us into them...
With them, it is always the same story - no matter what Obama does, it's "bad," even if they can't explain why or come up with any intelligent discussion as to what they'd like to see done instead. If he sends troops, he's bad, if he doesn't send troops, he's bad, and so on. It's a joke - Obama Derangement Syndrome is a real thing, and one need only look around this forum to see its effects.
We are just naturally upset over Obama's incompetence with everything he touches.
Our federal government is rudderless, because it's leaderless. We have no president, what we have is a political hack, whose only priority is using his powers as president to punish his domestic political enemies, and rewarding his friends. His administrative agencies are running amok, and Obama is completely clueless as to what anyone is doing, and to tell the truth, unless they end up making him look bad, he really could care less.
This tragedy with our economy, jobs and what's going on in Iraq, and all over the world, is what we expected from him, but it does not mean we like it, just because we can say 'told ya so.'
It's hilarious when Bush apologists trot out quotes from people whose information was either provided by the Bush administration, or was 5 years old at the time and thus irrelevant.
It's as if they don't know what 'tu quoque' means. It means that "Kennedy was wrong too!" is not an argument.
It's a shame torture supporters don't have any blogs full of quotes that vindicate their torturer.
Actually, President Bush lost the peace in a secular Iraq by deciding to unseat Hussein and allowing a civil war to develop over the "My prophet is better than your prophet" BS.
Someone has no clue the Difference between Shia and Sunni Muslims, they have the same prophet, it's much more of an ethnic divide than a religious one (Think Greek Orthodox vs Russian Orthodox Christians)
You can't order strikes with out reliable intel on the ground, I suspect a few of those marines and special ops will have to go out on a few missions before the fun starts. Maybe now people over there can see it's not the great Satan who is at the root of all their trouble. When you carve out nations over oil fields this is what you get for the rest of history.

I've noted for months that we weren't done fighting in Iraq.
