He should have kept troops there a few years ago to hold what we won.
It's not like a Liberal is going to know how to engage in a battle or win a war. There's a reason there are almost no Liberals at Westpoint. It's just not something that they are capable of doing. They are good at community organizing and filling food boxes though. He should join Habitat for Humanity

Obama authorizes up to 1,500 more troops in Iraq

This is exactly how it starts.


Like I said several months ago... Obama needs a war!
" Obama is sending another 1500 troops to train and assist."

What ? It can't be true! How many on here have exalted Obama as "ending the war in Iraq"

If the war is over, why do we need MORE troops, no matter what their duties are?

Study: Bush, aides made 935 false statements in run-up to war - CNN.com

When Bush killed 100,000+ innocent Iraqi people, killed 1,000's of US soldiers for nothing, wasted $900 billion dollars in Iraq, and then turned Iraq into a country ruled by ISIS terrorists, did republicans complain? (No.)

If its OK for Bush's White House to say 935 lies about Iraq, why are you attacking Obama so hard for 1 lie about Iraq?


And besides people must sometimes change their minds when things change. (Today) a terrorist organization called ISIS is threatening to control 100% of Iraq, including its infrastructure, oil, and money.

Should Obama keep his promise to get out of Iraq, and let ISIS fully take control of Iraq?

Or should Obama put more troops on the ground, and break the promise he made when ISIS was not a threat?
Please not NOBODY has responded to your asinine post!

Someone would have to be really hard up for some money to join the military these days.

To spin something you must talk about it. MSNBC will not talk about this, they will "bury" it.

Republicans are the ones spinning this. They are attacking Obama for a problem GW Bush 100% created. Actually its a damn good spin, blame Obama for Bush's Iraq, and then get everyone to forget republicans created this whole entire problem.

Doesn't really matter what the Iragis wanted. Look at them now being butchered.
In Germany, Japan and South Korea we aren't policing a Civil War. And yes it matters if the Iraqi's want us there, it is not our country, its their country.

He got good advice at the time from some under him not to just pull out in the manner that he choose.
The Iraqis did not want us there. How much longer should we have stayed there policing a Civil War??

And besides my post asked questions that are important to America. And when republicans are asked questions important to America what do they do?

Answer: They totally avoid the questions. Then to spin the subject they say something like "that's an asinine post."
