So you agree with Obama pulling out of Iraq even as unstable as it was? Doesn't matter how we got there, what matters is what you do when it is your turn to make the decisions. Don't get me wrong I am all for staying out of the ME. We should have left Syria alone. Keep the dictators because otherwise it is a clusterf*k with no one keeping things within their own borders.
Are you a Trump supporter? Just curious, since Trump said we should pull out of Iraq immediately back in 2007. In fact, he wanted a quicker withdrawal and in March 2007 said "we should declare victory and leave."
There were many investigations (too many) and they all showed that nothing could have been done to prevent the deaths of those 4 Americans. Also, I don't remember President Obama calling that terrible incident a success, do you? Every time we're talking about Trump it seems that someone brings up Benghazi. (SMH)
Let's stick to the subject. Hillary didn't win the election as we've been told a thousand times.
President Obama signed his $787 billion recovery package into law on Monday with a statement that it would “set our economy on a firmer foundation.”
The president said he would not pretend “that today marks the end of our economic problems.”
“Nor does it constitute all of what we have to do to turn our economy around,” Mr. Obama said at the signing ceremony in the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. “But today does mark the beginning of the end, the beginning of what we need to do to create jobs for Americans scrambling in the way of playoffs.

The Dad was military, too. These families know the risk. However, the immediate RISK is having a stupid and unqualified Commander in Chief.
I read the article. I know the father was military.
But there are military people who don't encourage their kids to be in the military. They saw enough and know the risks.
And if they do choose the military as a career at some point get a position that is not putting their life on the line. The son was 37 and had a wife and three young children. At some point you have to rethink priorities, it's not the same if you're 28 and single.
Of course he is hurting, there is nothing worse than a parent outliving a child. And there your child whether they're 13 years old or 50 years old.
However the son chose to go into the military and went into what is a very respected but also highly dangerous team. The father who is a military man himself seems to not acknowledge the risk of what his son was involved in.
Not exactly the days of Vietnam where young men were sent to fight in a situation they had no choice in. I could see someone not wanting than President Nixon at the ceremony.
Nobody likes to hear about a police officer killed on the job, but let's be real it's less shocking than hearing about an accountant being shot dead.
These excuses doesn't make the situation better. Should have been better thought out.
One thing for sure you will NEVER SEE a rich persons child dying for the USA.The rich have 99% of the countries children dying for them.
