- WHEN YOU TRADE 5 SENIOR TALIBAN FOR A DESERTER...
- AND DRAW RED-LINES IN SYRIA THAT YOU IGNORE...
- AND YOU ALLOW AN AMBASSADOR TO GET SLAUGHTERED - WITHOUT EVEN SENDING A TOKEN FORCE TO SAVE HIM...
- WHEN YOU KICK-OUT A POS LIKE KADDAFY (WHO AT THE TIME WAS ASSISTING US IN OUR WAR AGAINST JIHADISM) WHEN WE HAD NO CREDIBLE RELIABLE LEADERSHIP TO TAKE HIS PLACE...
- WHEN YOU ALLOW PUTIN TO TAKE CRIMEA...
- WHEN YOU KICK OUT A STAUNCH ALLY LIKE MUBARAK FOR THE LIKES OF THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD.
I EXPECT THE NEXT SHOE TO DROP WILL BE WHEN IRAN ANNEXES BASRA AND EASTERN IRAQ - WITH MALIKI'S ASSENT.
EVERY DAMN F*CKING THING OBAMA HAS DONE ON THE FOREIGN POLICY FRONT HAS AIDED OUR ENEMIES AND HURT OUR ALLIES.
I FEEL THAT IT'S UNLIKELY SUCH CONSISTENTLY BAD OUTCOMES CAN BE THE RESULT OF MERE INCOMPETENCE.
I THINK IT IS TREACHERY.
AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL.
YES: OBAMA IS A TRAITOR TO THE USA, OUR ALLIES AND THE WEST.
IN A JUST WORLD, IN A NATION OF LAWS, HE WOULD BE DEALT WITH ACCORDINGLY.
This is another example of a problem that has become a crisis because of years of poor policy. As with Putin's invasion of the Ukraine, there is very little that can be done now to prevent a Sunni-Shia civil war, short of massive "kinetic action." The way to prevent it would have been to negotiate an SOF aqreement years ago, and to follow policies that would convince the world that the US and our allies are not to be trifled with. Too late now.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, the dissolution of Iraq and the establishment of a Kurdish State, would not necessarily be an entirely bad outcome.
