US and Coalition strikes Syria

[El Kabong]

What progress did you make exactly? The region is more stable and secure now than it was in 2002?

All this stuff about taking the gloves off and fighting a proper war and "wiping our enemies out" is just teenage boy wargame fantasies. It's just silly. Even the drooliest of the idiots on Fox News doesn't come out with such nonsense.

And just because having a black AG upset all the racist knuckledraggers in America doesn't mean that he's a criminal or that he's going to prison. Sorry to disappint you.

Before we (Barack Obama) withdrew troops there was no ISIS and now there IS ISIS and they are unsettling the region. No the region is LESS stable now and only a fuckwit like you would say it's more stable.

Silly? No silly is thinking a 100% air strike quasi-war will fix things.

Eric Holder isn't a criminal because he's black he's a criminal because he BROKE LAWS you fucking moron and that's why he's been held in Contempt of Congress....it's not because he's black you simp. I guess in your mind Alberto Gonzales was only attacked so much because he was Hispanic. So yeah take your faux outrage and go fuck yourself you dumb fucking cunt.

I really liked this post, Lyle and clicked like, but then I came to the final seven words and it summed up what is going wrong on the forum and reversed my like. It was an excellent post, Lyle. You can make your point just as well without that brutal Mortal Kombat finish. Next time!

Ah, the proxy approach reminiscent of the US in the Middle East. You cunning fox, you.

Well miles that's fine and I understand your dislike of that attitude BUT Kirkland was in the wrong on these issues, vocally backed Obama at every chance, and like it or not Obama has been wrong nearly 100% of the time on the issues that he campaigned on. Given Kirkland's dismissive attitude towards anyone disagreeing with him I figured he had best have a dose of cold hard reality....especially for playing the race card, that is so played out and such a typical chicken shit liberal thing to do so yes ON PURPOSE I used what you've referred to as the "Mortal Kombat finish" to hammer the point home because Kirkland earned it.....or maybe it just came from my pent up feelings of "white privilege"

So your point is noted, but alas I am not sorry in the least.

Barack Obama didn't have any control over withdrawing the troops. The troops were withdrawn on a timetable agreed and signed up to by George Bush. This has been explained to you several times before. I've placed this information on the tiny little shelf in your head that functions as your brain. But subsequent information placed on the shelf has pushed this information off the back of the shelf, several times, never to be seen again. I actually placed this information on your little shelf a couple of days ago and it's already gone off the back. I suggest you rest your shelf operating system. Create a little shelf space by removing some of the excess sports, porn and video game information which takes up most of your shelf space. Then perhaps facts and information will have a little more, you know, shelf life in your little head.

Before Obama there was Al Quaeda in Iraq which is what ISIS used to call themselves before a few name and leader changes. And before Bush invaded Iraq this group was a nonentity. After Bush invaded Iraq it became a magnet for jihadis who wanted to kill a member of the Great Satan Oil Protection Force. So rather than American troops in Iraq preventing jihadis causing trouble there, American troops in Iraq causes jihadis to flock there in massive numbers! QED.

Back when people were talking about the Arab Sprng overthrowing dictators and producing freedom you were claiming that the revolutions in the Middle East were all down to George Bush. Now that they turned out not to be so freedomy they're all Obama's fault!

An air war won't do anything to solve the problem and Obama knows that. A boots on the ground war will make things worse. Look how well invading Iraq worked out a decade ago, although I might as well be asking you and your tiny little shelf to remember the Mesolithic period. Obama doesn't want to be Bush mark two so he isn't going to invade.

And I'll leave the faux outrage to you.
