al Qaeda is on the run.

It's savagery.

Wasn't Obama going to make all wars stop by dint of his glorious personality? Maybe after he made the sea levels stop rising so the earth could heal?

We can count on our prototypical behind-the-scene septuagenarian Senator to help guide Barry through this mess.

And people think peace will ever be possible in the Middle East. Not going to happen as long as Islam is a religion. These people believe that slaughtering all people who are not Islamic is what their "God" wants. Never going to be able to rationalize with them.

not able to watch the video, but read many news posts about it. The level of pure evil is astonishing.

Obama didn't vote to go into Iraq in the first place.

Bush 1 ( Cheney's book) knew that sectarian violence would be the inevitable outcome if Saddam was overthrown.

It was all about the oil and still is.

And, it's about too damn many people not understanding anything about other cultures and religions so they'll support foolishness. Read instead of listening to talking heads on the boob tube!

Let the Sunnis and Shiites kill each other and let us beef up our military and defenses and economy to deal with what's left.

We need to get the hell out of their way.

Besides, we had our Protestant versus Catholic battles in the 1500s until there wasn't much left to fight over. Let them do the same.

Your boy got us into this mess ( along with the Brits and their petitioning nonsense long before).

And, if you think Mitt could have fixed this and kept it from happening, you are nuts.

I'm sure that if we had just left 100,000 troops in Iraq for the next 25 to 30 years, everything would be grand over there.

Once we knocked over the Sunni dictator who was keeping the lid down with his tyranny, stuff like ISIS was bound to happen. The only people who are surprised are those who never understood anything to begin with.

I opposed going into Iraq but had the attitude once there, do it right. I did support the surge. Maliki created a good bit of this my mistreating the Kurds and shutting the opposition out of the government. Having the VP arrested. Really?

Would have been nice if Billy Clinton had been less focused on his Willy and taken out Bin Laden when he had the chance.

You can't let them take Baghdad, but no boots. Launch airstrikes on them in the desert approach before they begin to be an insurgency inside the city. Fortify the Turks in the North and protect their oil fields. All you can do.

One has to ask which countries have the petrol dollar reserves and the military logistics to move Large armies across Iraq-- another "construct" state created by the WWI "Allies"

Byway of deception, thou shalt make war.~author unknown

Barbarians in the truest sense of the word.

KF It wasn't done right.
It did, however, make a lot of money for some folks. Just not as much as many hoped.

No one likes us-I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens

We give them money-but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us-so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them

Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada's too cold
And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one
There'll be no one left to blame us

We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an All American amusement park there
They got surfin', too

Boom goes London and boom Paree
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono
And there'll be Italian shoes for me

They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now

Are those the lyrics of the late Pete Seeger's unreleased song, Samson's Option?

Randy Newman- Political Science

Newman/s best album ever reveals familial connections to Jackson riding in the back seat of a Hudson, drinkin' rye whiskey from a jar...doing like the gentiles do...wouldn't you do it if you were down there, too?

I have to admit,,, my favorite Randy Newman songs are,,,,,,, Sail Away and God's Song ,,, certainly equal to Political Science

Fiddle and banjos aren't Newman's style, but Uncle Dave Macon does a version of Sail Away Ladies... aka as the Don't Rock Me Daddy-O song.
