We are now 2 weeks into the ISIS overtake of Iraq and what has Obama done to slow down the ISIS blitzkrieg so far? Nada, zip, bupkis, zilch. He has been shown the dithering ineffectual ideologically driven tool everyone else but his loyal subjects thought he was. Anyone with half a brain saw what is happening in Iraq coming. Remember "Operation Zero Footprint"? Well, Obama armed ISIS to overthrow Assad. He'll say he armed the Free Syrian forces but they were quickly overpowered by the Al-Queda factions and took control of those weapons. Iran and the Russians backed Assad and his forces beat back Al-Queda, ISIS included and The Free Syria moderate forces. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLL guess where the next weakist army was? Yep Iraq. This has nothing to do with sectarian fighting. This has to do with a terrorist organization wanting a huge chunk of land in which to form an Islamic jihadist nation. Unfortunately Obama doesn't see it this way. He thinks because Maliki's government excluded the Sunni groups in his government the Sunnis in Iraq stood up agaisnt Maliki. This is proven by Obama's own statements of "there is no military solution" and "Maliki needs to form an inclusive government".
His first act was to beef up the Ebmassy. Oh you bet he did considering we spent $1 billion building the damned thing. His second act was to order Horse face Kerry who happened to serve in Vietnam to Iraq . This is funny considering he told a graduation class that if you don't do well in school you'll end up in Iraq. The third thing he did was to order 300 "military sdvisors" to Baghdad. Now wait a minute, didn't Obama say there wasn't a military solution? The vast majority of the fighters streaming across Iraq are not Iraqi's but jihadist terrorists that joined ISIS that were drawn into the Syrian campaign from elsewhere.
Why didn't Obama order air strikes immediately when there was a chance to assist Maliki's forces and beat back ISIS? There was a window of opportunity to stop the advancing ISIS convoys in the open deserts of Northwest Iraq before they reached Mosul. But no, Obama sat on his thumbs and let them take the ammo dumps at Mosul. So now they have massive arms including stinger missile systems and heavy armor. By comparison, the fact that the forces led by President Slobodan Milosevic didn't stop Clinton in Bosnia/Herzegonina from carrying on air strikes despite Russian made SAM's in the area. He simply had them do thieir bombing runs at 30,000 feet above the 12,000 feet ceiling of those weapons. Scary to think Clinton had more on the ball as CiC than does Obama. Obama really doesn't want any military involvement what so ever in Iraq. He was dissed by Maliki who wouldn't sign a Status of Force Agreement giving U.S. forces immunity should civilians be harmed in airstrikes etc... In Obama's mind Makili is on his own no matter what the consequences. Of coruse Maliki has asked Obama for assistance. Obama has dithered to the point of rediculousness.
The only group that has stood on their own have been the Kurds who saw an opportunity and took the oilfields in Kirkuk from ISIS. They will be one of the winners in this because they now hold those oilfields that were just outside their reach from the Iraqi government. Because of what's going on they have a huge advantage in getting their own country of Kurdistan. You may say the Turks will have something to say about that. The Turks have tempered their hatred of the Kurds for now. Why? Because they realize a free Kurdistan is better than an ISIS terrorist organization on their border.
Now that brings us to Iran. WHAT THE FRAK IS OBAMA DOING KISSING IRANIAN BEHIND GETTING THEM TO BE THE SAVING ANGEL IN IRAQ!!!! WTF!!!!? There are actually morons in the Obama administration who are saying this can actually be a good thing. It will open up lines of communication with Iran and can be used to avert them getting a nuclear weapon. WTF!!!!!!? WHAT PLANET ARE THESE BAFOONS ON!!!!? Iran will be the other winner in this. Not only are they arming ISIS but now will come riding in on their arabian stallions to save the day in Iraq. Do you think they won't claim a stake in Iraq's southern oil fields? Do you think they won't continue their nuclear program to get a nuclear weapon? Again what planet are these ideologically driven idiots in Obama's administration from?
It pisses me off no end to see Iraq where we lost 4400 of our finest fall to these jihadist barbarians and Obama sits on his thumbs the entire time. Obama is spitting on the graves of those that lost their lives and their families. Watching all of this unfold is about to make my head explode. I think of all of the 3rd ACR and 101st Airborne members who lost their lives or were wounded clearing Tal-Afar and Mosul of al-Queda. I think of all of the 25th AD in Tikrit and Baqubha. I think of my friend CW3 Robert Hammett who lost his life in Sadr City and with whom I worked with at Ft. Bliss and Baqubha, Iraq. I think of all of those 1AD in Bagdhad and Tikrit. I think of the 4400 and nearly 33,000 wounded in Iraq for what? What the frak is the occupier of the White House thinking!!??
