Doing the Bare Minimum...If Even That

“We don’t have, yet, a complete strategy to confront the threat posed by ISIL.”

- Barack HUSSEIN Obama's words after the recent summit meeting of the Group of 7

Republicans in Congress along with the general public...including surprisingly many Democrat party loyalists...think Obama is NOT doing enough...is NOT doing anything...to combat and defeat ISIS. The man who still refuses to even utter the words 'islamic terrorists' has now in a placating gesture to silence his critics...or so he thinks...announced last week that he is NOT only sending 450 more American troops to Iraq as 'advisors' but will also speed up the delivery of weapons and equipment to the Iraqi forces. Translation: Obama is sending 'advisors' to advise the very same Iraqi military that drops their American-supplied weapons and hightails it and runs when the going gets tough...leaving behind these very weapons for ISIS to use against the very ones we are trying to protect.

Oh what a continuing web of deceit Obama is weaving...an ever-expanding web of diversion and deflection...a web carefully and calculatingly weaved to hide the fact that he...Barack HUSSEIN Obama...is actually NOT only aiding and abetting the enemy but is in fact one of the enemy.

So now in only the second troop increase since America returned...sort of...to Iraq last year... bringing American troop levels up to 3,550... Obama's newest minimal troop increase in NO way amounts to supplying enough manpower to actually win the war against ISIS let alone securing the recapture of Ramadi and the Anbar province. Basically just a repackaging of the same tired old 'stay the course strategy' that has NOT worked to date...nor will it work in the future...Obama knows well that a major troop increase coupled with 'shock and awe' non-stop carpet bombing is what's needed but will NOT authorize either for that would result in too many of his brethren prematurely attaining their 72 virgins.

Claiming he's authorizing these additional troops to aid in Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s recent gestures of inclusion towards the Sunnis, to advise and assist Iraqi security forces, and engage the area's Sunni tribesmen in an attempt to convince Sunni fighters to join together with the Shi'ite dominated Iraqi Army in the fight against ISIS, Obama knows well that this is a useless endeavor as the two factions do NOT trust let alone like each other. And if al-Abadi is weakened...and this is truly what Obama wants...his buddies in Shi'ite dominated Iran become emboldened even more than they already are. Remember, this is the very same Iran who so wants to wipe Israel off the map...the very same Iran Obama is aiding in that goal with his upcoming sure-to-be-signed farce of a nuclear deal. 

So with Al Taqqadum in the eastern part of Anbar Province serving as their base of operation, the newly ordered 450 troops will NOT to be positioned on the front lines...where they would actually make a difference albeit a small difference...and in those numbers there is NOT one much needed air controller being deployed who could aid in directing precision air strikes from U.S. bombers and Apache attack helicopters... basically translating into a waste of 450 American troops who like those before them are entering a war zone with their hands tied behind their backs.

Par for the course for our traitor-in-chief I would say.

Losing the peace after George W. Bush's 'surge' had won the war, it becomes obvious by his very words and actions...or should I say inactions...that Barack HUSSEIN Obama NEVER intend for Iraq to remain free nor did he ever intend for ISIS to be destroyed. 

So many examples to that affect but here are just a few highlights of his most infamously remembered words...“The analogy we use around here sometimes, and I think is accurate, is if a J.V. team puts on Lakers uniforms, that doesn’t make them Kobe Bryant,” Obama's words that ISIS was but a junior varsity basketball team as he knowingly played down the strategic threat they posed NOT only to the region but to the U.S. as well....“A strategy that involves invading every country that harbors terrorist networks is naïve and unsustainable,” Obama's words delivered at West Point where he tried to NOT only distance himself from proven successful Bush-era strategies in an effort to convince the cadets that training vulnerable unprepared countries to fight against extremists is the answer.

And let's NOT forget ”The United States has no intention of being the Iraqi air force,” said a day after U.S. bombers began their campaign against ISIS who threatened to wipe out the Yazidi Christians...along with ”I don't think we're losing” just recently said as he passed the buck for the fall of Ramadi onto the ill-prepared Iraqi army...ill-prepared because he announced the withdrawal date of American forces for the enemy and the world to hear.

So while thousands of new recruits...including recruits from our own country... replenish the ranks of ISIS fighters faster than the Obama 'supposed' coalition can remove them from battle...Obama himself smugly sits back with a smirk on his face and congratulates his narcissistic self for implementing with the media's help a strategy that is NOTHING but useless talking points and platitudes that is working according to plan... working according to his plan to help forward the implementation of first a regional caliphate that once in place will then encompass Europe and hopefully then come to America. 

And Congress knows this, our military hierarchy knows this, and We the People' know this...but sadly NOTHING is being done by anyone to stop this most traitorous of men. Now just imagine that the 40 or so thousand islamic savages do manage to beat the greatest military the world has ever known all because we dared NOT hurt the sensibilities nor fight back against those out to kill us all...the worst of all possible realities courtesy of we placating and condoning both the words and actions of the muslim occupying the White House.

And to that all I can say is God help us all.

Mission accomplished...Obama style
By: Diane Sori

“Every person who served in Iraq or Afghanistan never loses that part of them when they come home. It becomes part of their soul.”- former three-star General Mark Hertling

Sometimes reality is cruel but sometimes reality stares us in the face and forces us to face facts, and one of those facts is that it's time we accept...liberal rhetoric aside...that we indeed are at war with islam...all islam...and that thanks to the "absence of conviction" of Barack HUSSEIN Obama we have sadly lost Iraq, as the sustained peace our soldiers fought and died for has NOT come to pass.

When George W. Bush left office the tangible physical war in Iraq had been won so to speak, but now 4,486 American troops have returned home in coffins, three quarters of them killed on Obama's watch. And thanks to Obama, in his role as Commander-in-Chief, forcing our troops to fight politically correct battles for "the hearts and minds" of the enemy instead of fighting those battles to win, there was a major resurgence in violence over this past year across the western province of Anbar, resulting in the black flag of al-Qaeda now flying over government buildings in Fallujah. And as the jihadists declare an Islamic state in a city in one of the most critical areas we fought hard to secure and temper down before Obama's telling the enemy...telling the world...when exactly American forces would be leaving became reality....seeing that flag symbolically stained with the blood of our American heroes flying in victory, sadly proclaims for all to see that our fighting and our dying was for naught.

And it took Obama just five years to lose all the gains we had made in Iraq...for Obama NOT only lost the war...or what he calls 'an overseas contingency'...but he sold out the peace...for that simple black al-Qaeda flag announces to the world the total failure of his policies in Iraq.

And it announces NOT just defeat but now his actions...or lack thereof...spits on the graves of the 3000+ Americans lost on September 11th when that very same al-Qaeda changed America forever. America's enemy...the one's Obama claimed were "decimated and on the run"...were anything but for as they regrouped and grew stronger Barack HUSSEIN Obama...America's very own 'enemy within'... looked away for our enemy is his friend...a friend he gave the chance to just wait it out until we left and then take back what American blood had been spilled for.

And now some are saying...and maybe rightly so...that the war in Iraq was possibly the biggest waste of American lives, American money, and American time in our nation's history. And when you compare Iraq to the aftermath of World War II there is some credence to what those folks are saying.

Remember, when Japan and Germany were occupied after the war the rules we set for the occupation were strictly enforced and the occupation lasted for years, which gave those countries time to restructure themselves to become successful modern nations, something we did NOT do in Iraq or for that fact we are NOT doing now in Afghanistan.

But thanks to the Obama liberals, to the leftists, to the kumbaya Democrats who dared NOT step on muslim toes, all we did when Obama sold us and the Iraqi people out was leave behind arms, equipment, and training programs so that the locals could create a viable fighting force, but we did NOT leave people there to train them, and so now all those arms and equipment are rotting across the landscape of Iraq.

And so what we hoped to win, we actually were destined to lose.

And the very basis for our being destined to lose...besides having a traitor sitting in the White House...is because it was NEVER admitted to...at least NOT publicly...that we are indeed at war with islam for if you do NOT recognize who the enemy is how can you be victorious over them. And like I said in the beginning of this piece we are most assuredly at war with ALL of islam for those who simply follow the tenets of islam cannot be separated from those who commit unspeakable acts in the name of islam. And America's Judeo-Christian mindset cannot fathom nor understand the vileness of those whose very so-called holy book (the qur'an) commands them to kill all who do NOT believe as they do. And it's our total awe of that very unspeakable understanding that prevents us from doing what we all know needs to be done and accepting the fact that our Judeo-Christian America...a nation whose very ideals, values, morals, and beliefs were founded upon the word of the one true living God of the Christians and Jews...can NEVER co-exist in peace with those who relish and welcome death over life.

So sadly, something deep in our hearts we knew was coming but dared NOT speak of, al-Qaeda flags now fly over both Fallujah and Ramadi. And for those who fought the good fight...for those who came home damaged in body and mind...that reality is hard to accept as it should be.

“It brings back a lot of anger,” said U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. Paul, who served in the Iraqi cities of Fallujah and Ramadi. “I feel like it’s been a big waste of time. It’s kind of like, why the hell did all my buddies die there for."

And how right he is for because of Barack HUSSEIN Obama and his misguided allegiances and policies we have lost Iraq...and probably will lose Afghanistan too...as our brave troops are NOT returning home as the victors they should be but as those in defeat...and that is something that this most miserable of presidents must be both called to task for and made to answer for...period.

Iraq...is it really over for America
By: Diane Sori

And it seems they all died in vain...or did they.

'Shock and awe'...well served and with good intentions...a war that freed Iraq from the clutches of a brutal dictator and gave the Iraqi people a chance at an independent, free, and sovereign nation...a chance that Barack HUSSEIN Obama's deliberately misguided actions have taken away from them...taken away from them at the cost of American lives.

And with Iraq’s (Shi'ite) Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki now facing political unrest as 44 members of Iraq’s parliament resigned due to government forces breaking-up Sunni-led protests, fighters from the al-Qaeda linked group the Islamic State in Iraq and Levant have completely taken over the city center of Fallujah (where 100 Marines were killed in the 2004 second battle of Fallujah) by seizing military equipment given to Fallujah's police by US Marines. And with al-Qaeda militants almost in total control of the provincial capital of Ramadi, you have to wonder where did we go wrong and was the cost in American lives and in our taxpayer dollars worth it.

The answer to the first question is easy...Barack HUSSEIN Obama is the sole cause of the war gone horribly wrong...but the second question is a bit harder to answer for many factors come into play as Iraq heads into a civil war of Wahhabi Sunni vs. Shi'ite muslims.

Since the Iraq/Afghan War began on March 3, 2003, and up to about four days ago, 4489 American troops have been killed in the almost 11 years of fighting with two-thirds of those deaths occurring in the almost five years since Barack HUSSEIN Obama usurped...I mean took the oath of office. And more than 51,778 have been wounded, including thousands with serious brain and spinal injuries... including those coming home minus arms and legs...and including those with PTSD being their life after seeing and living the horrors of war.

And those returning home now have to continue to fight weary as they are, but this time they're sadly fighting their own government for their pensions and for much needed medical care... fighting their own government because the man who occupies the White House does NOT honor them, their sacrifices nor does he keep promises made to them.

So as these brave warriors battle DC bureaucracy for what is rightfully theirs, the fact remains that the money spent in tying to assure Iraq's seemingly now lost freedom could exceed three TRILLION of our taxpayer dollars...three TRILLION dollars for Iraq and a tooth and nail fight for our troops...all courtesy of the Obama administration...all courtesy of a Commander-in-Chief who is anything but.

And buried within those three TRILLION dollars is the millions of dollars that was spent on equipment that sits rotting in fields all over Iraq...and this because Obama would NOT allow our troops to train the Iraqi's on how to use said equipment for what was of paramount importance for this most vile of men...for this most traitorous of presidents...was announcing to the enemy the date our troops would begin and end their withdrawal, thus assuring them victory if they just bode their time and waited for us to leave...for as we all know America's enemies are Barack HUSSEIN Obama's friends on whose side his allegiance always lies.

So as violence escalates throughout Iraq, especially in the al-Anbar province where 2013 saw the most civilian casualties in five years, and as internal security issues worsen, Obama continues to bloviate that ending the Iraq War is one of the main accomplishments of his administration...second only of course to his single handed take down Osama bin-Laden (sarcastically said) NOT caring that what he calls ending a war is actually losing a war due to his having had our troops fight that war as per the tenets of political correctness.

But the question remains was this sacrifice of American lives, American blood, and American limbs worth it. Remember, some have said that this war was all about oil and making the 'fat cats' even fatter, so for those who believe that I guess to them it was NOT worth the cost in American lives for the war did NOT affect Iraq’s major oil fields. In fact, Iraq is now pumping even more crude than before the war as it's increased links to wells in its predominately Shi'ite south.

Also remember that Iraq, as much as the Democrats want it to be, is NOT really George W. Bush's war for it was Billy-Boy Clinton himself, who in 1998, signed the Iraq Liberation Act, making Saddam Hussein’s removal from power a matter of US policy.

And as much as those on the left claim that Saddam Hussein did NOT have the chemical and biological weapons that were the major selling point for America going to war even though the chemical weapons now in the hands of Syria's Bashar Assad are the very ones Saddam moved out of Iraq into Syria before the first US troop set foot on Iraqi soil...and even though Bush's 'surge' turned the tide of the war in America's favor and helped give birth to a fledgling Iraqi democracy... even with all this taking its toll in American lives the war was worth fighting because abandoning what Clinton set in motion...abandoning what Bush accomplished... would have been reckless at best... would have been un-American at worst for what America starts America finishes...Barack HUSSEIN Obama be damned. 

But do NOT think for a minute that this war is really over as Iraq stands between Iran and Israel and for that reason alone the Iraq war will NEVER be truly over for America.
