Op-ed: 

And so it seems it was all for naught

"Baghdad is going to be overrun. The Green Zone is going down." – U.S. intelligence official

As Iraq is on the verge of total collapse, the U.S. stock market is tanking, and oil prices are surging due to the ongoing violence throughout the entire Middle East. And Barack HUSSEIN Obama is doing NOTHING...doing NOTHING in regards to Iraq even after the Iraqi government has asked...has begged...for help. And his lack of action...except to say "we can't and won't do it for them" and that Iraq needs to settle its own political differences...political difference he has contributed directly to...will most assuredly result in the birth of a highly dangerous islamic caliphate that will NOT only be the foreboding of a jihadist takeover of Iraq and its surrounding Arab nations, but will be one which will pose a direct threat to America and all western nations as well.

Claiming he was caught off guard...LIAR...by the strength, fortitude, and determination of the extremist group the 'Islamic State in Iraq and Syria'...an extremely brutal al-Qaida affiliate known by its acronym ISIS and one that's under the command of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the terrorist released by Obama from Camp Bucca in 2009 and who still has a $10 million reward by the FBI on his head (notice a pattern here)...the major Iraqi cities of Mosul (which is less than one hundred miles from Syria and one that's strategically vital for funding al-Qaeda in Iraq) and Tikrit have fallen to the terrorists, all while Obama says he won't send in troops but might consider possible air strikes to help the flailing Iraqi government. 

Yet to date NOTHING has been done...NOTHING at all...as the growing in numbers Sunni militants are advancing south towards Baghdad by the hour...as they travel on a road riddled with headless bodies of their doing. And now these newly embolden terrorists are said to be planning to bring jihad NOT only to Iraq but to Jordan, the Gaza Strip, the Sinai, and to Lebanon as well.

And what are the U.S. trained Iraqi government forces doing...they're turning and running away in surrender. But it's NOT that they want to surrender, it's that Obama’s having given out the U.S. withdrawal date for all to hear made their standing and fighting a mute point for once we leave they know they do NOT stand a chance against this well-armed, well-financed jihadi army of sorts.

And to make this situation even worse than just for those Iraqis trying to fight back is the fact that Barack HUSSEIN Obama...the Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces...has now made each and every America death...has made every drop of American blood shed...has made every crippling wound our troops sustained...has made it all for naught as the people and the cities they gave their lives and limbs to free have now been handed back to the very terrorist groups we fought so hard to free this country from.

More American blood on his hands as the bottom line is this...Iraq's most likely soon to be fall is directly the fault of both Barack HUSSIEN Obama and his administration who have NO...I repeat NO...idea whatsoever how both reckless and dangerous its 'supposed' foreign policy is as their foreign policy is actually NO policy in support of America or its interests at all. NO foreign policy at all for how does one free and secure a country and then turn its back and abandon it with NO plan in place to keep the hard fought for peace intact.

Simply stated...one does NOT but our beloved America under this man's watch... under this traitor's watch...NOT only turns her back on our allies and friends but on we Americans as well.

Yet 'We the People' did see this coming...the generals saw this coming...while Obama and crew deliberately chose to look away and ignore the warnings sounded by those of the ground. And as both political and secular violence sadly became part of the Iraqi people's daily life over this past year...Obama did little to NOTHING to train Iraqi's army to stand strong against those wanting to undo all we had done.

And again he did little because America's enemies...because our allies enemies... are indeed his friends...are the ones to whom his true allegiances lie.

And thanks to Obama's actions...or should I say lack thereof...the die for a total Middle East implosion has been cast as Iran...Iraq's old enemy...as the very one who wants Israel wiped off the map...are coming to the aid of its long held thorn in its side. Now sending 150 of its infamous, highly trained, elite Revolutionary Guards (with promises to send more as the need arises) to aid the Iraqi government in its fight against the ISIS militants, the very incursion of Iran into the battle lights a fuse to disaster that NO one might be able to extinguish.

And as strategic alliances in the region are forced to change now that Iran has inserted themselves into the mix, what's left of the Iraqi army's command has turned over the defense of the all-important oil city of Kirkuk (often called the 'Kurdish Jerusalem') to Kurdish forces, who are deploying for yet another attack by the jihadists. And while the Kurds to the north gather for all-out war, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki issued an all-inclusive call-up in Baghdad for its citizens (30,000 have signed up so far) to help in defending the city against the advance of ISIS and other al-Qaeda forces that are poised to overrun and take over the city...forces that are now less than 25 miles away from the city's outskirts.

And Iraq falling will affect both the Middle East and the global stage as well. First, with Iraq being a huge oil exporter, damage to its production network will most assuredly have a negative effect on the world economy as oil prices will indeed rise and rise to its highest prices ever. Second, Jordan, a country already overrun with about a million refugees from the civil war in Syria, is concerned...and rightly so... about a possible influx of Iraqi Shiites and then following them with attacks by Sunni jihadistss crossing the Iraqi border. Third, with Mosul being just an hour's drive from the Kurdish regional capital of Erbil, Turkey's government is rife with fears that the involvement of Peshmerga (Kurdish) troops into the Iraqi conflict would embolden the Kurds to further their secessionist ambitions into disputed areas that both the Kurds and Turkey claim.

But lastly and most importantly is the Israel vs. Iran vs the U.S. scenario. We all know that Obama wants the al-Assad government gone, and to that affect he has been (ILLEGALLY as in Benghazi) transferring guns and weapons to the 'supposed' moderate Sunni (al-Qaeda supported) rebels for quite some time. But with the newest developments in Iraq, including the surprising development of Iran's siding with al-Maliki's government, a mutual interest has arisen for the U.S. and Iran as the last thing either country wants is a Sunni theocracy, gleamed from the playbook of Osama bin Laden, sitting on Iran's western border. But Iran is the chief enemy of Israel and with Obama constantly stabbing Israel in the back, what happens to Israel if Obama outwardly switches sides concerning all things Israel. Israel will NOT take kindly to that and this might just force Israel to do what it should have done years ago...and there's NO need to tell you what that is.

So as the now probable fall of Iraq brings back memories of the ghosts of Viet Nam...a war that should have been an American victory but one that turned into a hasty retreat NOT because of our brave troops fighting but because of the leaders behind the troops...weak leaders...leaders who put the enemies sensibilities before our own...leaders who did NOT know how to fight to win but only to sustain what they thought of as victory that sadly was anything but...I leave you with the words of Barack HUSSEIN Obama...delusional words by a delusional and evil man who now has the ghosts of America's dead resting squarely on his shoulders where they rightfully belong.

"The world is less violent than it has ever been. It is healthier than it has ever been. It is more tolerant than it has ever been. It is better fed then it's ever been. It is more educated than it's ever been."

And anyone who believes that is as delusional as he is...and the Iraqi people know that better than most as they have become the very delusion of which he speaks.

Bowe's Release: The Truth Exposed...Part 1 of 4 

By: Diane Sori

 

“The Qatari government has given us assurances that it will put in place measures to protect our national security.” 

- Barack HUSSEIN Obama at Saturday's news conference where he announced the release of Bowe Bergdahl

Our past presidents have always stood strong in saying that America does NOT negotiate with terrorists...but now it seems that America under this president does indeed negotiate with terrorists for this past Saturday Bowe Bergdahl's long-hoped for release from five years of captivity at the hands of the Taliban was secured by doing just that.

Bowe's release (to American Special Operations forces inside Afghanistan near the Pakistan border) was attained in exchange for five GITMO detainees who will now be free to rejoin their comrades in the killing of Americans...five enemy combatants exchanged for this one American who will now come home NOT only to parents who love and cherish him, but to a nation who while celebrating his release questions NOT only the circumstances of that release, but who questions the circumstances of his very capture.

And Bowe also comes home to a question of timing for was his release timed as a PR stunt by this administration's media machine to divert attention away from the scandals Barack HUSSEIN Obama is awash in...timed for yet another photo-op and self-gratifying pat on the back...timed to make Obama the hero in Bowe's release in the same vein that he made himself the hero in the 'supposed' take down of Osama bin-Laden.

But that is one question I think we all know the answer to.

And of course upon hearing of Bowe's release Obama, as if right on cue, was quick to arrange a televised photo-op with Bowe's parents where he said America “leaves no man behind,” yet he calculatingly forgets the four he did leave behind...the four he and he alone sentenced to die in a hell-hole called Benghazi.

And Bowe's story in and of itself is one of contradictions as Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was NOT captured on the battlefield, thus some are claiming he left base camp on June 30, 2009 of his own free will after finishing a guard shift at the combat outpost in Afghanistan's Paktika province where he was stationed, then turning up with the Taliban a short time later. Others say he just went for a walk near the base camp in a supposed secure area but was captured during that walk. The answer to that will NOT be known until he is debriefed...and know that Bowe will be questioned like few before him have been.

One scenario is that if Bowe had voluntarily went to the Taliban they would have used his desertion in a propaganda campaign bar none...and they did NOT because they could NOT. And if one studies the few pictures released of Bowe over these five long years one can clearly see his deteriorating physical condition, and that would NOT be the case if Bowe had become one of the Taliban's own.

The other scenario...and I hope this is NOT true...is that Bowe went AWOL, converted to islam and now according to some reports...including that of a Taliban deputy district commander...is alleged to have been teaching the Taliban fighters bomb-making skills.

But neither scenario changes the fact that Bowe's release was secured by negotiating with terrorists...terrorists who have long demanded that those particular five be released. And now by meeting the enemy's demands, and doing so by overriding the fact that Congress needed to be notified beforehand...which they were NOT...Barack HUSSEIN Obama has placed a bulls-eye on the back of every American troop still left in the Afghan war theater...as in capture one of ours and we'll trade them for at least five of yours...and that is one place where this president should NEVER have gone.

Now sending the Taliban an unmistakable message that we will do anything to leave the nightmare of Afghanistan behind, Barack HUSSEIN Obama has put a payable price on our leaving, and that price now dishonors all those brave American warriors who NEVER were given the chance to come home. And it also puts a bulls-eye on any and all Afghani's who aided Americans in their quest to free Afghanistan from the hands of the very Taliban Obama now freely negotiated with.

Remember too that those five released from GITMO were NOT just ordinary Taliban fighters, as two of them were senior militant commanders connected to altercations that killed both American and allied troops. And one of those released is Mohammad Nabi Omari, a man with strong ties to al-Qaeda and the Haqqani network (one of Afghanistan’s most experienced insurgent groups with ties to the Pakastani security establishment and one of the deadliest threats to U.S. troops during the war). And two others released, Mullah Norullah Noori and Mullah Mohammad Fazl, have been directly tied to the murders of thousands of Afghani Shiites. But thanks to this deal, and after spending just a year in Qatar under the most questionable of security restrictions, including a mere one-year travel ban, they will be free to do what the Taliban do best...kill any and all who oppose them.

A great trade this was NOT when the ramifications could very well come back to haunt... ramifications possibly fueled on because Bowe's dad, appearing in the Rose Garden with Obama, said in Arabic a phrase routinely used by muslims in praise of allah, "بسم الله، الرحمان، الرحيم،"... translation: “In the name of allah, the most gracious, the most merciful”...before speaking about his son's release.

Why speak in Arabic...why address the American people in Arabic when one's prisoner son was just released by those speaking Arabic...why...we need to know why...we demand to know why.

But when all is said and done, Bowe is finally free, but at a terrible price that comes complete with many mixed emotions...a price whose payment America will be making to the enemy for years to come for the Taliban have scored a propaganda victory as Barack HUSSEIN Obama bent to their will...or did he actually bend to the will of his own. And I dare NOT think of how our troops must feel knowing that five of the enemy...an enemy who killed so many of their brothers and sisters in arms...have now been released by their Commander-in-Chief to kill more of them yet again.

So unless new information comes to light proving otherwise...and it very well might...we should revel in Bowe's release as one once left behind is now finally coming home. 

In Part 2, running tomorrow, my good friend and RIGHT SIDE RADIO partner, Craig Andresen, goes into detail about Obama's overriding Congress to secure Bowe's release.
