yeah, ok...keep giving Obama a pass on what's happening in Iraq. I'm not going to bother trying to convince you otherwise. Bush ####ed up and now Obama ####ed it up more. I'm not sure how anyone can deny that.
So how long would you have kept a large military presence in Iraq?
I don't have the inside knowledge to provide an answer. The Obama Administration seems to have felt that we were there long enough. It was a mistake. He was wrong. That's all I'm saying. I don't know why it's so hard for some people to admit it. We ####ed up again.
I think we should all be crystal clear: The biggest mistake for the US in regards to Iraq was staying as long as the US did.

It was a bigger mistake than the invasion itself.
Disagree with this. After the invasion we needed to stay there, probably longer than we did. We left too early, and that's on Obama IMO.We should have put more pressure on the govt in Baghdad to relax their mistreatment of Sunnis both before and after we left. That is on both Bush and Obama.

But most importantly we should have followed Biden's advice and decentralized Iraq, and thrown our support behind the Kurds. By the time Obama came in it was too late for this idea. So this is on Bush.
On May 1, 2003. Bush was right. Mission Accomplished. Iraq forces were defeated, the country didn’t have WMDs, and Hussein was overthrown. Mission Accomplished. That was the mission.



The mission was never to occupy Iraq for 10, 20, 30 or 50 years. Talk about scope creep.

Maybe you should back up your own claims before asking others to back up theirs:

You have like three different posts at FBG, let's cover them:

The Packers got cheated, probably by Obama
Racist, moronic rants against Obama
Moronic rants against anyone who disagrees with your original moronic rants

Pretty spot on right?

Those are 100% of your posts. Prove me wrong.
Y'know, as a show of faith that you actually practice what you preach.
Is that what he's being indicted for? Stay on point, sherlock.

Whether it was authorized by a Republican or not is irrelevant. That's nothing but a talking point for those who don't have an argument. The progressives are behind this - and it IS a witch hunt. Even the most liberal of people and organizations are calling this indictment horse####.
Well, the progressives are on a witch hunt, that's for sure. With "witch" being defined as anyone that doesn't buy into their :bs: .
This is nothing other than a witch hunt by the Democrats.
Looks like one of the grand jurors was actually actively participating as a Democratic Party Delegate.

Yeah, nothing stinks about this at all.
VERY weak. It's basically an attempt by Democrats to subvert election results.
So you must feel the same way about Obama?
Is the default for Democrats now to try and indict their opponents if they don't like election results?
These just snippets from just the last week. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Like I said, you should have just left.

Don't know why you are laughing. You said 100% of my posts. 100% - that means all of them.

 
I'd like to apologize to the entire FFA for Max posting here. It's not my fault, but I do think an apology is necessary.

Is this what you teach your kids? to deflect and divert when you've been called out for clearly being wrong?

Anyways, this has gone on long enough. We can put this to bed now as you can't prove that I'm a racist nor can you prove that 100% of my posts were what you said they were.

That is true, might be closer to 90% than 100%. I'm going to invoke the horseshoes and hand grenades law here, close enough IMO.

Regarding your first point. We were there for nine years, and after we left, it was relatively stable for two and a half years before the IsIS thing. So you're saying we needed at least three more years of a large military presence.

So when would you see that ending?

 
So no answer to the question?
Nice strawman here, well played.
:lmao:

It's a strawman when I ask you to answer the question posed to you?

ok
Again, I called your initial claim to you saying that Obama supplied ISIS with weapons. Since then you've been unable to backup your claims, creating a strawman.

So here we are.

OK...outside of any connection with ISIS to al Nusra Front or the Free Syrian Army I can't make any credible accusation that arms that we supplied to Syria went directly to ISIS. While I won't be naïve and think that it couldn't happen, there's no proof of it so I won't continue with thinking it. I'm actually glad that I couldn't find anything. I have found the fall of Mosul to be questionable but this helps to realize that it is probable.

Here's a decent write up: My Link

And people wonder why we have distanced ourselves from Saudi Arabia over the past few years. Writing was on the wall on Sept 12th, 2001 and we need to step away from that relationship and seek new ones in the region. I hate to say it, but Iran has to be more worried about ISIS than we do and some cooperation with them on this should be in order.

Once Maliki was in power there was nothing Bush or Obama could do to improve the treatment of Sunnis. Maliki got what he wanted (power) and wasn't going to give it up because of something an American President told him to do. Sunnis were never going to give up this fight to regain power in the government.

Obama made the correct decision to cut our losses and get out. The documentary "No End In Sight" laid this out perfectly.

There is plenty to criticize Obama over regarding the rise of ISIS in Iraq. Although, as I have stated, I generally believe that Obama has been a terrific foreign policy President, it seems to me that this has been a series of blunders.

Fair question. I honestly don't know. We may have to spend a lot of treasure, and possibly send some more military over there, even now. And I don't know how long it's going to take either.

Obviously we never should have invaded in the first place. I can't recall a single worse foreign policy decision in my lifetime. But it's too late to do anything about it now. We're stuck with this situation. I think it was wrong of Obama to leave as quickly as he did.

I don't find that answer acceptable. Beyond the treasure, there a lives that would be lost. I'm not comfortable spending any more of those over there.

All the military families should be happy that Obama got us out of there.

I'm actually surprised that no one whose family member was killed in Iraq has hunted down Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and all yet.

I completely agree with you. I don't find it acceptable, and I'm not comfortable with it. But I have a strong feeling that not doing anything would be even worse.
 
The answer to the OP is no, it isn't really up for debate either. I say this as an independent who hates just about every politician in office. I didn't vote in 2012 bc I didn't like Obama or Romney.

All economic indicators are absolutely in the right direction now. While I disagree with his foreign policy, he was handed a pile of #### so it's tough to say what should be done.

 
I voted "yes".

1. When American citizens were fighting for their lives against a terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, not only did President Obama refuse to defend our Ambassador and others, but he deliberately lied about the cause of the attack in order to win reelection.

2. The Benghazi Terror Attack never would have happened if Barack Obama had not violated the War Powers Act and used military force against Libya without Congressional approval.

3. Barack Obama refused to defend the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) during a Supreme Court challenge, even though the law was passed with bipartisan support and signed into law by Pres. Bill Clinton.

4. Even though the votes were not there to ratify the U.N. Small Arms Treaty in the Senate, Barack Obama signed it anyway in a clear example of his disregard for American autonomy and our Second Amendment rights.

5. Barack Obama violated Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution by holding the Chairmanship of the U.N. Security Council while also being President.

6. When Congress refused to pass the D.R.E.A.M Act, a bill that grants amnesty to illegal alien youth, Barack Obama defied Congress and implemented it anyway by Executive Order.

7. The Obama administration has repeatedly leaked classified information for political gain, putting American lives at risk in the process.

8. Obama’s Justice Department facilitated Operation Fast and Furious, a failed gun running operation that ultimately ended up arming the Mexican drug cartels, leading to the death of one Border Patrol agent and countless other innocent civilians.

9. Barack Obama used executive privilege to cover up his administration’s involvement in Fast and Furious and keep documents classified.

10. Barack Obama unilaterally delayed the Employer Mandate of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on July 2, 2013, something the President does not have the power to do.

11.Obama unilaterally delayed the Employer Mandate AGAIN, pushing the requirement back to 2016 in order to assist Democrats in upcoming Midterm Elections.

12.Obama has taken it upon himself to change the Affordable Care Act more than twenty other times without ever seeking Congressional approval.

13.The Obama administration continues to try to force religious institutions to pay for abortion services for employees, a clear violation of their religious conscience.

14.Barack Obama, single handedly, ordered the assassination of four United States citizens – Anwar al-Awlaki, Abdul Rahman al-Awlaki, Samir Khan, and Jude Kenan Mohammed – in clear violation of their Fifth Amendment right to due process.

15. Barack Obama illegally made a “recess appointment” to place Donald Berwick as the head of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Only problem was that the Senate was still in session, so Obama broke the law.

16. Obama bypassed the Senate AGAIN with the illegal “recess” appointment of Richard Cordray to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

17. Obama bypassed the Senate AGAIN with the illegal “recess” appointment of three people to the National Labor Relations Bureau.

18. Barack Obama repeatedly promised the American people that if they liked their doctor and healthcare plan, they could keep them under the Affordable Care Act, even though he knew that was a lie.

19.Barack Obama repeatedly promised the American people that they would save, on average, $2,500/year under theAffordable Care Act. Not only was this a lie, but the exact opposite is true.

20. When he thought no one was listening, Obama promised Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev that once he convinced the American people to elect him again, he would have “more flexibility” to dismantle our missile defense program.

21. Not only has Barack Obama refused to enforce Federal law and protect the country’s southern border, his administration has actually sued states like Arizona for trying to enforce border security themselves.

22. Barack Obama was held in contempt of court for illegally ordering a moratorium on all offshore oil drilling after the Gulf oil spill.

23. Barack Obama has expressed his desire to disarm the American people and he has implemented more than twenty gun control executive orders to limit Americans’ access to legal firearms and create a gun registry.

24. Under Barack Obama, the government’s use of internal border checkpoints has skyrocketed, denying Americans their constitutional rights and subjecting them to unreasonable searches and seizures while traveling America’s roadways.

25. Obama has expanded the NSA’s monitoring and domestic spying programs, collecting data on millions of Americans without a warrant or cause.

26. Despite promising unparalleled government transparency, Barack Obama has prosecuted twice as many whistleblowers under the Espionage Act as every other President combined.

27. Obama’s Department of Justice has secretly subpoenaed the phone records of Associated Press reporters and editors and singled out Fox News Reporter Jim Rosen, serving him with espionage charges for simply doing his job.

28. Obama’s failed economic policies and deliberate attempts to redistribute the country’s wealth have sustained the economic turmoil gripping the country.

29. The Obama administration’s Internal Revenue Service target political opposition, specifically Tea Party groups, for extra scrutiny to stop them from organizing leading up to the 2012 election.

30. Obama has promised to circumvent Congress whenever possible to illegally implement his agenda through Executive Orders.

.....and he has almost 2 years to go.

The Republicans are just as bad....just not as blatant.

Bottom line.....we're screwed.

I find it hard to believe that anyone would want any President from any political party to BRAG that he would "bypass Congress".

People...you DO understand why the Founding Fathers set up our govt. in the way they did....don't you?

Maybe some of you should go back to school and read about....oh wait...they don't teach that any more...do they?

People complain about politicians not getting things done...but this is a GOOD thing.

The system was designed so that any idea must have support of the people before going forward

When it comes to "nothing getting done" it is usually the President standing in the way of the people....NOT the people standing in the way of the President!

Remember, the framers of the Constitution had just broken away from a king and they tried to guarantee that there would never be a "King of America"

So, they enacted three branches of govt.

THREE....this ensures checks and balances and ensures that no ONE MAN becomes to powerful

The SENATE consists of 2 representatives from each state...regardless of the size of that state and are elected for 6 years

Congress currently consists of 435 members. This fluctuates with state population. Thus, it is called "The People's House". Reps serve 2 year terms

The President. The executive who basically "oversees" the operation and offers guidance and serves for 4 years.

Under this system, the President can introduce any ideas that he may have but it is the representatives of the PEOPLE who will decide if his ideas come to fruition.

I don't care which political party he belongs to.....anyone and EVERYONE should be absolutely furious if a President bypasses the voice of the people in order to enact his own agenda.

Don't stand for this or we may as well crown a king.

Most Obama supporters do...but that doesn't make it go away.

It happened.

Seriously...how loud will the Dems get when the GOP takes office and undoes (by Executive Order) EVERYTHING Obama put in place (by Executive Order)?

They'll be shouting from the roof tops how the new President is ignoring the Constitution by ignoring Congress.

I don't care which party the President represents...he is sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States....NOT the plan of his political party.

If it would upset you if a Republican did it....it should upset you if a Democrat does it.

Hardly a rant....and never claimed to be "original".

It's hard to be "original" when over half of the population agree...and it's not like any of this is a secret.

It's all been done right under our nose.

You can read an article entitled "30 reasons that wheels are round"....and if all 30 reasons are true, it's hard to argue the article.

Feel free to deconstruct any part of it that you find to be untrue.

The knock over all the pieces

Take a crap in the middle of the board...and then strut around like they won.

That's what all plagiarists say who cut and paste the work of others, then don't give attribution to the original source.

 
oooooo...so you've polled ALL the plagiarists??

Don't tell the professor!!

...still waiting for the deconstruction :tumbleweed:

Well, actually, if you don't cite a source, you are presenting it as original thoughts. In my world of academia, directly quoting another source is plagiarism, and it's a sure-fire way to lose credibility.
