Are you really ready for another war in Iraq?

54. Depends on how much he can do with air strikes..

or the drones as to whether we send "boots on the ground" which neither our military nor Obama would seem to want to do.

A consequence of Obama not striking Syria and targeting Assad could be that it allowed the ISIL to move into Iraq where, in fact, it could be easier for us to rout them out and deplete their forces. Because of our "You Break it You Bought It" history in Iraq we have some wiggle room (justification?) for targeted air strikes on ISIL which gives time for the Kurdish forces to re-arm and join with what's left of the struggling Iraqi Army to be able to hold the area. That might be what the thinking is. But, it depends on how many ISIL forces are there or can come across the border to know if that could work and how long it would take. If we could reduce ISIL forces it would help both Syria (if we want Assad to stay in power) and maybe cool down the situation there for some diplomacy to take place.

We still have the PNAC Playbook going...though. So, who knows where this can go. And, if it can be contained.

The hypocrisy is that the MSM keeps crying "preventing Genocide!" about Iraq when, in fact, the Gazan Palestinian people are imprisoned in their tiny strip of land and who is coming to their aid? The Christians imprisoned on the Sinjar Mountain and the Gazans who are being devastated with their schools, power plant and hospitals bombed and their homes, families and businesses destroyed with little hope for the future and no way to evacuate from the drones and bombs have much in common--although the terrain is different and a bit of the circumstances...

One has to go into contortions to call one situation "Genocide" and the other NOT...if one believes in innocent people being protected from circumstances beyond their control being targeted for destruction by eliminating their freedom to come and go, travel unmolested by security checkpoints and papers and their basic human rights to medical care, schools, water, food and to financially support their families and safeguard the lives of their children.

What a mess everything is.......All of our meddling in countries we are bringing "Freedom and Democracy" to to ends up with us funding the worst kind of people and "Blow Back" on us for our hubris that believe that we can remake the world into our own image when in fact, behind the curtain, its mostly for profit of the Global Multinational Companies, Weapons Manufacturers and Financial Entities.
