The situation over there is far worse than any of us seem to believe, judging on the posts I see here.
Look, I know this will be very unpopular, but it's the truth!
We, Canada ands the U.S. and allies, never should have went into Iraq in the first place. I'm not talking about their retarded attempt to scoff Kuwait, they had that one coming.
Why do you think the allies didn't simply drive unopposed, down the hiway of mass destruction, and take Iraq back then?
It would have been as easy as drawing a hot knife through butter.
George Senior understood that taking Saddam out would have lead to utter chaos. He knew that Saddam, as evil as he was - he was necessary. He also knew that the replacement would have been much, much worse!
If Saddam was still in the big boy's chair, Iran would not be creating a nuclear weapon program today. Saddam tried that, does anyone remember how that worked out for him? Yes, Israel sent Saddam a love letter, straight from the heart, and the nuclear facility simply disappeared.
If Iran attempted to build nuclear weapons, and Saddam was still in charge, their nuclear program would be rubble and glass laying on the desert floor.
There was no proxy wars going on between Syria - Lebanon, or Palestine today, like we see. I'm not suggesting there would be peace in those countries, or anything near it, but I am saying it would not be an Iranian proxy war. Iran trains, and weaponizes thousands and thousands of mercenaries and ships them to the countries who also hate Israel. It's going on right now, with zero intervention! America is not dumb enough to get involved in those wars. That would open up a gigantic can of hurt for all Americans and their allies.
Sometimes, you need to put the meanest, ugliest s.o.b. in the yard to keep everyone else humble. It's a sad reality brothers and sisters.
Compare the lives of the average Iraqi, including Christians, from before Saddam was taken out, and today.
Saddam did not care what religion his people were. Saddam was not a radical Islamist. Everyone respected everyone else...or else!
So, what will the almighty Obama do about it? Nothing. He'll keep sending in bombers when every time ISIS gets too close to Baghdad. Predator Drones will randomly wife out a few dozen of them, but ISIS is banking on the hope that Americans are sick of war, and they want their sons and daughters alive and home!
American is war weary. Who can blame them? Look at how they treat the veterans who come home either seriously damaged, physically, and mentally, but lots of them are homeless and American high office does nothing! Despicable!
Those men and women should be treated like royalty!
Here's how screwed up we westerners are - we worship actors who portray soldiers in movies - we gather in huge crowds to worship them - they actually are arrogant enough to think they deserve it.
They actually speak out publicly about political things that they truly haven't the slightest clue about.
Elvis was a complete goof, but whenever a reporter asked him about Vietnam, or any other political situation, Elvis would refuse to talk about any of that publicly.
Our "stars" today actually believe they know what's best for us all, and they get angry when we don't go along with some of their political ideas! Just shut yer cakehole, and entertain us - we worship you, what more do you want?
I love the Beatles music, but Lennon and McCartney are/were full of themselves! they believe the legend!
McCartney actually stopped in the middle of a song at a concert, so he could berate, and belittle a woman who paid 2,000 dollars to sit in the front row to see him. Her sin? She was wearing fur!
Look, your wife went on and on publicly about how people should stop eating meat, and buy her vegetarian cook books because vegetarian food fights cancer cells from even forming. How did that work out for her?
Sorry, I went on a bit of a tangent there. But my main point is, there is very little stomach within America for sending their sons and daughters to fight people who will NEVER stop brutally murdering anyone and every one who does not believe like they do. It's a sad reality, but I don't see any real action being taken by America. If America doesn't go in, no one does.
Strangely enough, Putin came out and stated that, the Islamists have killed enough Christians, and he threatened to get in there and destroy them if they continue. So, we have a faint hope that Russia may take action.
Alright, I've blabbered on long enough.
