Lindsey Graham, R-SC, advocates for US airstrikes to stop ISIS advance in Iraq

[dixiegrrrrl]

" 'without some kind of intervention, Baghdad will fall'"
from breaking News 10 min. ago.

Place your bets, ladie and gents...
how soon until we have boots on the ground or planes in the air for Iraq, Part 3 ?

[global1]

1. Bottom Line BushCo Really Screwed Things Up.....

Saddam might not have been a nice person - but he ruled Iraq with an iron fist and if he still were in control today - this would not be happening.

All for oil..... this is sad.

I just hope that the President doesn't take the bait.

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. Given our exist had a mutual aid defense clause

In there... Soon

Mind you DOD and the WH have no stomach but...

[Cali_Democrat]

3. The clause is specific to other nations attacking Iraq

This isn't another nation invading Iraq, it's pretty much a civil war.

You need to read up on the agreement.

4. THe usual tag team continues their warmongering

Fuck both of them

[TwilightGardener]

5. Who didn't see this coming from the Wonder Twins of Foreign Policy Fail?

[dixiegrrrrl]

6. bomb a country to bits,

destabilize the government, destroy the necessary infrastructure like roads, water, hospitals, power, and then leave. Count to 10 and act surprised when a bunch of guys, using OUR discarded weapons, start fights for power.
Iraq, Afghanistan, even part of Pakistan.....the beat goes on.

7. Team Graham/McCain are at it again

[dixiegrrrrl]

8. oh, and get this..Grampy has a plan:

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., calls on President Obama to fire national security team, Joint Chiefs chairman and bring back David Petraeus and Ryan Crocker to save Iraq.

Brealing News reports.

Man, I bet poor Gramps misses Petraeus. they had such like minds.
The ONLY thing McCain has been consistent about is war.

9. Unfortunatley I think this is likely to happen if things continue to deteriorate there.

There is no way the US and allies will let Baghdad fall or oil fields taken. For sure the President doesnt want to do it but he may have no choice.

[dixiegrrrrl]

12. " but he may have no choice."

Because when it comes to what the people here want vs. what the oilgarchies want...
well, we all know how that works.

[DCBob]

13. I think if things keep getting uglier there in Iraq most "people here" will want to do something.

Letting Iraq become a radical Islamist state scares alot of people.

[joeybee12]

10. If there's even a remote possibility of causing some death and bloodshed...

Lindsey is always first in line, the scumbucket.

[bigtree]

11. this is an Iraqi political problem - Iraq has more than enough troops and weapons

. . . what they don't have is a government prepared to do what it takes to accommodate their Sunni minority. Half of their army is Sunni and they've refused to fight the Sunni ISIS rebels.

14. He also said the next 9/11 is being planned

Is he planning it?

9/11 had nothing to do with Iraq. He is deliberately lying.

[roamer65]

15. So Lindsay is siding with the Iranians?

Maliki's govt is an Iranian proxy, so he's siding with Iran.

Riyadh will NOT like hearing it.
