Do they know that the Middle East is being bombarded by Sunni/Shia hate satellite TV. I guess 800 ISIS could simply take over Irak's second city without any Sunni help (see link above..).. This morning we had Saudi Arabia warning against foreign (that is, Iranian and US) intervention in Irak. Guess that has nothing to do with them being Sunni's.. Go Cubs!
Yeah, Wolfowitz really said that. Others are saying Obama's failure to intervene in Syria is the cause of this all. Then we have those who state only the US has been in the position to intervene and thus bears the responsibility for this insurgency. After all, is there any country with a better reputation for even handedness among Arabs and Persians than the USA?
And then we have those who say we never should have left. To that point, Obama should never had let Malachi insist on trying US troops in Iraqi courts for any offenses committed as a precondition to US troops staying in country past Bush's agreed upon withdrawl date.
Watching these guys on TV is like having one's set permanently tuned to a movie loop playing "Dumb and Dumber".
