Listen to the *community organizer*? Are you serious? He's already run off the best generals we had, Petraeus and McCrystal and giving pink slips to thousands of other commanders. It's going to take a new Commander in Chief to defeat ISIS and that's a year and a half away. Until then, the best he can do is harass ISIS.

We should listen to Obama tomorrow to find out if his plan to defeat ISIS is achievable. We cannot dwell of the past.

As I recall, there were several anti- Assad resistance groups, some *good* some *bad*. We didn't know which to support. Maybe Obama has been letting the world go- in- a- hand basket while cutting defense, letting the military industrial complex stock values decline in order to buy at a low price, knowing we would have to rev it up in the future and watch it's value increase. Buy low , sell high! There are boogeymen everywhere! On Tuesday, September 9, 2014 9:12 AM, "Bhairitu noozguru@...

Because greedy US businessmen wanted their hands on the recently revealed to the public rich resources in the Afghanistan (which was why Russians were there in the first place). Then the Mujahideen because Al-Qaeda and a new boogeyman to get the American people in a "war mood" and support spending heavily on defense which of course profited the military industrial complex. Then the US supported ISIS to help overthrow the Syrian government. Now they are the new boogeyman to drum up more defense spending. Best way to defeat ISIS was to not support them in the first place. On 09/08/2014 07:34 PM, jr_esq@... [FairfieldLife] wrote: > >It's the formation of a new government in Iraq, according to Kerry.
