No, I don't overlook the second invasion of Iraq.The reason it didn't have the
desired effect was that we withdrew our troops way too early. There was a
fragile peace between Sunni and Shia, with a very young government.< We didn't
leave Germany or Japan after a a couple of years at the end of WW2. We are
still there today! <Everyone warned Obama of the consequences if he withdrew
American forces as he did. Those consequences are manifesting exactly as
predicted. Obama was against the war from the get go and he is determined that
we will* pay* for not listening to him by losing the victory. What better way
to do that than to say, "well, I'm fulfilling a campaign promise to end the
war." The victory was there, we failed to secure the peace. Now we all pay for
it. It's like going through two months of chemo therapy and not following up
with the rest of the treatment and the cancer comes back with a vengeance. You
go through the agony of the chemo for nothing.BTW, I'm not a cancer patient,
just have known a few.< There was a pay-off for deposing Saddam. First, the
NYTimes reported earlier this year that over 5,000 Chemical weapons shells and
bombs were recovered during the war. Most quietly bought up,by CIA from
individuals bringing them in for a reward or bounty. And there were troops that
were injured by them. It's nice knowing that ISIS doesn't have them. Secondly,
had we not invaded Iraq and deposed Saddam, do you honestly think he would not
be in a nuclear arms race with Iran at this very moment? The only thing that
could make the situation with Iran worse, is if there was a nuclear arms race
in the region.

The one detail I think Mike continually overlooks is that the invasion of
Iraq has had the exact opposite effect of what was intended, not to mention
that the regime in Iraq is now allied with Iran.
And part of the irony is that the effect it has had, is the effect that was
exactly predicted by George W. Bush and Norman Swarzkoph, which is why they
stopped the joint force incursion at the outskirts of Baghdad.

So, I take it you are *not* an Obama supporter? lol. I think he has done a
decent job overall, inheriting a crashed economy that is still struggling to
recover, and a destabilized globe. He also doesn't have any dirty little
secrets, and hasn't committed any big gaffes, which is refreshing. I know
people cite 'Benghazi' all the time, but compared to the sludge standards for
politicians in office, he comes off as clean. No new invasions would be a great
start for the next administration. Do you have a pick for the Republican
nomination?

Would you care to explain what launching ten times the drone strikes has
accomplished? Al Qaeda and ISIS is all over the middle- east and Africa now in
greater numbers than ever before, causing more war, terror and destruction than
ever. I just saw in The Daily Mail ,an article saying that ISIS promised a
refugee situation of 500,000 in which they would use to infiltrate their people
into Europe and the States. Mission accomplished! Many of these refugees are
not just Syrian but also Lybian, you know, the ones that were *upset* about an
internet video and killed the ambassador in Libya on 9/11, a few years ago
while Obama and Hillary were in a gun- running operation with Syria. Killed Ben
Laden, oh c'mon, the CIA had been on his trail for years, found him, and the
SEALS killed him. All Obama did was sign off on the op and take the credit. Had
he not, what do you think public reaction would have been when it was
discovered that he failed to do so? Bill Clinton took an enormous amount of
heat for not taking Ben Laden after Sudan offered him up after the bombings in
Kenya and Tanzania long before 9/11. Instead of playing golf? Please! That's
all he does! Obama disarms Europe of a missile defense shield, Putin invades
Georgia and Ukraine and is building bases in Syria while selling missile
defense systems to Iran so they can't be attacked while building their nuclear
war heads and Intercontinental missile systems. Putin has absolutely no
respect or fear of Obama or his *power*. Nice re-set eh?Meanwhile, China seizes
islands from the Philippines and Vietnam. Yeah, we are a poorer nation, 1
trillion dollar deficits every year since he has been in office and nothing to
show for it. The highest deficit Bush ran was 500 billion once, the others
averaging about 250 billion or less a year, prior to the 1 time bail out of 700
billion. Obama has taken our national debt from less than 12 trillion to over
18 trillion. One president increasing the national debt by over 50% over all
presidents before him.... combined! Reagan left office with the strongest
economy in the world, at the time, and the most powerful military ever seen,
peace and the Soviet Union disintegrating, communism retreating, and the Berlin
wall and Iron curtain about to collapse. Obama will leave the world stage on
the verge of Armageddon, if it doesn't happen before then.

Obama has launched ten times as many drone strikes as his predecessor did. He
also found and killed Bin Laden, instead of playing golf. This story that he is
a wimp has no basis. Reagan sold arms to our enemy, Iran, while lying to us
about not negotiating with terrorists. There's your wimp, and hypocrite. I
would be OK with another leader who didn't think starting a war was the only
way to show US might. We are a poorer and less safe country due to the actions
of the Bush clan, and I don't want anyone like that (or Reagan) in office
again. Trump has zero chance, btw.

I'm not sure he's the guy but we certainly need a tough negotiator after 8
years of a wuss bowing and scraping and begging the world to forgive us. We've
seen how that works. As I remember, Democrats almost guaranteed that Reagan
would start WW3 but ended up with a nuclear treaty that reduced the threat and
brought about the demise of the USSR. He also saw the release of the hostages
in Iran. If you'll recall he told Iran that the moment he took office, it would
be like day 1 of the hostage situation all over again. They didn't want to FWH.

Trump has started a firestorm this time by insulting Carly Fiorina's face.
IMO, if he's in the White House, he'll only cause riots and wars for the
country. As we have discussed about his jyotish chart, this tendency is due to
the conjunction of Rahu and the Sun in the 10th house. Is this what Americans
want?
