We’ve seen and heard the hullabaloo about the rampaging ISIS and Obama’s weak response to that threat – all coming from the same group that got us into the Iraq war. Moreover Obama’s refusal to label ISIS “Islamic” was all the talk about weakness.
Well guess what? The loud mouths have moved on to more trumped up outrage – Hillary Clinton’s use of personal emails for State Department’s business.
We all know that ISIS is really AQI – Al Qaeda in Iraq – plus Saddam’s ex-military and ruling elite who were shoved aside by Al Malaki – Bush’s boy. Bush’s stupid mis-adventure in Iraq in 2003 wrought the civil strife embodied by ISIS.
We all know that Obama is right that America should not get involved in a civil war between Sunnis and Shiites, but will act when genocidal actions by a marauding set of thugs who hijacked Islam and claim some Caliphate, using 21st century tactics to hurl the lands they conquered back to the 7th century.
Today the only beheadings and burnings that ISIS is doing is to all those stchupidee Jihadis who came for their 72 virgins and want out now. The US-led air strikes have crippled ISIS’s ability to capture and keep lands and to operate in the open. Now they’re encouraging an Anbar-province and Faluja-style effort with tribal Sunnis fed up with these thugs to turn against them. You see while Al Qaeda has ambitions of global reach (the Twin Towers for example), ISIS is not a direct threat outside of the sand waste they’ve captured from the cowardly Shia militias and Al Maliki’s army. The Republicans are obviously un-schooled in the nuances of the Middle East dynamic.
Where is ISIS today? Getting ready to melt back into the shit-hole they came from as the Iraqi regular army and Sunni tribalists get ready for a spring offensive. And where are the Republican voices calling Obama weak? Stupid fodder-muckers!
