ISIS Takes Control of Mosul

[Rasputin_Vol]

Probably not, but the "blame Bush first" crowd is pretty myopic when it comes to the fact that Obama's hands are just as dirty.

Meh... I suppose you are right. IMO, I think both sides do a lot of that. The truth is that neither party has shown the ability to stabilize the Middle East, but in fact they have both succeeded in making the situation far worse.

Our entire foreign police in the ME needs to be re-evaluated and overhauled.

The repubs have never been or never will be for the MC. The income threshold to be considered MC is $100k which most likely eliminates most of us who post in this forum.
Guess that makes us a part of mitt's 47%, unless you have an elevator in your garage. :question:

:crazy:

:lolabove:
Caring about the working poor, the MC, seniors, and income disparity makes one a liberal I'm entirely comfortable with that. Things will never be equal but the playing field needs leveling. It's not class warfare it's about fairness.

 

[orangeluvr]

And what has your favorite Nobel Peace Prize Laureate done to make the situation in the ME better? Unrestricted drone warfare? Gun running through Libya? The rise of IS?

reagan and north ran the Iran-Contra scandal. The repubs have been historically wrong on every issue. :question:

How can you say? Compared to what?

You've made that idiotic claim before. Were the republicans wrong on the abolition of slavery, the post Civil War Amendments, civil rights legislation in the '60s?

Foe better or worse a republican created the national park service. A republican created the EPA. A republican got the US out of Vietnam, but not after democrats got over 50 thousand Americans killed.

Republicans are also right on the Fairness Doctrine, right to work laws, and late term abortion.

They're wrong on the issues that really matter.Right to work laws are right to pay low wage laws.So you righties on here are happy to vote for a party whose policies are sure to keep you in current economic station.
The gop has done a great job of politicizing moral issues and gun control as a diversion from the economic issues.
That ship has sailed , the gop base is dying off and more young voters are identifying themselves as indy or dems.
BTW, the repubs wrote and passed the first gun control legislation called the brady bill. Til next time stay blissfully ignorant and in denial. :crazy:

0bama admitted today that he still doesn't have a strategy to beat ISIS. #theworst

You just prefer that we all baa to Global Research, RT, Pravda, and Sputnik.

I've told you who to pay attention to: critics like Cohen and Matlock. Yet you keep on with this fringe academic, sometime quasi-xenophobic/racist bunch that the Kremlin funds.

Come on, dude. Get with it.

Remind me what motive either one, both corporately-owned, have to "lie" about ISIS?

Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (Pub.L. 103–159, 107 Stat. 1536, enacted November 30, 1993), often referred to as the Brady Act and commonly called the Brady Bill,[1][2] is an Act of the United States Congress that mandated federal background checks on firearm purchasers in the United States, and imposed a five-day waiting period on purchases, until the NICS system was implemented in 1998.

The original legislation was introduced into the House of Representatives by Representative Charles E. Schumer [3] in March 1991,[1] but was never brought to a vote. The bill was reintroduced by Rep. Schumer on February 22, 1993 and the final version was passed on November 11, 1993. It was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on November 30, 1993 and the law went into effect on February 28, 1994. The Act was named after James Brady, who was shot by John Hinckley, Jr. during an attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan on March 30, 1981.

I'll let you do the proper google search to find out which party controlled both houses of congress and the White House in 1993-94. Hint, the party's name rhymes with "jackass".

It's an act of kindness to call you "ignorant". A more proper descriptor of someone with your limited intellectual capacity is no longer considered politically correct to utter in public.

: It's not class warfare it's about fairness.

You must be a part of the under 30 new age pussified dumbed down America who were brought up to think you are "special" and that you are somehow deserving of more than you have earned.

Life is not fair.

Life is, and can be, extremely unfair.

Go to your local children's hospital and look for fair.

You sound like so many spoiled young Americans who have not a clue what the world is like because of your sheltered, pampered, catered to life. Your envy comes through in every post.

You are an angry, under achieving, average American, and your disdain for those that have what you covet is simple jealousy. You don't like your plight, make better choices, make sacrifices, and go get what you want instead of moaning about it.

I'm 38, graduated in 3 years with 2 degrees and then paid, in cash, from my hard work and sacrifices, for my MBA from a top 5 ranked graduate school. You know who helped me, no one. Who was it up to make my dreams come true....me. No one else. I owe it to great parents and a great upbringing that made me understand what it takes to work and make sacrifices to achieve. Maybe instead of bellyaching you should concentrate on your choices that have led you to where you are and why that has made you so glum.

0bama campaigned on bringing peace to the Middle East. He literally said that if he is elected, peace will breakout in the ME. Obviously that hasn't happened

not giving him a break but how many presidents get done what they say on the campaign trail?

It wasn't a campaign promise. He truly believed that just electing him would bring peace

ISIS is a creation of the west, for once be smart and open your eyes, Isis is the tool created by the west to fight the proxy wars that they need to control everything!

I kind of half agree with this? I think it was a result of failed states - due to the war in Iraq and western engineered Arab Spring - along with Obama's "Other People's Armies" approach.

I don't think ISIS was intentionally created, I think it was created because we incessantly try to control everything over there.
