"He's tanned. He's rested. He's ready. Dick Cheney for PRESIDENT."
Obama has certainly screwed the pooch here.
But this is nothing more than the pot calling the kettle black here.

The message may have merit but the messager should have been shot long ago.
#Notmuchcredibility from the Salem precinct.
What Nixon has to say about honesty...
What Clinton has to say about fidelity...
The worst kind of fucking fat, incompetent, narcissist and his rug licking spore, neither of which give a fuck about this country or especially our fighting men and women, beyond how they can be enriched by their exploitation.
When will that fucking fake heart stop?
Would ISIS be mocking the US President on The Twitter?
Would ISIS have invaded Iraq?
Correct me if wrong, but the violence had subsided in Iraq when Obama pulled the troops.
20k troops would have been a deterrence.
I am not sure how the last two sentences support one another but it comes down to as an American I care about any given American more than every single Iraqi. I don't want to have soldiers die to try and build democracy in Iraq. The lines on the map are arbitary anyways and frankly I like the idea of a Kurdistan. Let them solve their problems by themselves and when they are civilized enough to interact with we can trade with them.

May the best Muslim win.
I don't disagree that Cheney making the comments will get many to not pay attention to them. However, if you throw the article out there without paying attention to the author(s), you start thinking, yep, this makes sense.
The reality is that while I don't disagree that you do let a lot of what happens in that region play out on its own, you also have to have a presence and make sure that the focus of terrorists, and those that support them, are focused on the troops that are on the ground there instead of unarmed Americans across the world and in particular on our own soil. It's as if too many forget about 9/11 and the lessons that we SHOULD have learned from that.
I also don't disagree that any American life lost on the ground is a tragedy. But if you're asking me whether I'd rather have trained soldiers that are trained to protect and fight these people or general civilians be the victims, soldiers are paid to take said risks and it's the job that they sign up for.
