Persia Posted November 23, 2010 #1 Share Posted November 23, 2010 BAGHDAD – The Obama administration’s Iraq policy is in chaos. Seven months after Iraq’s national elections, the United States has publicly denied taking sides in the wrangling over who will be prime minister. Privately, however, the US is backing the incumbent, Nouri al-Maliki. http://www.welt.de/debatte/the-world-in-words/article11083877/Is-Obama-Losing-Iraq.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Privately, however, the US is backing the incumbent, Nouri al-Maliki. http://www.welt.de/debatte/the-world-in-words/article11083877/Is-Obama-Losing-Iraq.html I don't think he ever had an Iraq policy besides "Leave at a Run". When he discovered that you just can't really do that-- surrendering and running away actually has consequences his vast experience in geo-politics didn't know about-- then he's just foundered with no direction at all. Not unlike his "policy" regarding everything. Remember he was surprised by the difficulty shoving Obicare down our throats, too. Wouldn't you think radically messing with 17% of the economy would be pretty easy? The bare fact is that Obi is an idiot. His elite supporters just don't want to admit that. Better just to make fun of people who don't sound good-- Ws, Palins, etc. Edited November 23, 2010 by venqax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielost Posted November 23, 2010 #9 Share Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) this is the problem with sitting a pull out date in stone. your enemies know when your leaving and will wait until you are gone or on your way out, as they did in south korea. but everyone knew when we pulled combat troops out there would be civil war or near civil war in iraq anyways. as there will be in afghanistan too.
