    Aren't we just sending 50 Special Ops troops to train and support the Syrian rebels?

    Did I miss something else?

    I just assume that is simply the beginning.

    Yeah, that's pretty much how it always starts.

    I think we need to make some noise just to make sure BS is awake, LOL.

    Shhhh....can you hear it? That's what the lack of outrage on the return of ground forces sounds like.

    Ha. Wide awake. Wide awake to the fact how the AMT tends to let Obama off the hook for his military escapades.

    Edit: See how Gimme is advocating for me to send my Kid but not for the President to send Sasha or Malia.

    To be fair, I think Gimme would probably pose the same question to Obama, but as far as I know, Obama is not posting here.

    when have i ever let obama off the hook for his military escapades?

    i have bashed him at every turn on all of the following:
    use of drones
    escalating military force in africa and the middle east
    not closing gitmo
    blanket support for israel, which is in all actuality destabilizing the region

    you did not want our troops out of iraq. you said they should stay there. you tried to say that pulling out is obama's folly when it was george fucking bush who signed the status of forces agreement that tied obama's hands. you seem to relish in the fact that obama is putting boots back on the ground.

    malia and sasha are not your average, run of the mill, no-other-option-having-type of american that happens to find themselves in the military instead of the ivy league. you are out of your mind to think that there is even a remote possibility of the obama children going to a war zone. so since you want boots on the ground so bad, send your kid. i might even send them a care package.

    Of course. Isn't that pretty much how it always goes when the US can't stay out of the Middle East?

    More troops in Iraq? How could Obama possibly do this without a Status of Forces Agreement?

    It's not Obama. It's his advisers letting him know how fucked his past decisions have become.

    I'm also not the one who allowed Islamic jihadist groups to flourish under my watch.

    Huh? Obama's responsible? How? What would you of done differently.? If it's using American humans then take your ass over there and you pay for it. Very simple. Not that more Christians in Muslim land would be anything better than what's happened in recent past. Not our problem and we are subsidizing g western oil companies with our blood and money. It's idiotic.

    And take BS with you. He's also more than willing to send another countries humans to die and spending others money.
