| #5 The 2003 US Mission in Iraq against Saddam Hussein was: 1) A stable Iraq 2) Destroy terrorist networks in Iraq 3) Release innocent people held unlawfully. Since Obama took over, Iraq is being over run by daeshbags. |

| #3 The Iraqis got 9 times more ammo than the Kurds and the Peshmerga. And Helicopters and all kinds of weapons from Obama. How's that working out for you ME? |
