Iraq
Kerry calls for Iraqis to 'come together,' as militants seize more territory
2014-06-13
[FOXNEWS] The B.O. regime sent a message Friday to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki
... Prime Minister of Iraq and the secretary-general of the Islamic Dawa Party. Maliki imposed order on Basra wen the Shiites were going nuts, but has proven incapable of dealing with al-Qaeda's Sunni insurgency. Reelected to his third term in 2014...
 as Al Qaeda-inspired gunnies took control of more cities on their march to Storied Baghdad -- reportedly leaving a trail of decapitated government forces in their wake:

"Come together."

Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State...
 delivered the administration's message, putting the onus on the Maliki government to "put sectarian differences aside and to come together in unity to begin to be more representative and inclusive."

Republican politicians and military analysts are urging the administration to get more involved -- President B.O. appeared to open the door Thursday to the possibility of Arclight airstrikes, but no decision has been made. Kerry said Friday the U.S. has "discussed a range of options including military action to provide support for the Iraqi government." He predicted "timely decisions" from the president.

Meanwhile,
...back at the pie fight, Bella opened her mouth at precisely the wrong moment...
 the gunnies continue their march through northern cities and towns, toppling fragile security forces and threatening the capital city of Storied Baghdad.

Congressional Republicans say the Maliki government is far from blameless here, having stoked sectarian tensions by alienating the Sunni minority -- in turn fueling the insurgency -- but say U.S. intervention is needed.

#20  USA aid is 3% of Israel's budget.

Then refuse to accept the money dickhead. If your government weren't as big a bunch of pussies as ours, you would go in and do some hard core culling.

By now you should realize that world (meaning U.N.) consensus is worthless. We, and Europe, arent going to do shit. If you don't need the money, go in and kill the mother fuckers...wholesale..and tell the rest of the world to STFU.

The jews are on their own, even if Obama and the Left weren't such feckless assholes, I would still tell the jews to suck it up and do what you need to do. I personally do not give a rats ass if Israel survives or not, the jews have been persecuted over a significant period of history for a reason, maybe you should look at that.

Arabs, Islam, Jews, Judaism...delenda est. May all of you fucking perish...soon.

#19  Fine, but when you support and comment with glee on the return of Olde Soviet Tymes, I say: Nice try.

#18  g(r)om, take a pass on the attitude. Its not warranted or appreciated. Christians did not leave, they were exterminated. 3%, really? We are the only reason the Jewish state still exists. You dont have to like our president, but fuck you for your attitude. Kissing Arab ass is unacceptable around here. Most here have gone to too many funerals to hear you pissy assed ignorant bullshit!

#17  USA aid is 3% of Israel's budget. The estimates of the damage to Israel from America's bull in china shop thrashing in ME for the last 50 years, I'll leave to future historians.

#16  Thank you for effort and sacrifice g(r)om; but before go off on another 'hate America' rant, it might be instructive to keep in mind just who backed up your pay stub, provided the ammo and rations......just for the fok'n record.

Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II. To date, the United States has provided Israel $121 billion (current, or non-inflation-adjusted, dollars) in bilateral assistance. Almost all U.S. bilateral aid to Israel is in the form of military assistance, although in the past Israel also received significant economic assistance.

#8  Forget Maliki and his slimeballs. Forget the Champ and Kerry. The really sad news is, a lot of innocent people in Iraq are not going to live to see to tomorrow.

#5  Obama, Kerry, Hillary, and the rest remind me of kids at a school fight. You know these kids, standing at the back of the crowd, crying and screaming for it to stop. But unwilling to do anything but cry and yell.

#2  Kerry and most of the libs in the State Department refuse to acknowledge nice sounding speeches and platitudes and kind phone calls to panicked heads of state mean NOTHING if there is not the willingness to do something.

Problem is diplomacy should be a means to an end not an end unto itself. At some point, you have to get up from the table and say "I don't think we are getting anywhere, you aren't negotiating in good faith, my second will be contacting you about our next meeting" and walk out. AND be willing upon walking out to call the nearest general and tell him to remount, reload, be prepared to move.

The only reason we are not still negotiating in Viet Nam is because Le Dak To know that Nixon and Kissinger would bomb the north into the stone age and not blink an eye.

We are still negotiating in Korea because we were afraid of Russia (who had just shown off their first A-Bomb for vast PR purposes) and we did not have the resolve to bomb the North into a rock pile (though both China and Russia now thoroughly regret staring us down).

The only time the US has won a war is when we've shoved an Unconditional Surrender document of about one paragraph in front of someone and stuck a pistol to their head. Too bad the Dems don't read history.
