It looks like the media is going to help them set that up as the major security issue for 2014, too.
I don't think either the GOP or the media has thought this through. I doubt if the American public is ready to go back into Iraq.

(30,058 posts)Are throwing down their weapons and running. There has to be a desire for the Iraqi to stand up for themselves. The GOP president got us into Iraq based on lies so if they want to admit the most stupid move made was by their party candidate then all should step up to the plate and assume their decisions was wrong. The GOP voted down action in Syria and now blames Obama for not going in after they said no.

I'd like to think after last time, they'd be like, "Been there. Done that. No WMD. No thank you."

It's all very logical if you have the misfortune of sitting in a Starbucks, as I did yesterday, listening to the Tealiban repubs explain the logic for why Benghazi is not in the news this past few days.

(89,182 posts)even if this group had no relation to what is going on in iraq it would still work for the same reason it did 10+ years ago. the media will go along with it and claim the terrorists who end up being from some other place than iraq and had never been to iraq were able to attack us because we did not stay in iraq.
