They tried to in Iran, then Syria

Tried to get the US involved in war again.

They failed. So they went back to the last place where they did commit murder; Iraq.

Sad to see us getting drawn back into Iraq. It will not be good for anyone but the murdering types. Sad to see Obama giving in. He doesn't have to, but it sure looks like they are sucking him in. For so long he resisted, but now he's given up and will begin dropping bombs.

Cheney gets his way and there goes more of our taxes into more bombs. Sad isn't it?

murderers.

Clinton was even in on it with all the bombing he allowed back in the 90's.

It sure as heck isn't the peaceniks.

an internal pressure problem, IMO--but he is constantly under lots of media, foreign-policy crowd, and GOP pressure to "do something" about every problem that springs up, and gets blamed for everything regardless. But he's better at standing up to the pressure than he used to be, and doesn't overreact, and that makes his critics crazy.

And it is so easy to go back and do what we once did. Like the surge Obama caved into.

I bet they really are working on Michelle. I remember when she came out about Syria, Obama changed his tune about that red line. So if they can convince her to drop her guard about war in Iraq, we're back in, bigtime.

Sad to see, but they will get their war on.
