Gulf War III ???

President Obama is caught between a rock and a hard place -- no pun intended. He's catching hell from the right for withdrawing troops from Iraq when a status of forces agreement could not be reached with neo-dictator Maliki. And he's sure to catch even more fire from the left if he sends troops in now to quell the ISIS crisis.

Looks like the dreaded drone strikes may be the only viable option. What was that Rumsfeld said about a quagmire? Seems so long ago ...

Reuters details the current lose-lose proposition:

"The Bush administration actually believed we could export democracy to the Middle East. Bush announced the 'Bush Doctrine' in 2005, in his second Inaugural Address. 'The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands,' Bush declared. 'So it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world.'

We've seen this failed experiment before (Vietnam?), and yet we seem doomed to lather, rinse, repeat. The Neocons accuse Obama of running and retreating in Iraq. How easy it is for them to toss our young service men and women into these meat grinders, then scream "quitter!" when the Democrats have to dig them out.
