5. Iraq is just SO yesterdays news -

didn't you get the memo?

Iraq will fade further and further out of news coverage just like afghanistan has, in the meantime our "war president" has to have a new evil bad guy to vanquish...

It looks like his advisors have realized that Iran is a country with a real military and we all know this "war president" likes his targets to be "softer" so they have decided to attack an easier target - Syria.
