quote: ORIGINAL: Sanity quote: ORIGINAL: cloudboy (1) How many troops and how much money should the US spend fighting ISIS? What's the total cost you want US Tax Payers to pay? $500 Billion? (2) While we're fighting ISIS, how much money do you want the US government to spend deporting potential immigrants? Do you want the current budget doubled to $40 Billion Dollars a year? How will items (1) and (2) affect US economic growth? Since when were "liberals" concerned primarily about cost, when it came to resolving humanitarian crisis or stemming the tide of barbaric religious fanatics' crusades against science, and women, and gays etc (I smell a hypocrite) So, there's absolutely no thought or realism to anything you're saying -- you're just mad as hell -- without any semblance of a plan or solution. Nice job. FYI: this makes you an empty read.

I love the way leftists declare something like Iraq to be illegal and then expect everyone to accept that as fact. Bush had Congressional approval. That means it was legal.

BS, simply an attempt at obfuscating the actual issue, which is Islamist fanatics and our current presidents negligence regarding the problem

She put herself in a country where women have no rights, no one in their right mind voluntarily goes to a place like that.. ffs, even some men in the military would rather desert than go there! But it wasnt the former IS leader that killed her, it was a Jordanian bomb that ended her life.. The former IS leader forced her to be his concubine but there are millions of women and children around the world (some are smuggled into the US and forced to service American men) that are kidnapped, forced into sexual slavery, where is the outrage and help for them? There were 3 other women held with her and in the same situation as her, but no one mentions them cuz i guess they arent American so they dont matter?

FR Requirements of the US Constitution of Congress voting to declare war on Iraq had been met. By US law, the invasion was legal. Foreign intelligence is never an exact science and can never be taken at face value. Sources must be verified. Motives must be questioned. The Bush Administration being provided faulty intelligence is absolutely worthy of investigation, if for no other reason than to prevent our leadership from being mislead in future tensions. That said, everything we knew about Saddam Hussein lead us to believe that he had chemical weapons. He had already demonstrated this by using these weapons against his own people, which is ultimately the reason he was sentenced to hanging by an Iraqi court. What we see now is a civil war, which the Iraqi government is not prepared nor equipped to put down. I don't doubt that ISIS would have existed if Saddam remained in power today, the only difference being they would be called 'police' or 'Iraqi Army'.

And Obama pulling out early (again with Congressional approval) certainly didn't help things.

We all knew going in that we could not stay in Iraq forever. The costs for the US have been entirely too high, both in lives and expenses. It absolutely cannot be up to the US alone to guarantee that democracy prevails in Iraq.

He knew what their fate would be and he did nothing

I have always said that when we go in to help someone, and by that time this is what we were doing, we need to have their troops do most of the ground fighting. This is for two reasons A They have more of a stake in their country because they earned it. B They are more capable of doing the fighting for themselves. The job isn't done till they can defend themselves. This is not just a weakness in Obama, it has been a problem with how we do things since WW II.

I would have no problem with a permanent US military base in Iraq. In fact, it's likely necessary, considering the stability issues all over the region.
