    Never said the war was going well under Bush. Never said I supported the war. I said Obama surrendered - turning it all into waste.

    As for the "war," the war went just fine. Whether it should have been fought is a different topic and it was the post-war that sucked.

    Good grief, pick up a history book. It wasn't even that long ago. Your partisanship along with your blatant ignorance are amusing and scary at the same time. You're pathetic.

    How does one surrender in a war that was "won" when Bush did his "mission accomplished" speech? The war was a waste to begin with anyway, prolonging it decided how big a waste it was going to be. Also, perhaps it's better to have dictators in the middle east to keep the savages under control. In fact those dictators told us that the elements they were keeping down were worth keeping down. They've been proven right.

    I only fought under Bush. That was enough for me (along with every other piece of F up news) to decide the entire thing was a colossal failure and a gross misuse of military resources. Not to mention the friends I lost over there.

    That comment was intended as reply in a different context.

    I agree the war should never have been fought. But it was. Then question became "now what?" Obama's answer was to turn it over to ISIS. That was Obama's doing.

    Probably has a lot to do with their culture in general. Nobody likes a woman beater or pedophiles .

    Plus they blow up so fast when they get angry.

    Obama's answer was to train and arm the Iraqi military. Plus, what does it matter to us if ISIS takes Iraq, let Iran deal with them.

    It works so well that Obama now has sent thousands of troops and is bombing countries to try to at least slow the growth of worldwide growing Muslim terrorism.

    You don't understand the ideology nor their prophesy. That they will rebuilt the great Muslim empire and there will be a total world wide world war - in which Islam defeats the entire world. Their end times goal. They don't want peace with us. They want us to die. All of us. 100% except those who purely convert - as in perfectly. Total submission or die. That is their religion. That is their goal. This isn't a secret plan.

    That war has already begun, it is already being fought and has for years. They are calling for acts of terrorism against any and all non-Muslims all over the world. Actively pursuing the overthrow of all non-theocratic Muslim countries - violently overthrown. They are calling for all Americans to die - doing in in sermons in Mosques, no the Internet, on radio, on TV, on the Internet. They teach little children this in their schools.

    Not bothering them, leaving them alone... did that work? No. It lead to massive growth and dramatic increase in acts of terrorism around the world.

    Your's is a naive dangerous view. In Germany in the 30s if you were a Jew there you would be urging fellow Jews not to worry about the Nazis and if care not to antagonize them they won't bother you - while in every media way the Nazis were calling for destruction of the Jews - the way the destruction of all non-Muslims is being called for.

    Or have you not noticed that MANY of the terrorist bombs and attacks are in countries that NEVER involved in the M.E. or M.E. wars?

    Do you REALLY not understand the nature and history of murderous religious ideological when on a cultural level? They'll murder everyone such as their spiritual leaders tell them is the will of their God. Always been that way. Nothing new.

    And the Christian's end times goal is Israel being hated and the world against them then Jesus comes down. Muslims aren't unique when it comes to (*)(*)(*)(*)tarded and loony end times goals. The world needs to remove all Christians and Muslims from power to ensure that they won't lead the world to destruction. That will never happen, so I'm happy with Muslims killing each other in the middle east, close it off from the rest of the world and let them have at it. Don't give two (*)(*)(*)(*)s.

    We never should have removed Hussein in Iraq, Gaddafi in Libya or Mubarak in Egypt. Those tyrants hated radicals because radicals endangered them. The last two by Obama. Collectively this is snowballing now across the region. This is a level of ideological and genocidal fanaticism that dwarfs that of Hitler, and it is over a billion people strong with a population nearly 2 billion and going to double ever 10 years. And they want you converted or dead. A billion SS Nazis plus religious zealotry added to it - and you and I both are like the Jews to them. That's the reality.

    So true, they believe everything their government tells them. Yet, the government is supposedly the most corrupt in the world!

    http://www.juancole.com/2013/12/corrupt-country-world.html

    But, I have often heard, the American people are most friendly and helpful towards their visitors. I believe that to be true!

    That's a bit off the wall.
    I do agree, the Americans should have kept their noses out of those countries and allow them to develop their own cure, if felt necessary. Now the whole region is in uproar and chaos and the entire globe will never be the same anymore. The blame lies squarely at the feet of the US.

    Hate is spot on. We hate them. Care to speculate why?

    Actually Islam is uniquely the only religion pursuing causing the "end times." Many Christians believe this will happen but do not pursue making it happen.

    Explain how you will "close it off from the rest of the world." So you're for Trump's wall, but how does that close it off from the rest of the world?

    - - - Updated - - -

    The region has been in an uproar for a very long time. However, what has changed is that radical Islam is uniting and organizing outside of government circles in a worldwide organizing effort that is succeeding.

    Christians also push to the end times scenario, this can be seen in the encouragement of all Jews to be moved to Israel. Both sides want this showdown to happen to prove whose book is correct.

    Not at all for Trump nor his wall(which will likely never happen anyway). I mean not allowing Muslims in the middle east to leave and come to the west.

    Do you know that a single woman living anywhere in the wild west had two options alone, get married or become a whore. Why? Because any single woman was considered a whore on the spot and was likely to be raped the second anyone wasn't looking. That was in America in the 1800s not some far away land a thousand years ago. I hear you about the culture of the ME in regards to women but it is not true that women in Egypt or PK or Lebanon or Iran are being raped because of Islam, they are getting raped because some men are animals. That is true there as well as here.

    You reminded me of a guy I knew many years ago who was a refugee from South Africa's fascist apartheid regime. He spent years struggling to get asylum in the USA and was rebuffed by the government. Despite that, the people treated him very well. In speaking about the kindness shown by the American people, his eyes welled and he said he would never forget these kindnesses. He filed a legal petition and, after 7 years, the government finally granted him the legal asylum.

    By the way, it was I who wrote out the papers and, no, I did not charge him one cent even though he offered to pay me for it.
