Obama, Hagel, Dempsey are right, and EC is wrong.

UN convoy hit by explosion in Baghdad - Irish SunAccording to astatement from the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), no UN personnel were killed or injured in the incident and all proceeded safely back to the UN Compound. One of the vehicles sustained serious damage.
"The unfortunate incident this morning will not deter the UN from continuing its work in support of Iraq and its people, who have lived with violence for too long," UNAMI chief Nickolay Mladenov said.
He commended the UN security teams whose "professionalism has ensured that no staff member was injured or killed today" and said that he looked forward to working together with the Government of Iraq in ensuring that the perpetrators of this attack are brought to justice.
She's a pathological liar. A textbook case.
President DumbFuck inserts a POISON PILL. He requires that the Iraqi Legislature had to approve the agreement. Well a) that's difficult for a western legis but especially for one as messy as this one but b) that has never been a requirement in any of the 40 other SOFA agreements we have with other nations.
So please folks, anyone interested in dealing in truth, please help override the corrupt press and WH and get the actual truth out to the public.
Ok, every news organization in the world is ignoring this massive story. Your analysis and logic is poor at best.
Yeah right.I don't lie.
If he wanted to control things in Iraq he would not have cut and run, but he had to appease the far left base before an election
So Jakey and NotFooled, do you know what Route Irish is?

I'll let you read up and figure out why you continue to be wrong about Obama's strategy in Iraq.
There is no link. EC made a lame attempt to attack US strategy of degrading ISIS with air strikes and retraining and equipping Iraq, Peshmerga and FSA forces as ground troops instead of a strategy of sending in US forces as ground troops.So Jakey and NotFooled, do you know what Route Irish is?

EC, provide a link that Route Irish was captured.
Or shut up.
the vehicles instead passed by palm trees, manicured lawns and a fountain
Dempsey is a senile person. You have no chance with such a soldier, retire him.
Now. Idiot. Back to topic. How can you NOT know Irish was taken by ISIS if you know the first thing about Iraq?
If you had been to Iraq, you'd be VERY aware of what Irish is. You'd know that losing it to ISIS is significant.
the vehicles instead passed by palm trees, manicured lawns and a fountain
Perhaps EC saw a photo of the palm trees and mistook them for IS terrorists. We can understand how it looks like they 'captured' Route Irish.
Then a member of her bash the General team diagnoses Dempsey being senile based on EC's hallucination.

How could we all 'not know' that critical Route Irish was not only 'captured' by ISIS it was "taken" by ISIS.
EC 10184722Now. Idiot. Back to topic. How can you NOT know Irish was taken by ISIS if you know the first thing about Iraq?
Where did Mineva go? Shouldn't General Dempsey get an apology? Will Mineva ever be suckered by EC again?
And not only was Route Irish 'captured' by ISIS and 'taken' by ISIS we were told by EC that "losing it to ISIS is significant"

She's right about one general observation. 'Losing it' is significant, as her losing it in this thread proves.
The lesson here, if you're going to be an over the top arrogant bitch about the threads you post, you might want to be sure you're right about what you're claiming.
Here's the opening paragraph from a NY Times story dated yesterday:
BAGHDAD — When the Turkish prime minister’s motorcade made its way along the airport road on Thursday morning to Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone, once a terrifying journey with the constant threat of snipers and car bombs, the vehicles instead passed by palm trees, manicured lawns and a fountain — the landscaping work of a Turkish company.
...case closed.

Nothing on the airport rd, known when US forces were using it as Route Irish, was captured. Not a single check point or section of the route was overrun and held. Not for one minute. There wasn't even an attempt made to capture a section. Some suicide car bomb attacks were used with failure. Iraqi forces were able to blunt the attacks, one at a security check point and one made on a UN convoy. No ISIS ground troops were involved, hence, there was not even an attempt of a capture of any section of the road made. But hey, maybe EC has a link we haven't seen and maybe the media is keeping it away from us and she is giving us some of her top secret classified information.
