You couldn't afford to stay. You literally could not afford it.No, the question you should be asking yourself is why are you and most other conservatives so consistently wrong on the issues, including conservative advocacy that American ground forces be sent to the ME to fight the self-proclaimed 'Islamic state.'Since ISIS has a history of conducting mass executions of captured enemy soldiers, Candy...I can understand the reluctance of Iraqis to stand and fight against them.
The question you should be asking yourself is at what point do WE stand and fight against them? When they take the entire Middle East?
War-mongering conservatives were wrong in their advocacy of invading Iraq in 2003 just as they're wrong today in their advocacy of sending Americans to once again fight and die needlessly in Iraq.
If there's going to be any hope for long-term stability and peace in Iraq the Iraqi government and people alone must find their way to stability and peace absent unwarranted interference from the United States.
The fact you and most others on the war-mongering right fail to realize is that the self-proclaimed 'Islamic state' would prefer nothing more than the United States to send conventional military forces to the Region – making it easier to kill American soldiers, capture them for reasons of propaganda and exploitation, and justify the movement's legitimacy in the Muslim world that Americans and the West are 'hostile invaders' seeking to 'subjugate' the people of the Middle East.
Fortunately the president and American people reject conservative advocacy of sending Americans to again fight and die in a failed, pointless war.
Against the advice of both his military and his State Department, Barack Obama pulled out all US ground troops from Iraq. What's happening now is a direct result of that poor decision.
You're broke, sir. The only thing that keeps your economy sputtering along is the 5 trillion injected by the Fed, and hundreds of billions in new bonds issued year after year. Once that bubble bursts, the game is over.
