President Barack Obama ordered all remaining U.S. troops in Iraq to bug out in 2011. He then began using our taxpayer dollars to train, fund and arm radical Islamic rebels to overthrow the legitimate government in Syria because President Assad wouldn't play ball on plans to build a natural gas pipeline from the south through his country into Turkey. Those same Islamic rebels Obama funded with your tax dollars quickly spread into Iraq where they have now gained control of at least one-third of the country in an effort to establish an Islamic State of Iraq and Al Sham ("ISIS"). ISIS rebels now control many of the military vehicles and equipment American forces left behind. Tens of thousands are dead and even larger numbers are now refugees. So Obama has ordered bombing strikes on ISIS-controlled territories to prop up what remains of the fragmented, puppet regime the U.S. government installed following the U.S. invasion of Iraq to rid the country of non-existent weapons of mass destruction, and provide humanitarian assistance for the growing number of refugees. A day after launching renewed military involvement in Iraq, Obama is heading off to Martha's Vineyard for yet another two week vacation. Will the American people ever wake up to the fact that most international crises are of our own making?

I like the President. And I believe as a general rule its best to avoid criticizing his family vacations and quantifying their vacation costs. But we didn't send this President to Washington to play golf. And last night he ordered a bomb strike that reportedly killed hundreds of ISIS militants. So making his morning tee time on Martha's Vineyard does seem an odd choice. I worry about the growing Chinese navy. The militarized Russians invasion plans. The imploding middle east. Ebola spreading exponentially. Our local real estate market. Whether my nephew will get a real job after college. Whether I can afford my health care. I don't give a damn about whether Obama improves his golf game in the time he has left in Washington. And I really hated that he had so many murderous, homophobic African leaders in the white house the other day for a summit. It would have been a good opportunity to arrest them for their crimes instead of giving them a photo op with the President.
Would you feel better if he were going to Texas to cut back trees with George W Bush?
The Mega-Media of Cable Dis-Information is alive with this new found crisis in Iraq. It is so typical of the deliberate amnesia of these actors that present the "News" on TV. Somehow this New Crisis just manifests itself from nowhere, ISIS just appears as Brutal Reactionary Force. Accusations against Russia, by the Dis-Information Mega-Media round out the "News."
The past has been expunged. GWB and the Criminals that started this Iraqi War are not held to account for the immense damage they have inflicted.
Obama and his NEO-CONs destabilize and incite revolts in Syria and ISIS Emerges as it deadly spawn.
Now Obama can order Air Strikes. No Congressional approval needed.
Romney and more wanted war with Syria. The President took it to task and a vote. The CIA under Cheney and Bush, Rove and more are still at play around the world and always will be. Do more fact checking Gary before you write.
I've done my research. Obama works for the same people to whom Cheney and Bush report. Obama is a composite political creature created by the CIA to fool the American left into believing he was something he is not. The Bushes and Cheneys pull his chains while pretending that he is an arch enemy. Only people with their eyes wide shut believe there is a real difference between the people who pull the strings of the Republican and Democratic Parties. They're all working for the same team against the common interests of ordinary Americans.
Doj under Obama did more than Bush...Highways,College School loans, Banks, Common Core, Fraud and corruption exposed more under this Pres...Not with 9/11 contacts under DOJ of Bush...Wars bring contractors money..Ballard and more..Time to move on to the truth...Wait to write Gary...
So war crimes submitted by some countries against Bush and Cheney...did your report on this in '08..and witnessed those countries falling in stabillazition of their markets based on World Bank...Probably not..
