It is now being reported that the Iraqi army, the one we spent over $20 BILLION USD training and equipping, is calling for immediate assistance from U.S. troops. It seems ISIS has sent 10,000 fighters into the area west of Baghdad. There are about 250,000 soldiers in the Iraqi army.
If President Obama caves he joins the ranks of the worst U.S. presidents ever. James MacGregor Burns observed of Richard Nixon, "How can one evaluate such an idiosyncratic president, so brilliant and so morally lacking?"
President Obama can avoid going down in history as Nixon II by showing the ethical fortitude to stand up to the war profiteers by REFUSING TO COMMIT GROUND TROOPS. Do not commit our our sons and daughters nor our tax dollars to further military action in another conflict we can't win.
