    The GAO reports that President Obama has attended only 42% of his daily intelligence briefings since assuming office. How does he know his intelligence people didn't keep on top of things when he himself was not informed.

    Iran was a democracy, but the government was overthrown (with the aid of the CIA) and a dictator installed, what happened in 1979 was blowback.

    I cannot understand why when some government is deeply involved with their home problems they come to the other side of the world to solve the problems in there!
    While criticizing our democracy, you'd better think about the overthrown of Mosadegh, done by your governments when we were trying to make our national democracy here.
    Your government is better to get back home to solve its problems inside, not with the money out of the region's oil!
    We are well satisfied with our selected government, even if some don't vote (me one of them) - far better than a foreign country bomber; making terrorist groups then bombarding them!
    Now what is your govt doing? Supporting the minor terrorists in Syria - as it was doing when ISIS was a minor. The foreign minister of Syria condemned the US supporting of the anti-govt groups in Syria. US claims to destroy Daesh by supporting minor Daeshs!
    Iran as an old friend of all countries in the neighborhood just comes to help when their govt asks. You can see the effect of Iranian support with the permission of local govts always.

    The progressive liberals will re-write Obama's history making him out to be the most brilliant of all presidents, w/true leadership skills, etc etc.... I can already see the barfy stuff written.....

    We aided " Rebels" who killed the guy with 100 spellings for his name. Dont act like we were not major players in that. Now there is a power vacuum in Libya.

    No we didnt "invade" Syria we aided and trained others to do it for us. Again the "Rebels".

    End result is the same . Power vacuum in Iraq and Libya and we are attempting to do the same in Syria.

    So except for the thousands of body bags, and costing about 3,000 times as much, Iraq and Libya were exactly the same......?

    There was one other difference, Iraq had a stable secular government that protected the rights of religious minorities.
    Libya was already engaged in a civil war, minor difference I know......
    And Ghaddafi had killed hundreds of Americans in terrorist attacks.....just saying...

    Libya was in a civil war with "Rebels" aided by us.. Same as Syria. The issue was creating vacuums where terrorists gain control was it not? So why the (*)(*)(*)(*) when it didnt work in one country would you try it in two others?

    Libya was in a civil war before we got there, and Ghaddafi was a terrorist who killed hundreds of Americans.....so what would be your suggestion?

    When did we "get there" Goober.... Do you think we had nothing to do with it right up to the first bombs being dropped? Come on now you are not that dense.

    I would hope that we were always trying to jiggle the table to get things to fall the way they fell, Ghaddafi needed to eat a hot lead sandwich, that's what has to happen to terrorists who kill hundreds of Americans.

    Then why did we wait so long to do it? And why not just use a drone strike instead of arming "Rebels" that turned out to be AQ.

    We want Assad gone as well and yet we are doing the same damn thing. Curious do you think another country has the right to take out our Leaders just because they want to?

    Bush apparently didn't hold a grudge against people like Ghaddafi or Bin Laden. Obama makes them dead.....

    lol yes, I'm sure most Americans simple didn't "like bin Laden." And you didn't seem to mind when Saddam died under Bush's admin.

    I think that if someone is a terrorist who is responsible for hundreds of American deaths, they should be killed, that is the bar, not mere dislike.

    No one ever pinned it on him and he sent us those he said were responsible for it. Now why would Obama decide to take someone out for something that happened decades earlier?

    Yeah, why would Obama be concerned with someone who killed hundreds of Americans, when it happened on Reagan's watch?

    Why didn't he ignore it, like Bush ignored the USS Cole, which after all, happened on Clinton's watch.......

    Maybe because the victims were Americans, and Obama is President of the United States? Just putting that out there....
