The Jihad savages known as IS, the Islamic State, or ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or etc. is on the outskirts of Baghdad with some 10,000 fighters. One big push and they're in. The U.S. Embassy has 200 troops by contrast. I guess all the rest are fighting a virus.
Some see a replay of Saigon. Remember that? I do, just. But there's a difference between that fiasco and the one that's right near and present on our doorstep:
“Our humiliation in Iraq, unless things change drastically, will be even deeper, because our president now is feckless,” writes Thomas Lifson. “One big difference: The Vietnamese Communist Party had no interest in exporting its fight with us to our homeland.”
If I was CIC I'd be apologizing to all the soldiers who died for, apparently, nothing at all in Iraq. And their families.
And that's the least of it. What a thought. That a band of Dark Age barbarian beheaders would humiliate, defeat and emasculate the United States.
Well done, hope and change Hive Mind.
Let's hope everyone gets out of the Green Zone before a Youtube "movie" kills them.
But maybe none of this will happen.
