The New York Times: Reports from the Iraq and Syrian border, “ More than 40 Syrian soldiers who had sought temporary safety in Iraq from rebel fighters along the border were killed on Monday .. ”.
Lets Get Real:
Thus folks if the US had still been in Iraq it could have secured the border between Iraq and Syria, and prevented a chance of a regional war developing due to the spill over of the Syrian Civil War. This shows why allowing VP Biden to run Iraq policy was a disaster for the long term interests of the US. The Oval should have two words on its mind, President Carter, at the end of the day the historical legacy of the Carter Administration was the invasion of Afghanistan by the USSR and the US hostages held in Iran. The US voter at the end of the day wants a strong President, lets recall LBJ gave the US the Great Society, but the two words that come to mind in connection with LBJ is the Vietnam War, thus the election of Nixon in 1968 and Reagan after Carter in 1980. The Democrats should be worried about 2014 Mid Terms and the 2016 Presidential Election, will the US voter really want a leader who leads from behind, one has doubts folks, history has a way of biting you on the behind if you allow your arrogance to get out of hand, who would have taken a Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing, oh yes the Obama Oval.
