Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
We can’t disarm Iran. We need them to help Iraq take Tikrit away from ISISwhile we watch.Yes, Tikrit. Saddam Hussein’s birthplace. The town we conquered in 2003 and killed all the terrorists, then handed over to the Iraqi government after Saddam was dead.
We took it, we had it, we cleaned it terrorist-free. Obama pulled out the troops in 2011 and the terrorists took it back.
At least Johnson had a rationale for taking the hill to show the Vietnamese we could smash them, then giving it back to show we could be reasoned with. What’s Obama’s strategery?

On the one hand, using proxies to do your dirty work was always how smart emperors handled their foreign policies.
On the other hand, Obama is not smart.
“‘I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary, He knows exactly how smart he is…. He knows how perceptive he is. He knows what a good reader of people he is. And he knows that he has the ability — the extraordinary, uncanny ability — to take a thousand different perspectives, digest them and make sense out of them, and I think that he has never been challenged intellectually…. He’s been bored to death his whole life. He’s just too talented to do what ordinary people do.’” – Valerie Jarrett
Says an Iranian born, Chicago slumlord. She is to Barackus Obamanus what Alita Messenger is to Marky Mumbles.
