I will not discuss our lost treasure today. My outrage is directed to both the pResident and Congress for betraying our sons and daughters for their sacrifice in a war fought over nothing. It was not fought for our national security.
The end result is shown below as a victory for Iran. This is another example of the flawed logic that the enemy of our enemy is our friend.
Iraq is now lost. To war between Shi’ite and Sunni. Bring our soldiers home. Learn. And tell Congress to defund building the Iranian Revolutionary Gurards. I doubt they will listen.

Obama’s 2015 gift for Israel and Mid East: Funding for a new Iraqi army – dominated by Iran’s Rev Guards
President Barack Obama’s New Year gift to Israel and the Middle East is a multibillion fund for establishing an Iraqi army as a division of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). Wednesday, the last day of 2014, two defense ministers, Iran’s Brig. Gen. Hossein Dehqani and Iraq’s Khallid al-Obeidi, signed a pact whereby Iran i.e. the Revolutionary Guards, will “continue to train new Iraqi military units” for replacing the army that crumbled under the onslaught launched by the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant since last June.
“We do not see any other option than cooperation and being on the same side as Iran to uproot the terrorists,” said the Iraqi general.
But he carefully avoided mentioning the 1,850 US soldiers posted to Baghdad, Kurdistan’s Irbil and the Al Asad air base in the western province of Anbar, or the 1,300 addition American combat troops, including paratroops of the elite 82nd Airborne Division’s 3rd Brigade Combat Team.
The 3,150 US troops currently serving in Iraq are therefore sharing the task of rebuilding Iraqi military units with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards!
The disservice to our veterans overseas and at home is akin to the disservice we are showing our civil police as well. There is a large segment of the “patriot” crowd who may as well be formally aligned with the left and maybe they are anyway. It is well known the NYPD demonstrations are being organized and led by visible leftist agitators. The 3% or “patriot” community needs to think real hard about who they are supporting.
