Barack Obama Sends 250 More Troops To Iraq



Conservatives and general people-in-the-know can easily recall how the Left and their chosen electable puppet Barack Obama politicized the U.S. presence in Iraq in 2008, ignored all the good that was done there and demanded that we leave with the quickness. And that we did, as after Bush was pressured by liberal mobs and the mainstream press into signing off on a massive troop withdrawal (which Barry gets all the credit for) deal, a major part of Barry's legacy (as told by the Left, despite the facts) is him solely getting us out of Iraq. But fast forward to 2016, Iraq is back in horrible shape, ISIS has grown into a dominant terrorist organization and now we have over 4,000 troops back in the region. Funny that.

No, George W. Bush Did Not Lie Us Into War with Iraq



HotAir.com:
There is no small amount of irony in this argument coming up now. The Department of Defense and the intelligence community have active investigations looking into whether CENTCOM and other analysts have been cooking intelligence to make our anti-ISIS strategy look more successful than it truly is — and bury the threat of ISIS until it was too late. Warnings about cooked intel analyses went all the way to James Clapper, who apparently didn’t do much to correct the issue at the time. 
However, several investigations have made clear that this was not the case with Iraq. Bush didn’t lie; he relied on bad intelligence amplified by the heightened concern after 9/11. The Saddam-WMD intel preceded Bush’s term in office, and Democrats before and after 9/11 offered the same warnings about Saddam’s intentions and his preparations. And while WMD was not found in bulk quantities, some undeclared chemical weapons actually were found by US forces after the invasion, as well as records that made clear that Saddam would reconstitute his WMD capabilities after the US and UK finally left. 
On top of that, Saddam refused to comply with the terms of the 1991 cease-fire and 17 UN resolutions demanding his cooperation. 
All of this has been known for a decade. Only conspiracy theorists and manipulative demagogues continue to claim that “Bush lied us into war in Iraq.” Consider it a self-identifying behavior and choose accordingly.

South Carolina Voters Angered by Donald Trump's Claim that Bush Lied to Start Iraq War


WeeklyStandard.com:
Did Donald Trump damage his candidacy at Saturday night’s debate when he alleged that George W. Bush knowingly lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in order to launch the war? A few signs suggest the answer is yes.

On Monday, Rush Limbaugh lumped Trump in the same league as Michael Moore and Daily Kos bloggers for standing by his Iraq war conspiracy theory. Then on Tuesday, CNN released a poll that found Trump dropped 9 points after the debate—from 40 percent to 31 percent. On Tuesday night, every voter I spoke to at Trump's campaign event in Beaufort, South Carolina disapproved of Trump's comments. Their views ranged from genuine disgust to mere displeasure.

Dave Paxton from Hilton Head said he still doesn't know who he's voting for on Tuesday, but he is certain he won't be voting for Trump. Paxton said Trump's comment about George W. Bush "was horrible. I couldn't hardly watch after that. I mean, really, I was hoping they would not even ask him another question."

"I just think he made an ass of himself," Paxton added. "And then he kept interrupting."

On the ride over to Trump's event, Paxton said, his girlfriend and another friend who support Trump brought up the Iraq debate remark and both agreed that it was embarrassing. "I think it hurt him a lot. We'll see come Saturday," Paxton said.

"He just recently got crossed off my list," Michele Williams of Okatie, South Carolina said of Trump. Williams hadn't liked Trump's bullying behavior for some time, but it was "the debate that was the nail in the coffin."

"The thing about 'Bush lied'—that makes me question his conservatism. I don't trust him any more. I really don't. I don't respect him," said Williams, who has narrowed her choices down to Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and John Kasich. "Definitely voting in the primary, but I'm as confused as ever," she said about her vote.
Trump's running as Populist, but this attack on former President Bush not only made zero sense, but in a state where Jeb Bush brought out his big brother out to specifically campaign for him, why would you risk alienating South Carolina voters with unnecessary comments about Bush and Iraq? Then too, why would would go out of your way to diss Bush when you consider the facts about us going into Iraq? And when you consider that the far-Left loons who delight in stating that 'Bush Lied' us into Iraq aren't gonna vote for you anyway? And when you consider that Saddam Hussein was a really, really bad guy who needed to go. And when there are still so many people out there who maintain skepticism of how much a 'true conservative' you really are?

John Kerry: U.S. to Accept 85,000 Refugees in 2016, 100,000 in 2017


NBCNews.com:
The U.S. is offering new details about its plan to ease the Syrian refugee crisis by significantly increasing the number of worldwide refugees it will take in over the next two years. 

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says the U.S. will accept 85,000 refugees from around the world next year, up from 70,000, and the number will rise to 100,000 in 2017. 

Aides to Kerry say that many, though not all, of the additional refugees would be Syrian. 

The migrants would be referred by the United Nations, screened by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and resettled around America. 

Kerry made the announcement Sunday during a visit to Berlin after meeting with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier to discuss the mass migration of Syrians fleeing their civil war. 

Kerry's announcement came amid a growing call for the U.S. to do more to relief the escalating crisis. 

Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton said Sunday on CBS News' "Face the Nation" that as many as 65,000 Syrian refugees should be taken in.
