Iraq: There Was A Solution

The World today is parlously endangered. Barack Obama is President, and most likely will continue to be for another two and one-half years. In our time -- that is a long time. Add an incompetent, unqualified, and pathologically stupid State Department and National Security team, one should conclude that the world would remain in tumult.

As I wrote on this Blog since 2007, aka I told you so, Iraq is an artificial State. To believe that Kurds, Sunni, and Shi’a can live peacefully together contradicts realty. The solution to the Iraqi civil war is to construct a new compact. That new compact will be the partition of Iraq into three distinct States.

Where It’s At: Perspective for Memorial Day

It’s a broken record – still the vacuous denizens in the State Department and our National Security team will never listen to it. There are options – there are solutions. It doesn’t have to be this way, unless your intent is to destroy the United States and World Order. That begs the question, who has been educating these people, at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Georgetown, Columbia, Dartmouth, and Denver University?

In my view, America has had enough. We have had it with Mr. Obama’s and Mrs. Clinton's and Mr. Kerry’s deceitful, pathetic, apologetic, naïve, and schizophrenic foreign policy. And, we had it with Mr. Bush’s and Ms. Rice’s foolish naive foreign policy, and mismanaged military campaigns restricted by absurd rules of engagement. If you go to war – you go to war. Moreover, trying to build a nation while conducting a war is a fool's errand. 

Not one more American needs to die to implement the failed policies of incompetent leadership.
