The ME box was opened 50 years ago and then some. Poppy's invasion was the recent catalyst. The end game is all out war. History will repeat. We're the only country to have used nukes and O'Nuke'em is hot to trot. If can't do it, he'll set up Trump or Hillary.

Maybe O'Bomber can be the first Pres. to withdraw and invade Iraq during the same Presidential tenure…. I certainly can't remember a more bizarre two faced president. He and his minions open their mouths and nothing comes out but lies. He's surpassed Billy is flat out volume of lies. He make Bush look bush league. +++++ Iraqi PM, Militias Reject Latest US Troop Deployments Shi'ite Militias Threaten to Fight US Ground Troops by Jason Ditz, December 01, 2015 Defense Secretary Ash Carter’s announcement of new deployments of US Special Forces into Iraq, despite coming with some talk of limiting operations inside Iraq to those done “at the invitation of” the Iraqi government, appears to have come without even mentioning it to the Iraqi government beforehand. Prime Minister Hayder Abadi warned that Iraq, as it has insisted repeatedly before, welcomes air support against ISIS but does not need any foreign ground troops, and warned the US to respect Iraqi sovereignty in the matter. That’s a relatively modest reaction compared to those of some of the more powerful Shi’ite militias involved in the war against ISIS, who say they intend to shift their fight to directly focus on US ground troops if these new deployments are carried out. Statements came from Qatib Hezbollah, Asaib Ahl al-Haq, and the Badr Brigade, all of whom noted that they distrust US intentions after the 2003 invasion and occupation of Iraq. The US at times fought various different militias during the occupation. How serious the Shi’ite militias’ threats are is unclear, as they’ve talked up going after US ground troops after previously announced deployments and so far haven’t, but it does reflect the continuing discomfort in Iraq, both among the government and its allies, for US escalation. The US has so far gotten away with these escalations by keeping them small, but even this new deployment is coming with officials talking up the idea that this is just the first of many new deployments into the region aimed at combat.

War Games AUTHOR TGP STAFF DATE November 25, 2015 COMMENTS: Leave a comment =By= JOHN D. RACHEL You don’t think Mr. Peace Prize Prez is playing a role in this provocative and extremely dangerous scenario? Right after the plane was shot down, Obama expressed no criticism of Turkey. Instead, he asserted that “Turkey, like every country, has a right to defend its territory and its airspace.” Ihave been saying for some time that the U.S. wants a war with Russia. Why? Because if it can cut Russia down to size, then the only country standing between America and total global domination is China. China and Russia have been cozying up lately. Together they are a formidable threat. Take out Russia, China becomes a manageable opponent. That’s how the theory goes. Let’s cut to recent events. Terrorist attack in Paris. Refugee crisis escalates in Europe. Russia is on the job offering serious opposition to ISIL. France and other European countries are finally talking about working cooperatively with Russia to defeat ISIS. French Prime Minister Hollande is scheduled to meet in the next few days with Putin to put their heads together and coordinate their military campaigns against the terrorists. Turkey blows a Russian fighter jet out of the sky. Its F-16s were laying in wait. Probably the Russian fighter never crossed into Turkish air space. Even if it did, it was even by Turkey’s own admission only allegedly in Turkish territory for 17 seconds. In any case, blam! . . . down goes the plane. IMMEDIATELY, Turkey turns to NATO — America’s proxy fighters — to obtain unanimous support and approval for its unquestionably reprehensible deed. Why? Because under the terms of the NATO agreement, if any nation belonging to the alliance is attacked, it is regarded as an attack on all members and they must then fight together as a unified force against the alleged aggressor. Are you seeing now how this works? Russia had without any reasonable or legal justification one of its planes shot down. Understandably, Putin has publicly announced that from this point forward, it will defend itself against any threat to its forces in Syria. It now has a missile cruiser in the area with the deadly S-300 air defense system, and is sending the even more effective S-400 air defense system to the Syrian base in Latakia. Voila! If Russia shoots back in defense under any real or perceived threat — like Turkish F-16s or Turkish ground defense locking Russian planes with target seeking radar — in theory all of NATO must oppose it. Total war! Merry Christmas Ashton Carter, Victoria Nuland, and all of the other loathsome, wicked, hate-filled, neocon warmongers in our government. Yeah, you get your big war, just like you wanted. You don’t think Mr. Peace Prize Prez is playing a role in this provocative and extremely dangerous scenario? Right after the plane was shot down, Obama expressed no criticism of Turkey. Instead, he asserted that “Turkey, like every country, has a right to defend its territory and its airspace.” Moreover, it is implausible that Turkey did this without either the knowledge or prompting of the U.S. government. Understand that Obama has been on board with the Pax Americana imperialist program of conquest for most of his presidency. If not, how can you justify his precipitating and lying about the crisis in Ukraine. How else can you interpret the buildup of troops right on Russia’s borders, a direct provocation and chest-beating flaunting of our military power? How else can you explain his unnecessary, counter-productive pivot to Asia, a publicly announced strategy for “containing” China? Now the holiday season is upon us. We’ll all be enjoying the cheer, the time together with family and friends, exchanging gifts, playing Trivial Pursuit, Monopoly, Risk, Scrabble, Candyland and Boggle. Just so you know, while you’re having all sorts of innocent fun, here we have the lethal game our crazed leadership is playing. But this particular game is not fun for the whole family. War games will mean fewer members of your family to enjoy the holiday season next year.
