Groundhog Day War: Starting Over Is Hard to Do---President's Words Verses His Actions Over and Over

UPDATE: TRUMP OFFERS PRESIDENT LIFETIME OF FREE GOLF---IF HE RESIGNS RIGHT NOW!......IS THIS ALL REALLY ABOUT IRAN?

I COULD NOT AGREE MORE WITH SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN SPEAKING BELOW AFTER LAST NIGHT's SPEECH. The fact is that over the past four few years, we declared victory in Iraq and completely and naively pulled out with dire consequences.

Today, because we didn't leave a residual ground force there, and didn't keep our promises to help heavily arm the Kurds who are our greatest allies there, we are now back to ground zero---pun intended on 9/11---in Iraq and the Middle East. We have lost massive ground there and all the lives and money we invested count for almost nothing. McCain sums it up realistically as to how our feckless president has repeatedly ignored all the recommendations of his national security team over the years with the results we now confront in Iraq. Starting over---no matter what President Obama says----will be extremely costly and ultimately require boots on the ground, lots of special ops troops---as well as a strategic air campaign involving air sorties that hit and destroy multiple sites at once.

Our president has made a complete mess in the Middle East and lost all of our past investments of lives and taxpayers month there. Here's an executive summary of the POTUS speech seen this morning at Zero Hedge: 1) We'll be bombing Syria, a sovereign nation, 2) we'll be arming terrorist groups while fighting them at the same time, and 3)the economy is great. What can possibly go wrong? Let's hope and pray we can make some headway in gaining some ground back sooner rather than later.
