FR, there is so much stuff going on in the world I don't think anybody knows
where to start a debate on which debacle.

Maybe they finally figured out that arguing politics on a fishing board is about as productive as trying to Bail out the Titanic with a soup spoon.

Hate to disapppoint TDF, but I enjoy the jousting, just been busy. Our entire state department is a laughing stock, no idea where to begin. Obama called ISIS the "JV" a few years ago (that idiot can't get one right by accident), Louis Lerner sent emails declaring that she hated Republicans, yet no special investigator.

The dems will take a thumpin' in November. GOP keep sthe house, takes a few Senate seats, maybe not quite enough to take control.

Obanma and Hilary starting to trade jabs over 2016 (Obama said Biden would make a great president, what a joke, and Hoilary is criticizing Obama's foreign policy in Iraq from a few years ago, I guess she forgets that she was SecState at the time).

It's a joke. Our debt keeps growing, SS and Medicare have not been fixed, wages are way down.

And they better do a better job or we are going from one frying pan into another frying pan.

I am actually hoping that the Dems keep the Senate and 2016 brings a R into the Whitehouse. If all D or all R we are farked. A lesson passed on by a wise old timer: the two party system is a feature, not a bug.

And there in lies the problem, Jim. Since the apology tour and the wink to Putin ,there has been one debacle after another where each has been kicked down the road letting fate take it's hand rather than having a strategy ahead of time for how things would be handled.

In the case of Isis coming over the border, there should have been a plan in affect to handle the probable problem of terrorists coming over the border into Iraq after a withdrawal date was announced. If they were bombed at that point they could have been set back in the open and stalled at least before they captured our armor left behind, and they were able to take towns where they now use civilians as shields. Now it will end up a ground war where the only thing we can hope for is arming the Kurds properly to stem the tide.
There has been no strategic planning, just wait and see, then wait to see what happens. Great strategy, joke for sure.
