Peter,
I like the General more and more. Please, if you would, ask him whether he would like some A10s and a base in Turkey to fly them out of?

Hear, hear! Obama could redeem his horrendous decision of pulling out of Iraq by sending US troops to wipe these scum off, but he doesn’t. We need to put US troops back in Iraq to stabilze not only Iraq but the rest of the middle east.
