    Guys, this strike didn't lose Iraq to Iranian influence. It revealed we'd already lost Iraq to Iranian influence. We've had pretty terrible policy in Iraq for a decade now.

    Smart would have been taking him out in Syria.

    Smart would not having the Iraqi PM feel he was lied to by chosen one.

    And it's certainly not smart for chosen one to be threatening Iraq with "very big sanctions" it they exercise their sovereign right to ask us to withdraw our troops...foreign policy by tantrum is childish and not very smart

    it's almost like electing a racist, sexual abusing reality tv host with no experience of any real success is turning out to be a horrible idea for the world

    who could have predicted this

    makes sense

    it makes their argument of "gov't doesn't work" a self fulfilling prophecy

    when their goal once they are in gov't is to make sure it doesn't work

    I completely agree. Just saying had we played things smart we'd have had Iraq's government lauding the strike. Instead they're siding with Iran who has worked tirelessly building influence.

    Fortunately for us the Iranians tend to be pretty heavy handed themselves.
