Hours after the last U.S. troops left Iraq, it now appears that the county may erupt in civil war, with the Shiites and the Sunnis being the chief rivals.
COMMENTS:
Iran has been poking at the Sunnis for months, riling them
up to prepare for this. Look for Iran to
now enter the military theater and for all we accomplished there to be
lost. I don’t see Obama admitting he was
wrong and going to Iraq’s rescue, so we will have an Iran-Iraq war, with Syria
likely to get involved as well. The
Middle East tinderbox is now getting very hot.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. We are still almost a year away from the elections and
already the negative political ads are starting. I am so sick and tired of mudslinging. What can we do about it? (Crystal ~ Aberdeen, WA)
A. I agree. If a
candidate has no good attributes he can talk about, he shouldn’t be
running. As for me, I’m not voting for
anyone who uses negative ads and I intend to email them to tell them so. If I want negativity in my life, all I have
to do is turn on C-Span and watch Congress.
Q. Obama was really putting on the muscle regarding the
payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits.
Why didn’t he do this a month ago?
(Chet ~ Susanville, CA)
A. Because he wanted to make the Republicans look bad. That’s why the Senate turned down the House
proposal and wouldn’t even let Senators vote on it. Then, the Senate passed a bill that they knew
the House could not agree to, and
they left town, thereby putting the icing on the political cake. That’s dirty, rotten Chicago-style
politics; I hope you don’t want four
more years of it. And, as I predicted
here a few days ago, the Republicans caved in again. I keep saying they should make it official
and become the Democratic Republican Party.
Q. Do you think Ron Paul or Donald Trump or someone else
might run as a third party candidate?
(Lynn ~ Twin Falls, ID)
A. It is certainly possible, but would virtually assure
Obama’s reelection. If anyone pulls this
stunt, they should be hung by their toenails over a vat of boiling oil.
