i have to watch more fox. it gets ridiculous after awhile that nobody knows anything about anything and that s why we keep pushing for answers. iraq situation, especially continues to happen over the weekend and the president said look, we have to be worried about these extremists taking hold inside iraq. we ve got syria right on the border. guess what? people were saying the same things last summer, a year ago about extremists and terrorists taking over syria and that they needed u.s. air strikes to try to control the situation, try to make it better and help the rebels on the grund and new york times today said the president avoided syria fearful of another iraq and now he has another iraq anyway and i think that s come full circle in the administration and that s why they re in some deep trouble. just in january, prime minister malaki in iraq was begging for help of some kind. even if they didn t know last august, we ve all known since january.
