Screw that. Let Iran do the bleeding. They certainly created the monster by supplying both Shia and Sunni with weapons and money from 2003 on.
Why Carter is on board with Obama is beyond me.
Obama skipped out. Now if Ashton is to be believed Obama wants back in. We will pay a high butcher's bill going back in than of we had never left.
Is Obama's legacy important enough that America should pay that bill?
