The Israelis Send The Champ a Message
[Kanuk Free Press] When the news of Benjamin Netanyahu's reelection victory was announced I facetiously posted on my Facebook page that the Israelis had "sent Champ a two-word message and it wasn't happy birthday." It took him two days to call and congratulate Bibi.

I don't think we have ever had a President so ignorant of the Middle East and that includes the neo-cons that got George W. Bush into a war in Iraq to rid that nation of Saddam Hussein and presumably create a democracy to replace him.
That is, of course, what happened. Iraq has an elected government today that reflects the will of its people (most of 'em)...
Liberals tend to forget that Bush had actually accomplished that until The Champ pulled out all of our troops and consigned Iraq to anarchy and ISIS.

A simple understanding of the last century would presumably tell any President that the U.S. had troops all around the world for the purpose of maintaining the peace that various tyrants would challenge. As far as The Champ is concerned, the sooner America retreated to his own borders and eliminated its nuclear arsenal, the safer the world would be. Only an idiot would believe that.

To put it succinctly, The Champ has been wrong about Iraq, wrong about Syria, wrong about Egypt when he supported the Muslim Brotherhood, and is very wrong about Iran, a fact that has Israel and all the other Middle Eastern nations seriously concerned. If Putin hadn't concluded that The Champ is a fool and a weakling, he might not have invaded Ukraine and annexed the Crimea.
