Big Brother? Small brain!
by: Ronovan

What’s Wrong With Iraq? Big brother let ‘em down.
The US let Iraq down. Yes, the US is the big brother in that we like to act like it.
People are seemingly amazed at ISIS and the advances it is making in Iraq. Really? Seriously? Wow.
This is RonovanWritesRanting time.
Hey, enemies of the new Iraq government, you guys just wait and plan because we’re going to pull out our troops by this date! Is that cool with you guys? Yeah? Okay, stock up.
Okay and before I go on, I am ticked off. I am mad. I am angry. Yes, RonovanWrites is angry. Think of all the troops, US, Iraqi and all the other countries involved that lost their lives just for this to happen. Yeah, ticked off is my polite way of putting it.
Oh, and before people start blaming Obama for pulling the troops out, Bush actually signed the order with the date on it for the troops to be removed before he left office. And no, this does not mean I am an Obama supporter or a Democrat, it means I like facts, I guess it’s the Historian in me. But does that mean I am a Bush supporter or a Republican? No, it means I like facts.
You cannot set a date for something like what happened in Iraq. You stay until they ask you to leave or the situation is well in hand. Now the US is storming to the area with a warship. I hope no more lives are lost.
I read a book a while back, took some notes on it, and it said that the reason terrorists from that area of the world are turning their attention to the US is because we keep stomping around in their yards. If a country asks for help, sure, go for it. Was there a legit reason to go into Iraq in the first place? I’ll never know.
But this I do know; once you are there you stay there without an expiration date until the job is done. One president caved to the pressure to set a date, and another caved to the pressure to follow through with it. Both were wrong.
I don’t understand everything going on in Iraq. We get the news here in the US with a western take on things. I try to look at a lot of sides. Regardless of what’s going on ISIS has been wrong so far. And really the whole idea of ISIS from my understanding is wrong, especially there methods.
I think the US needs to change their foreign policy in the future about how to deal with things. Don’t mess in other people’s muck. Take care of number 1, US, and each country would call themselves number 1 so don’t start with me on calling US number 1.
And here is my biggest Foreign Policy change. Whoever the president is consider this; if we cannot get it right in this country why are we going elsewhere to think we can fix it there?
Much Regards

Everyone laughed at the Biden Plan. Now everyone says that’s what we should have done.

True. It should really have been left to Iraq to decide. Perhaps there would have ended up being a more peaceful situation, but we’ll never know. Also with ISIS it’s a situation of more and more and more. The American public in general has no idea what ISIS is or what their overall all intent is.

For what it is worth, I agree on everything said, especially the part in the last comment that the American public in general has no idea what ISIS is or what their overall intent is. It is called ignorance, which does NOT mean that people are stupid, just that they are unaware of the facts, a lack of knowledge.
I started a blog about being tired of being ignorant about world events, will not shamelessly plug it here but all I was doing was taking the top news story of the day, gave my self 1 hour to learn all I could and then FORMED AN OPINION, or at least tried. Thanks for the nudge back into keeping it going, just need to remember that I was doing it for ME, not to get comments or responses.
Thanks for the rant Ronovan!

Do it! I don’t really have the format here to rant like I might would like sometimes. 🙂 Do a plug here for it, let me know when about it and when I see a good one I’ll tweet it and reblog it. I don’t do it unless I like it. Even if I disagree with it I know good facts and quality when I see it.
Much Respect

Interesting. For a time on facebook I would take the lead story of CNN and FoxNews and compare what the two considered the headlining concern for us to know about. 🙂 Or I would do a very brief opinion thing. My brain doesn’t rant like it once did though. I look forward to see what comes next.
