Midknight Review -- new and revised: Of the 30,000 Iranian trrops supporting the Iraqe's effort at retaking Takrit, 24,000 went home in protest of the US decision to "help" retake Saddam's hometown.

Editor's notes: Obama acknowledges that Iran is less than an ally in the fighting to retake Iraq after running off to domesticate America. only to all all the Bush victories to vanish into the wasteland that is the Obama agenda. At the same time, he laughs at the GOP for believing Iran is our "mortal enemy," and is working to make a peace agreement with that nation.

Sorry, but does anyone in this Administration have a clue as to what it is doing. We will not fight with Iran, but we will make a peace agreement that mortally effects the entire region.

Clearly, this bunch of rebels in our White House do not understand how to conduct foreign policy and are hellbent on fundamentally transforming the Middle East as they see fit, the leadership of Arab nations and Israel be damned.

Boston Globe:

Three major Shi’ite militia groups pulled out of the fight in Tikrit against the Islamic State on Thursday, immediately depriving the Iraqi government of thousands of their fighters on the ground even as US warplanes readied for an expected second day of airstrikes there.
The militia groups, some of which had Iranian advisers with them until recently, withdrew in protest of the US military airstrikes, which began late Wednesday, insisting that the Americans were not needed to defeat the extremists in Tikrit.
A fourth Shi’ite militia group said it would remain in the battle but vowed to attack foreign members of the US-led coalition, raising the possibility that it might turn antiaircraft fire against US planes from what had been Iraqi positions.
US military leaders were seen as likely to welcome the exit of the Shi’ite groups, so long as enough Iraqi fighters remain to keep the pressure on the Islamic State’s holdouts. Before starting the airstrikes, US officials demanded that Iranian officials and the militias closest to them to stand aside, and had expressed concerns about sectarian abuses in areas controlled by the Shi’ite militias.
One of the commanders of the biggest Shi’ite militia, the Badr Organization, also criticized the American role and said his group might pull out.
“We don’t need the American-led coalition to participate in Tikrit. Tikrit is an easy battle; we can win it ourselves” said Mueen al-Kadhumi.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
