I would bet the kool aid-drinking President is more sad about Prince passing away (I like Prince a great deal don't get me wrong RP) than about not having a SOFA agreement with Iraq and losing that country and making Syria more involved in a civil war with ISIL there in force. Mosul is under ISIL, hundreds of millions in gold was captured from the central bank. Thousands of Iraqi police and yazidiz are dead.
See what the unintended consequences of pulling out of Iraq as a campaign promise? Many are dead and now we are back with one hand tied behind our back and the Iranians have taken over the Iraqi government and our Abrahms tanks are now in Mosul under Hezbollah control and being used to take back the city from ISIL!
Iraq is a mess and a token force of Special Forces from the USA, Canada, Holland, France and some USMC on the ground with military training teams from the Army can't make up for the lack of boots on the ground.
The air forces of the world are doing their best and the USAF wants the A-10 in the Wright-Patterson Air Force Museum instead of on the front lines.
His VP reprimanded Israel, this week, for keeping the Golan and that if f-d up! Arabs don't want an agreement with Israel. They want them all dead, remember?
Israel and Russia have their differencs but Israel is not afraid of Russia and there are quite a few Russians there already as Jewish refuseniks from a long time ago. Israel is surrounded and Iran keeps firing missles with the long term goal, many think, of nuking the country someday.
Best to wait for the next President. President is on his showboat climate- change tour and he misses the point about how much harm he has done to his allies by not having good situational awareness or not allowing or not listening to his subordinates in Benghazi nor the Pentagon so we will just have to wait until January and hope for the best.

Iran this week conducted the first launch of a new rocket that the Pentagon views as a key element of Tehran’s effort to build long-range missiles. The launch of the Simorgh space launch vehicle

SSG John Thornton - I ask my self that question too? There I was...unemployed. I joined the ARNG in 1994 at age 31 and I was an E-4 due to the college degree I had earned years before. I became more motivated after I did ok in basic/AIT as an MP enlisted in the CAARNG. 11 months later I went to state OCS and I was a PT stud and I became an Officer at age 33 years 9 months with an age waiver.
I deployed 3 times and I am proud of it....
Mobilized in 2003-2004 on title 32 to protect Dugway Proving Ground, Utah for a year as a QRF platoon leader. I went/volunteered title 10 to Iraq in OIF 3/4 and I was a TOC LNO to an Armour BN and I later took my O-3 in the IRR and I went Civil Affairs in the USAR. I did well on APFT and I moved to Alberta, Canada and I flew at my own dime and did 300 on the APFT as a late 40 something Captain and I got deployed to Afghanistan in 2008-2009 and I got an ARCOM for actually helping the Afghans with projects from $5K to $2,000,000. At age 50, I got promoted to Major in the zone. I have my 20 year letter now going on 22 years and I am going to my final phase of CGSOC in July. If I make 0-5 in 2018 great! if not, its been fun!. I am 53 and I still get a 295 on my APFT. If you don't know where your from?, there you are! I volunteered for 2 of my 3 missions and I joined the ARNG and the USAR for God and Country. I am no hero and if you are upset at my political comments it was just my opinon then too bad, so sad!

CPT Jack Durish - Captain; I'd immediately seek better coordination with the Russians - ESPECIALLY when I was attacking Mr. Assad's allies.
It IS true that President Obama COULD have maintained US forces in Iraq - despite the fact that President Bush had already agreed to withdraw them. All that President Obama would have had to do was to agree to the one condition that President Bush defined as a deal-breaker and that would have been to agree that US forces would have been subject to Iraqi law and could be tried in Iraqi courts.
Since it was the Iranian sympathetic government of Iraq that President Bush had been instrumental in setting up that would then have had legal jurisdiction over US troops, neither President Bush nor President Obama was prepared to go that extra mile in order to maintain American troops in Iraq.
Of course, the other possibility would have been a second "surge" to oust the Iraqi government and to resume direct government of Iraq. That would have gone over like a lead balloon.

In other words, damned if you do and damned if you don't. It would be nice if, someday, we had a diplomat who actually knew what they were doing, wouldn't it?

CPT Jack Durish - Captain; Mr. Assad might become available shortly and there is always the possibility that Mr. Putin might consider a career change if properly wooed.

Like a Led Zeppelin? LOL I guess our coalition will have to 'RAMBLE ON' with one hand tied behind their back, exclusion of the Pesh Merga and seeing Hezbollah drive around with no appreciation of getting our M1A1 tanks with this ad hoc group trying to take back Mosul.
