Caliphates in Western clothing

As the ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) brand gathers speed across Iraq and the Social Media, so does the speed of denial from the architects of a delusional vision. 

These caliphates in western clothing are too numerous for fingers and thumbs, but a premiership league table must include Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Powell, Bremer, Wolfowitz and Blair. Congress isn't far off either.

In a recent Wall Street journal piece, monster in Chief Dick Cheney stated that rarely has a U.S. President been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many.” 

Could this be in reference to his former boss Dubya ?

Let’s hope so for the sake of correctness and while American and allied men and women were losing their lives sold on a fake pretext, old Dickey was helping KBR bring in forty billion in profits, a Halliburton subsidiary.

And now signatures are multiplying for Tony Blair to be ousted from a diplomatic role in the Middle East. 

The special relationship between him and Bush has left the whole region in complete chaos.

With leaders like these, who needs radical Islam?

Saddam Hussein was quarantined in a box not going anywhere - yes a monster in a box, but like Marshal Tito in Yugoslavia he kept a tight lid on ethnic tensions.

In an imperfect world, it was the best solution.

Jo Biden, who has been sidelined as a laughing buffoon rightly called it.

"Iraq needs to be broken up into a federation if there is any chance of cohesion because we have just unleashed a colossal disaster."

The West doesn’t understand Islam and probably never will. 

Nouri al Maliki doesn't care about Sunni’s and as a result played the West into thinking a secular Iraq could exist. 

If the American trained Iraqi troops are unzipping their uniforms and fleeing and not fighting for their homeland, why on earth should the West care about their country?

There are no reasons for more flesh and treasure to be deployed, Americans in particular would rather have Detroit rebuilt and watch the World Cup than have anything to do this unsolvable region.

But by way of justification we could send the aforementioned leaders in a herd of Humvee's and let them see the wisdom of their ways.
