Iran and the United States have no parallel national security interests.
We both have an interest in destroying ISIS, don't we?
We needn't even ally with them or coordinate with them, just let them fight.

The Iranians would be rolled up like sod.
What, you mean, put U.S. ground troops in the same theater as the Iranians?
Gee, what could go wrong with that?
Bush rolled up the Iraqi's like sod and now we have Daesh because he decided against a permanent occupation force.The Iranians would be rolled up like sod.

You mean Obama decided against leaving a security force behind. Telll the truth for a change.
No need. I give them a Genghis Khan type warning. I'd tell them to be outside and looking towards Mecca on a given day, on that day they would see a demonstration drop of some really refined nuclear technology, and then tell them, "I we hear from afar that you are violating our law, we will return and exact a terrible vengeance."

You know that's never gonna happen.
You saying "Nuh uh" isn't refuting it.That bullshit has been refuted, get a clue.
Yep, I'm not running.
Everyone in the know has said Obama could have negotiated a status of forces agreement but chose not to do so for political reasons, and therefore squandered the victory and the sacrifice.
You may not realize it but we still have troops in Europe and in South Korea. I have always supported a punitive expedition strategy in Afghanistan and in Iraq, not a nation building long term occupation like we had to do in Europe.
I'm fairly certain if you look up the definition of "refute" it won't say, "Someone making a claim."Everyone in the know has said Obama could have negotiated a status of forces agreement but chose not to do so for political reasons, and therefore squandered the victory and the sacrifice.
And you may not realize none of those troops in Europe or South Korea are out patrolling the streets and carrying out domestic counter-insurgent activities to prevent the takeover of a country who's stable government the US has removed.You may not realize it but we still have troops in Europe and in South Korea.
BS.I have always supported a punitive expedition strategy in Afghanistan and in Iraq, not a nation building long term occupation like we had to do in Europe.
So your position is that a newly elected president need not abide by terms negotiated by their predecessor when dealing with sovereign foreign governments?
Because that seems to be your position, and would lead to untold instability across the globe.
Suppose for a moment that President Obama had done exactly that, and the Iraqi government insisted we abide by the agreement already reached and remove troops from their country. Then what? Invade and occupy...again?
He could have, but he refused to do so. Yeah funny how that works.
Ok, fair enough, we can roll up Iraq and have another Deash move in to occupy the area. That's the other option if we take out the Iranian government and you don't want long term occupation.You can say this all you want, but if you check my posts you see that I posted many times our need for a punitive expedition instead of the nation building bullshit we always engage in.
So you're back to making a baseless claim.Oh, and Obama did refuse to negotiate a status of forces agreement, but he didn't for political reasons.
He could have, but he refused to do so. Yeah funny how that works.
