Will Obama Blow the Progress of the Last 8 Years?

Eight years ago the Butcher of Baghdad was ruling Iraq.
The Taliban was in control of Afghanistan.
Libya was working on weapons of mass destruction.
Al-Qaeda was playing offense.
Not today.

148 Iraqis were murdered by the Saddam Regime including children in the village of Dujail, north of Baghdad, in 1982.


Official Iraqi documents recovered after the fall of Saddam regime suggest a staggering 5 million executions were made during Baath era alone. Over 10 million were also imprisoned. They were all Shias save a small percentage of Kurds. It is also very interesting to note that after the 1991 Shia uprising over 300,000 were killed or captured never to be seen again, but there were no injured. (Brookes News)

Saddam evil on film… Tongue, arm, finger, hand amputations on video- HERE.

Today… Iraqi and US Casualties are at record lows.
Afghanistan and Iraq are fledgling democracies.
Al-Qaeda’s leadership has been decimated and the terrorists are on the run.
The Taliban is out of power.

But, that could all change with the radical in the White House. Al-Qaeda is already celebrating the Obama win. Obama has promised to withdraw troops from Iraq. Afghanistan is struggling with the Taliban again. Pakistan is unstable. Iran is developing nukes.

Barack Obama has some big decisions in front of him.
The world waits.
Let’s pray he doesn’t blow it.
