HydroCabron says

Today, Iraq is Harvard for terrorism

In other words, grade inflation with alumni connections towards recruiting, for management consulting a/o financial services firms. Thus, it would be like Iraq ceremonially killing a few terrorists (you know, the valedictorians from poor rural towns) but then, turning around and telling the world that it's rid the near east of all terrorists.

The truth is that Iraq is the CalTech for terrorism.

“Saddam Hussein was a bad guy, right? He was a bad guy. Really bad guy,” Trump begins. “But you know what he did well? He killed terrorists. He did that so good. They didn’t read them the rights, they didn’t talk. They were a terrorists - it was over. Today, Iraq is Harvard for terrorism.”

Trump is dead right. Hussein was a scum bag, but because he was a scum bag, he knew how to deal with terrorists. All this nonsense about "rights" for terrorists is the worst possible way of solving the terrorist problem. How effective has Obama been?

Do you seriously believe that Obama has the drone pilots read jihadis their rights before vaporising them?

I thought the latest circlejerk was that Obama was killing too many people with drones.

He is killing too few terrorists with drones. He let ISIS get to the size of a country before he did anything.
Terrorism has increased during his 2 terms. His failure to contain terrorism is obvious, and that's how history will judge him.

Obama is also named Hussein, and likes to kill terrorists. Maybe it's causal.
Trump likes to praise bad asses like Putin, xiaoping, and Hussein. It's just edgy enough to get attention, but it can be walked back enough. At first, I wasn't sure if it was purely political or an attempt at a bromance. With Saddam dead and all, this one looks purely political.

History won't judge OBama to be the cause of ISIS, at least not the primary or only cause. This shit is complicated. History probably won't even judge Reagan to be the cause of Al Queda.

This is pretty straight forward and seems accurate.

Whereas Goddese Bellona removes secular dictators, to replace them with a civil war involving absolutely bat shit cray cray, totally unhinged, and largely uncontrollable Religious Fanatics who throw gays out of windows, execute 'adultresses' on the word of a single male witness on the street, and gun down dozens at nightclubs.

What has Obama done to stem the tide of terrorism?

Looked visibly angry the first and only time during his Presidency to let us know that the son of Refugees, whose second wife who kept quiet during his open terror plotting was also a 'refugee', weren't representative of refugees generally (Like the Tsarnev brothers also weren't, or the countless Somalis arrested for horrific domestic crimes, or the various Iraqi refugees arrested for arms smuggling to terror groups in the MENA)

Trump is right.

This thread shows once again the authoritarian appeal of Trump.

Yeah, but nobody is more authoritarian than the cultural-marxist left, AKA red-painted fascists.
