Chuck Krauthammer in full shriek mode:
Oh my god, talk about hair on fire.
His secretary of defense says, “The world is exploding all over.” His attorney general says that the threat of terror “keeps me up at night.” The world bears them out. On Tuesday, American hostage Kayla Mueller is confirmed dead. On Wednesday, the U.S. evacuates its embassy in Yemen, a country cited by President Obama last September as an American success in fighting terrorism.
Tanks, tanks, everywhere
Russia pushes deep into eastern Ukraine. The Islamic State burns to death a Jordanian pilot. Iran extends its hegemony over four Arab capitals — Beirut, Damascus, Baghdad and now Sanaa.
Bomb them, for heaven sakes, bomb them now!
I just love the way these nutcases forget that is how we got there in the first place. We also showed the Russians that invading other countries is a legitimate foreign policy.
I wonder what his solution is, oh right, same as last time and the time before that, right back to the point where rocks were hi-tech.
I suppose it gives them something to drape themselves in a flag about when the boxes arrive at Dover Air Force Base. Then they can cry crocodile tears when they talk about veterans all over again.
Not one long term solution proposed, just a warmongering diatribe if ever I have read one.

10. Reagan helped create the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden. Reagan fought a proxy war with the Soviet Union by training, arming, equipping, and funding Islamist mujahidin fighters in Afghanistan. Reagan funneled billions of dollars, along with top-secret intelligence and sophisticated weaponry to these fighters through the Pakistani intelligence service. The Talbian and Osama Bin Laden — a prominent mujahidin commander — emerged from these mujahidin groups Reagan helped create, and U.S. policy towards Pakistan remains strained because of the intelligence services’ close relations to these fighters. In fact, Reagan’s decision to continue the proxy war after the Soviets were willing to retreat played a direct role in Bin Laden’s ascendancy.
