REPUBLICAN SENATORS WANT OBAMA TO SEND TROOPS BACK TO IRAQ
Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsay Graham have both said we should send troops back into Iraq now that violence has broken out all across the country. Secretary of State John Kerry has said we would provide military hardware to the Iraqi but not any American troops. Richard Engel, the NBC foreign correspondent, told Rachel Maddow that even 10,000 US troops would not stop the fighting between Shiites and Sunni that has been going on for 1300 years. Fox News naturally sides with McCain and Graham, but you won't find one member of the Fox News family suggesting any immediate member of their family join the military and volunteer to go to Iraq and help stop the uprising.

VIOLENCE ESCALATEES IN IRAQ. FOX NEWS BLAMES OBAMA
