BAGHDAD — Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Monday the United States does not intend to seize Iraqi oil, shifting away from an idea proposed by President Donald Trump that has rattled Iraq's leaders.
Mattis arrived on an unannounced visit in Iraq as the battle to oust ISIS militants from western Mosul moved into its second day, and as the Pentagon considers ways to accelerate the campaign against the group in Iraq and Syria.
Those efforts could be complicated by Trump's oil threat and his inclusion of Iraq in the administration's travel ban — twin blows that have roiled the nation and spurred local lawmakers to pressure Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to reduce cooperation with Washington. ---------- Given the fact that the President keeps repeating verifiable lies, and when the news outlets report the fact that he's not stating the obvious truth, he has said that the Constitutionality guaranteed freedom of the press, is "An enemy of the United States". We have to wonder, is that since he claims that the President has the absolute power to defend the United States, what would he do to "protect" the country?
Seriously folks, are we correctly concerned about the mental health of a man who continuously repeats lies that are false, beyond a reasonable doubt. McCain told NBC that "the first thing that dictators do is shut down the press,"
We have every right to question the mental health of a man who exhibits an inability to accept the documented truth. Or bases his evidence on Sweden under attack by terrorists, he saw on Fox news. The President should reply on his intelligence briefings, not on the "Enemy of the United States" when holding a press conference, that is seen by millions around the world.
Hi HB, hope you are doing well, I looked up your pension fund, not good. Your bleeding money faster then it is coming in.
Best to you today .
I can not count the number of time Obama responded that he learned about some world event by saying he saw it first on tv, learning about what ever it was , the same time as we did.
KD, bend over HB and take it again PussyHead

Here's a quick look back at some other times the President has claimed innocence, as pointed out by both Bongino and former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson:
1.Fast and Furious: When asked about the gun-running scandal that resulted in the death of border agent Brian Terry in 2010, President Obama told reporters on Oct. 11, 2011, “I heard on the news about this story, that, uh, Fast and Furious.”
2.NSA spying on foreign leaders: President Obama said he didn't know his administration was spying on foreign leaders like German Chancellor Angela Merkel. He told the press on Oct. 28, 2013 that, “I can assure you that I certainly did not know anything about the IG report before the IG report had been leaked through the press.”
3.The General David Petraeus sex scandal: Petraeus, then the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, was forced to resign in Nov. 2012 after news surfaced that he was having an affair with his biographer. The White House repeatedly refused to answer questions about when the President was finally briefed about Petraeus' situation.
4.The IRS's targeting of conservative groups: President Obama told the media in May 2013 that he first learned about the IRS's improper targeting “from the same news reports that I think most people learned about this. I think it was on Friday.”
5.The Justice Department's wiretapping of AP and Fox News reporters: When asked about the secret seizure of reporters' phone records, Obama spokesperson Jay Carney told the media that the president “found out about the news reports, uh, yesterday on the road.”
6.The Department of Veterans' Affairs healthcare 'waiting list' scandal: The White House appeared to be in the dark about the waiting list scandal and cover-up related to medical care for the country's military vets. Then-Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters that, “We learned about them through the reports. I will double check if that is not the case. But that is when we learned about them.”
7.The Unauthorized Air Force One photo-op: New York City residents were panicked when, in April 2009, Air Force One — sans President Obama — flew over the Statue of Liberty for a pre-scheduled photo-op. Obama's response: “It was something that, uh, we found out about, uh, along with all of you.”
In his letter on 2/29/17, Perry Nelson expresses his concern over the liberal bias of the media. Perhaps I can help him understand why the media has a liberal bias.
Facts have a liberal bias. Science has a liberal bias. Victims of racism have a liberal bias. Victims of misogyny have a liberal bias. Victims of racial and ethnic discrimination have a liberal bias. Innocent refugees fleeing conservative spawned wars and terror have a liberal bias. Citizens who are trying to prevent the pollution of planet Earth have a liberal bias. Citizens who feel care and compassion for the ill and the vulnerable have a liberal bias. Citizens who fear right wing tyranny have a liberal bias. The governments and most of the citizens of Canada, Australia, the UK, all of western Europe and the Scandinavian countries have a liberal bias.
The media observes and reports on this “liberal bias” because (most) of the media consists of educated, professional journalists who observe firsthand the reality of the world we live in. The media reports this reality based on their contacts with a very diverse set of the people of our country and the whole world, not just a rural community of likeminded people .
Liberalism is the future of a decent, caring and successful human social society. I am proud of my liberal bias.
Seriously folks, are we correctly concerned about the mental health of a man who continuously repeats lies that are false, beyond a reasonable doubt. McCain told NBC that "the first thing that dictators do is shut down the press,"

so let me see if i'm getting this -
you support those who burn, riot, put trump supporters in the hospital, protest wearing facsimiles of female genitalia, threaten to blow up the white house, and otherwise run around shrieking that trump is not their president.
but it's trump's mental health that should frighten us.
and all he did to illicit such crazed, unhinged reaction was win an election.

liberalism, socialism, and marxism have caused more suffering on this planet that conservatism ever has.
thank god the whackjob who penned that steaming pile of bullshit is all the way out in idaho falls.
we're full up with crazies like him in NY. including our governor. we don't need another.
I am 100 % behind and support each and every left wing riot err, excuse me, "protest".
This ONE is my Favorite ,,,, so the left decides that the USA should have an Immigrant/Illegal Immigrant walk out to bring the US Economy to a halt. I know, right , you missed it too, well it was last week. So it failed, but in this one area , the area I love , it was a YUGE Embrace the SUCK.
100 immigrants both legal and ill-legal were fired, why, because they let their employer know they were not sick, had no family emergency or other legit reason to not be at work, other then they did not show up for work so they could protest.
Love it when a socialist plan falls this flat on its pussyface.

There were actually more reporters than protesters. Pathetic.
it could've just been bad timing.
there was a "i'm a murderous fucking raghead jihadist too" protest going on in nyc.
I am more than willing to bet that Trump can win reelection even with his gallup polling in the 40's.
You could be correct, if he doesn't get impeached before than with another BS statement about a swedish meatball having an AK-47....yeah sweden.
Detroit Protestors were whipped into a foam by Louis "I am a Racist" FarraCON, the "mostly peaceful" protestor broke into a chant of "Allah Arbark".
I am 100 % behind and support each and every left wing riot err, excuse me, "protest".
Let us reflect upon what the liberals believe today and what they believed on Nov. 8th, 2016.

HB you slip is showing.
Thanks again for letting me show you up.
First MoonBeam now this guy admitting President Trump , is actually the US President.
Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings - "He (Mr. Trump) is MY President"
Obama's the one with the questionable mental health.
You may not like Trump, but that doesn't make him mentally anything.
Seriously folks, are we correctly concerned about the mental health of a man who continuously repeats lies that are false, beyond a reasonable doubt. McCain told NBC that "the first thing that dictators do is shut down the press,"
