Iraq....

[TerryB]

all righty then

LOL Don't bail now! He's full of crap.

[TerryB]

The Saigon comment is to the point; they are saying the same things they said about Viet Nam - "we want it more than they do," that is, we, the U.S., want a strong central government in Iraq more than the Iraqi leadership does. Are we still surprised about this kind of thing? Surprised when it turns out the Iraqui leadership just wants to grab power and look out for Numero Uno? Did we learn anything in Viet Nam, or in twenty conflicts in Africa, or about a million other lessons in history? Anyone taken a look at our leadership in the US lately?

It's a shame colonialism went out of style, everyone would be better off if Iraq was now Iraqsylvania, our fifty-first state. We could make a quarter with a fundamentalist fucking a goat on the back.

That's racist.

Batboy, if you really believe that the Administration cannot connect the dots - while you can - you're naive.

Really? The current administration and the "war everywhere" Republican wing (lead by John McCain) were warned repeatedly that arming Jihadist connected militias in one part of the middle east would come back to bite the West in the ass in other parts of the Middle east.

A lot of people, left, right, indifferent have been able to connect the dots. The current administration and their foreign policy friends? Not so much.

[TerryB]

I think I actually dislike Batboy more than the current Administration.

LOL-In the absence of anything worth while to say, both you and buckethead engage in woman like antics of online politics. The typical female stategy of " If they like me, people won't notice I have nothing worth while to say".

Good luck with that strategy sugar tits.

ofor the reason you cite, bama was for a time unwilling to arm syrian rebels. hillary clinton writes of his decision in her memoir. she thought we could get arms into the proper hands. subsequently, with congress' approval, we sent arms to "moderates."

but as you say, you send weapons into the world, some will end up pointed back at you. the arms business, like the middle east, never works according to plan--except for the arms manufacturers.

[Shafpocalypse Now]

We should definitely only give guns to Jews, and then maybe Catholics.

To Batboy "worthwhile to say = agrees with him", but I don't even think he knows my username since he thinks all i do is paste porn

You were much more interesting when you were arguing over the aerodynamics of a bowling ball. Now you're a humorless dick that complains about other peoples opinions on IGx. Not the substance of their opinions, but that they have one. Throw down or go home.

[buckethead]

I rarely critique someone's opinion, only their absolute certainty or inability to see anybody's else's opinion

or if they maintain they have 24 iraqi friends.

To me, that is very worthwhile. So throw down or go home. But I will work on being as humor-full as you.

Thank you anointed one!

Thank you for coming down form on high to correct the injustices of the IGx while contributing and sharing absolutely zero.

[buckethead]

You're welcome, no problem.


Wait, was that one of those humor things?

How dare you suggest that, some of my best friends are goats.

I had 24 goats when I was a kid so I can make that kind of joke if I want.

[Andy83]

Wondering what Obummnutz will do when the ISIS(new name for Al Qada) starts beheading Americans stuck in the embassy there? He said no more boots on the ground because we can't do anything.
Last I saw was he's enjoying some Indians dancing in costume flashing his Chiclet teeth for the cameras.

[Sangoma]

Coming back to the initial question, events in Syria are connected to Iraq. I work with an Iraqi surgeon, and according to him everyone in Iraq is very concerned about Syria.

Your opinion on Iraq is based on your conversation with the one Iraqi you know?

Looks like my Iraqi friend was right and so was I taking his opinion in. Not that it matters much, but it's Monday morning, I am grumpy, and it makes marginally pleasant that Turdacious can now stick his condescending remark up his ass and get fucked.

[Pinky]

Iraq is getting complicated. We should invade another country and hope that these ISIS characters come to us.

[climber511]

Iraq - get out completely - that and Afghanistan both. Neither are worth what we have paid - in money or in lives. We nearly bankrupt the world by blowing up a few trillion dollars to no end I can see. Nation building? How's that been working out for us the last couple hundred years? We've come close to "unbuilding" our own nation.

[johno]

S. Korea? Germany? Japan?

[Fat Cat]

In building anything, the quality of the raw materials is paramount.

I agree. The only people that seem that seem to be worth a damn are the Kurds. I vote for fucking Turkey, Iran and the Arabs in their collective asses and supporting a Kurdish state.
