Help Abu do what? Establish an Iraq that is strong and stable? If Abu states that religion must be kept out of the Constitution, ok. But.....the Iraqi Constitution states...NO LAW SHALL CONTRADICT ISLAM.

Game over. Not worth a dime trying to help that.

The retarded savages stand no chance at taking Al Asad. There is no comparison to be made between Benghazi and Al Asad.

In light of Benghazi the Army needs to understand:

IT'S EASIER TO GET FORGIVENESS THAN PERMISSION.

Go in and save 'em.

We now come to understand what he means when he says all the time that he will get to the bottom of it. He speaks for the country. He’ll take us down if its the last thing he does. So there! Infantile narcissism will not be thwarted.

Each word he speaks is either the opposite of truth or the literal truth (hidden truth of his evil plans).

Such ironies, as you point out in your post.

Reading this story, I thought it was time for the pic of Sadaam Hussein with the “miss me yet?” picture.
