Sean Penn sarcastically thanked former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney Wednesday night for “inventing” the Islamic State terror group that is wreaking havoc across the Middle East.

“You mentioned Dick Cheney, this kind of, you know, embittered bacteria of humanity,” the actor told TBS talk show host Conan O'Brien. “It’s always a surprise to me to remember that, through bionic technology and so on, this guy’s still here.”

“These are the guys — he and President Bush and some others — who invented Daesh, or ISIS,” Mr. Penn said, using the Arabic name and the acronym commonly used for the terror group.

Thank you.

Madonna broke his brain.

Actually, Madonna was the sane and responsible member of the relationship.

Penn was an abusive, substance addicted bastard who was finally served with divorce papers by Madonna after he beat her up badly enough to put her in the hospital.

Penn is a cluless ahole...

Actually, they did “invent” ISIS - they helped establish an independent Iraq army so strong and effective that it drove the remnants of Saddam’s followers and butchering army out of Iraq and into Syria, where they became the Iraq State In Syria - of course it took Obama’s abandoning Iraq to the purges of Maliki that helped make ISIS the butchering force it is today......

Let's be honest across the political spectrum. GWB was wrong getting involved in Iraq. Obama was wrong to continue with regime change initiatives when he took office.

Yes, good idea. Give some blame where it is due. George "Religion of Peace" Bush destroyed the Christian minority in Iraq. That was the outcome of his decisions. He needed to make his Saudi employers happy by sacrificing Christians. For this George Bush should be eternally condemned by Christian conservatives.

Christianity in Iraq

In Iraq, Christians numbered about 1,500,000 in 2003, representing just over 6% of the population of the country down from 12% on 1947 in a population of 4.7 million. They numbered over 1.4 million in 1987 or 8% of the population.[1] After the Iraq War, it was estimated that the number of Christians in Iraq had dropped to less than 450,000 by 2013[2] - with estimates as low as 200,000.

As of 21 June 2007, the UNHCR estimated that 2.2 million Iraqis had been displaced to neighbouring countries with a large majority of them Christians, and 2 million were displaced internally, with nearly 100,000 Iraqis fleeing to Syria and Jordan each month.[11][12] A 25 May 2007 article notes that in the past seven months only 69 people from Iraq were granted refugee status in the United States.[13]

How’s that new movie gunman Mr anti second amendment?

I thought Sean Penn was going to stay in Haiti the rest of his life, fixing it up.

He was. There was a promise of loads of cash coming to Haiti to rebuild. It was perfect.

But then, Hillary and Bill skimmed all the funds out of the Haiti Reconstruction Commission (yea... HRC) and gave Hillary's brother the GOLD MINE in Haiti so there wasn't much left for Penn to look forward to anymore.

Idiot found a new way to say Jimmy Carter

[MrEdd]

Who knew those guys were fourteen hundred years old?

[Politicalkiddo]

Haha, Communism is a weird drug.

[Veggie Todd]

I always thought he was ugly when he was younger, but he’s not aging well. He looks 10-15 years older than he actually is.

[Beowulf9]

Wow. How little I knew about all this.

What heartless crooks. Not that I feel sorry for Sean Penn. I don’t.

I feel sorry for the people of Haiti.

[Political Junkie Too]

Uhh... that would be Jimmy Carter and the Ayatollah Khomeini.

An idiot. Complete moron. This is all Obammy and on his watch.

[minnesota_bound]

Charlize Theron must be deluded to hang with him. It must be the marijuana she smokes.

[Stayfree]

Sean Penn has groomed himself to be the world’s biggest @sshole...great job Sean baby on perfecting the greatest representation of what a moron should be......

[Steelfish]

Equally moronic is is his new move-in woman: Charlize Theron!!!

[right way right]

Bah!
Publicity stunt because of his new movie.
Spicoaly as “The Gunman”. It looks pretty lame from the previews.

[pacpam]

A question I’d ask Sean Penn. Would ISIS have been what it is today if Pres. Bush had still been in office. I think not. Obama is solely responsible for what and where ISIS is today.

[Gaffer]

Have you seen the trailer for that new tough guy movie of his? Geez, I’m embarrassed for him, actually. It is pathetic.

The very idea he even thought he could pull off a role like that ala Arnold, Bruce, even Sly for gosh sakes.......

I saw it and then the image of Penn in his rescue canoe in NOLA after Katrina scooping out water from it using a red drink cup danced through my head. It hurts!
