If you raze the ME, I may be open to supporting the Marshall Plan for the ME. But we should use the oil revs to pay for it. Two conditions and they are not negocciable: 1. Mecca delenda es & 2. Iranian mullahs have to be shipped to the afterlife. Are we good?

We provided trillions in blood and treasure. Time for Europe to protect its own interests.

Irish = Neutral in WWII

Germans didn’t bother them that much.

Mexico was courted by the Germans too, to invade the US.

Did you hear the one about when David Bowie died?

He went up to the Pearly Gates and St. Peter recognized him and said, "Come with me David. I have something to show you."

St. Peter led him to a group of musicians who were jamming.

David Bowie said, "Wow. That's Jimi Hendrix...and there's Elvis...Buddy Holly and Bono too.

St. Peter said, "Shhhh. That's God. He thinks he's Bono."

Saudi Aramco has an estimated value of between $1.5 trillion to $10 trillion. Let them help.

The analogy is poor. In Europe they were rebuilding an infrastructure destroyed by war for somewhat civilized people who had gone insane over a mad political ideology during an economic depression. But in 1946 the war had ended. The defeated nation(s) knew they were defeated and did not want to fight anymore.

In the middle east they are still quite busy killing eachother and will be forever.

Why doesn’t he run that shi’ite in his own country?”

Didn't U2 reincorporate in the Netherlands?

As an aside, I've got to look out for the South Park "couric" epi...

Another mouthpiece from an industry that has not saved a nation or created a safe way of life for any nation. Bono is just pushing his agenda because he has not been called out on his agenda. He doesn’t pay taxes in Ireland and he has been living the charmed life for the past 35 years!

This proposal is nothing more than dhimmi offering his jizya tax.

Bono,

We could, and have, thrown trillions in the middle east. Islam is the problem. Until a major reformation of Islam occurs nothing will change. There are glimmers of hope like Jordan but the rest of the region is run by suicidal maniacs.

“Aid in 2016 is not charity; it is national security,” the rock star, who is also an active anti-poverty campaigner, testified to the Senate subcommittee that oversees foreign aid.

“It could be the best bulwark we have against violent extremism,” Bono said.

Almost like the refugee crisis was a False Flag to setup a “international problem” that could only be solved by a “International Re-distribution of Wealth”....and a global “income tax” to play for all the “have nots” in other countries...

Arabs have Trillions in oil money invested overseas.

USA is not a damn global piggybank.

"It could be the best bulwark we have against violent extremism," Bono said.

You can use as many ten-dollar words as you please (although who even uses the word 'bulwark' in this century?), but if you can't even clearly state the real name for the actual cause of the problem, then you don't have a chance in hell of fixing it.
