Uh,oh....I hope the next time I see a photo of a purple finger in Iraq that the only explanation is not that someone just ate a plum.Perhaps this is what Trump was talking about when he basically said in that region you can bring the horse to the water of western democracy but you cannot make the horse drink it.

Personally I think anything we do for muslims is for nothing...except our own destruction by importing them.

Their mindset is totally contrary to western civilization and it’s a total mistake for us to think we can really give them democracy and expect them to adjust to it. That religion demands total subservience and that is what it gets.

Moqtada al-Sadr

Allied troops should have put that mad dog down when they had the mosque where he was 'hiding' in the early days of IW 2.

The Green Zone. How many $billions did GWB and Co spend on that debacle?

We were wrong to invade Iraq in 2003.

We took out al-Zarqawi in 2006, why not al-Sadr?

We killed Saddam’s sons in 2003 then captured him later that year. Remember “Uday...and Cusay...are dead-ay!”?

Third world democracy: One man, one vote, one time. Our strategic policy in the region should shift from `nation-building’ to `glass parking lot’. Starting with Mecca.
