Northern Iraq? I thought we went to war, and spent 5 trillion dollars, to “liberate” Iraq? Now we have to send 300000 troops back in to do another “liberation”?

Perhaps someday, somebody can do a study to find out if there is any common cause for why there seems to be so much violence in that part of the world. Though its most likely the effects of global warming

Brown University is the source. Their “math” will have it up to $500 trillion the next time they add up the numbers. Getting arthritis? Add a billion to the invasion cost.

It's nuts to protect the borders of foreign countries when are own borders are not protected. NOT one drop of American blood AND not one thin dime for the potentates of the Middle East - this is NOT OUR PROBLEM.

And if the Brits send us more ambassadors like Sir Kim Darroch - the Brits can protect their own damn oil tankers. Enough with the ingrates, the indefensibly violent cultures and lost causes that never should have been attempted in the first place. NOT ONE DROP OF AMERICAN BLOOD NOT ONE DIME OF OUR TREASURE. EFF 'EM.
