BREAKING: "Unconfirmed report that Qais Khazali, one of the people the US named as responsible for storming of US Embassy in Baghdad, has been killed in new Baghdad airstrike"
If they’re like the donkies here they aren’t capable of thinking.
Foolish drivel.
AP reporting new airstrike north of Baghdad was not an American military attack
[If the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq had been remotely successful, we wouldn’t be seeing stories of all these senior Iranian military leaders roaming all over the place 10-15 years later. ]
- The Iraqi army was swept aside
- Saddam was evicted and killed
- No Sunni Arab dictator has replaced Saddam as Iraq’s leader.
- Iraq has a democratic government and every government since the invasion has been popularly elected.
I agree that these senior Iranian leaders are roaming all over is a function of Bush’s spinelessness in not enforcing tougher rules of engagement. Soleimani should have died within days of his appearance in Iraq. But it’s really Obama who made the creeping Iranian takeover a fait accompli, by withdrawing the US troops who had acted as insurance against the eventuality of creeping Iranian influence. In this respect, the Democrats acted as the party of surrender yet again. That can’t be blamed on Dubya.
Weirdly enough, I think it’s Dubya’s imperiousness on open borders that soured the GOP base on the Iraq war. Given that the alternatives were Gore, Kerry or McCain, I don’t regret voting for Dubya. But it would have been nice if Trump had run and won in 2000. We might have skipped the Obama interlude. But I doubt the GOP base was ready then, for an inveterate skirt chaser who had slept with a porn star, let alone one who did it during his wife’s pregnancy.
AAhhh...... yes
My spidey sense says that's bullshit.
I don’t know who that guy is but if he offers to give you a lift to the airport - I’d pass....
Amen to that.
President Trump is just playing with his new Christmas toys...
I aid yesterday he is the Michael Corleone of presidents :)
His ambassadors entered the camp about sunset, at the time when the troops were satisfying their hunger with a frugal repast. The Persians expressed their desire of being introduced to the presence of the Roman emperor. They were at length conducted to a soldier, who was seated on the grass. A piece of stale bacon and a few hard peas composed his supper. A coarse woollen garment of purple was the only circumstance that announced his dignity. The conference was conducted with the same disregard of courtly elegance. Carus, taking off a cap which he wore to conceal his baldness, assured the ambassadors, that, unless their master acknowledged the superiority of Rome, he would speedily render Persia as naked of trees as his own head was destitute of hair. ... The ministers of the Great King trembled and retired.
Humint is great but Sigint and Elint rock.
I heard the introductory offer for new generals is double the 72 virgins if their martyred within the first 90 days...
The terrorist leaders use medical vans when they know they’ve been put on the hit list.
The UN botched that, Afghanistan and Libya.
GWB was soft and bought into it.
Tucker of Arabia is going full-boat Obama on his show tonight.
Maybe he's got something going on under those robes.
That sounds about par for the course from the foat gucking maggots who use women and children as human shields when the sh!t hitting the fan is of the incoming variety.
The following applies to ~98.5% of 'em:
