Were they better off with Saddam? Were WE better off with him there?

Yes, and Yes. The only winner of the Iraq War was Iran.

Cut the head off the snake. If the assets have never found a superior alternative to Sadr, all the more reason to eliminate him, and then insert invisible hand in the reshuffle.

There are material reasons why so few Arab nations have a democratic form of government, and why Dubya was a bonehead for trying to force-feed democracy to the Iraqis.

Hoorah (Hebrew for “he’s bad”)! More treasure and lives squandered for lack of sacred honor.

I thought young Muktada El Sadir had joined forces with Ali Sistani and became the dynamic duo of spiritual leaders, fighting Iranian influence. So much for that idea.

Another example why not one foreign policy question was asked during the debates. Shitshow Joe is batting .1000.

Looks like the freshman team could go 0 for 2. It’s a pity

“Days of pro-Muqtada Sadr protests and unrest have reportedly.....”

Mookie is back and bigger than ever! He is the semi-retard son of a distinguished and famous Iraqi Shiite cleric.

All we managed to do in Iraq was switch the rulers from Sunni/Bathist/Saddam to the Shiites, who are aligned with the Shiite Iranians.

Benghazi 2.0?

It is a sure thing that a story will soon come out (then be suppressed) that the administration has been hearing warnings weeks. Probably in the daily Presidential briefs.

True to form, it just didn’t register in Joe’s mind.

With no one in charge, reports are not acted upon.

When no one actually has power, doing something would mean taking responsibility, sticking your neck out, and the reports didn’t fit “the narrative” so best not to be a troublemaker.

This was inevitable with our stupid idea to turn the invasion of Ukraine into a badly scripted soap opera instead of supplying the Ukrainians on the down low. and taking a nuanced tone. .

Israel has been very quite for these exact reasons and anyone who doesn’t think Iran and best buddy Russia don’t know exactly what they are doing, well, they need to just keep on swallowing the lies of our intelligence community/fake news

What is the status of the US ambassador? I’m asking in memory of J. Christopher Stevens.

Yet another failed effort to “spread democracy” in the Middle East...

Another evacuation coming soon.

This is an intra Shia dust up and the divide Iraq into Kurd/Sunni/Shia parts wouldn’t have worked. Brandon never gets anything right.
