Not that I'm condoning this but why is the fighter in your house.
Because he has a fuckin gun and people generally prefer to keep their heads on their shoulders.

Unfunnily enough I think Bush may end up being vindicated on Iraq. He went about it for entirely the wrong (bullshit) reasons, but over the long term Iraq may end up being better off for it.
That's the exact truth why?Because he has a fuckin gun and people generally prefer to keep their heads on their shoulders.
If you look far enough into the future a country can get over almost any fuck up. It doesn't mean the fuck up was worth it. Iraq would have a lot more money, educated people and be decades ahead in terms of infrastructure if the invasion never happened.
One thing i do think about is what the arab spring would have done to saddam's iraq. But im not sure if there would even be one without it.
I doubt that. Under Saddam Iraq wasn't doing much about anything. They were heavily sanctioned. The only pockets he was lining were his own and that of his tribe.
Probably get a taste of Saddam's murder machine. Just like every other time they rose up against him.
That's the exact truth why?
ironically, i could see the US supporting Saddam because the uprising would probably be another shia one supported by Iran.
*1991We have been in iraq since 2003. Its been 14 years. If you think that there ia about to be an end to the fighting, you arent paying attention. Whether its Al-queida, an insurgency, ISIS, or the kurd problem you see coming. War in the middle east is perpetual.
The mission statement from the president is to "bomb the shit out of them." So in a way it was a successful mission.
And we wonder why they're willing to die to kill one of us with a knife.
We dropped the bombs. We are ultimatly responsible.
This action created more terrorism. Period. Full stop.
If Iraq cannot give us targets that dont actively create more terrorists, then we should not be taking their targets.
You trying to tell me the US is not at all responsible for the situation over there? They destabilized the region in the first place, I'm sure 99% of Iraqis preferred life under Saddam then what they have now. You don't really believe we are there for freedom do you Rod?
And we wonder why they're willing to die to kill one of us with a knife.
How about the guy who lost 32 members of his family?Im sure killing a couple fighters was worth it. No way that guy holding a bag that used to be his pregnant wife is gonna hate the USA now.
And the people who found half of their 7 year old. They will certainly not hate the usa. We said we were just doing our jobs.
How about the guy who lost 32 members of his family?
That ship has sailed. The US getting rid of ISIS is just a little bit of tidying up before the new owners take over.I dont disagree, but im thinking the US wants to be there because pulling out means leaving all of Iraq to Iran.
While a cute quip and a better strategy then fuck it leave the country. Still not the real mission statement.
