Uh oh...Iraq

We should ask Jay who the good guys are.

He'll obviously think you're trying to put him in a corner and refuse to answer

[TobiasFunke]

Blackwater is the black mark on an already existing black mark. Shame on us for having hired thugs do our dirty work in places like Iraq.

 

We're no better than the British using Hessians

[arch stanton]

You must be mistaken. The private sector is always superior.

I don't want to play 20 questions with a guy who thinks it's wrong to kill ants.

[TobiasFunke]

answer one question is playing 20 questions now? Gotcha

 

 

And killing ants outside is the equivalent to sending troops to the middle east and thinking we can win wars. So it makes sense you think killing ants outside gets the job done.

I think the answer is obvious... Ebola.

Remember these guys? How is this for timing?

 

"By 2007, there were 100,000 private security contractors in Iraq. 1,000 of them were Blackwater guards on a $1 billion contract to protect US diplomats.

In August 2007, State Department investigators traveled to Iraq to review Blackwater's contract. They uncovered substantial evidence of misconduct, but Blackwater turned on them, with Blackwater's project manager in the country all but threatening to kill one of the investigators.An embassy staffer kicked the investigators out of the country so Blackwater didn't get even angrier."

wow.

This is what happens when you put oil industry executives in the White House. Every member of the Congress that allowed for the Iraq invasion and every voter who allowed them all to stay in power should serve a portion of these sentences.

[Hollyw00d]

In some defense of the voters, many people were duped by the state department and military intelligence into believing it was a justified and necessary war. Also, in the wake of 9/11, there was a culture of "patriotism" fostered by the media and political groups that made it taboo to question the war on terror and it's motives.

There's no doubt it was a lengthy campaign that had fronts overseas and at home.

[arch stanton]

Yet none of that had anything to do with Iraq.

[shellback]

follow the yellow cake road!   oops, dang... invaded wrong country.

 

this would be alot funnier if we wer'nt paying for it.

To be fair, those dying ants on the sidewalk more than likely considered AO's stomping an act of terrorism.

Kind of how English Cop feels about his punctuation?

But no boots on the ground... or something like that.

[mtangelsfan]

He's got that covered, they won't wear boots.

[Tank]

they're wearing special army-issued crocs.

[gotbeer]

$1.6 billion to train and equip Iraqi troops.  So that they can run and equip ISIS.

[Lhalo]

France refused delivery of their first order and stopped construction on the rest after the Ukraine incident took place. There are a couple hundred Russian sailors waiting on the docks for orders to board and get training underway.

 

Looks like they're about to deliver it after all.

The president of Kurdistan has called for independence. Good for them even though it's probably just a formality at this point.
