If it was so important to stop Iraq, why didn’t we just nuc them?

It would have saved American lives, at a cost of the lives of people no one gives a shit about anyway.

Check and checkmate!

Good thing they “saved the planet” and created a robust middle class. Who knew one person killing civilians could be so powerful?

Jumping the shark is one thing, but FOX news has jumped the “cuckoo for cocoa puffs” bird.

Payne explained that since America has become “the world’s policeman,” thousands of Americans died in Iraq so that billions of people in other countries could enter “the middle class.”

Or, in the case of about 100,000 Iraqis, enter the world beyond.

I think you are way too low on the number of Iraqis entering the world beyond.

If one wants to see a channel with the most stupid people all on display, just watch Fox News.

Actually, sir, invading Iraq is pretty much what’s destroying the world.

Try over a million. Not counting all those dead from ISIS, which never would have come into being without millions of Iraqi refugees swamping Syrian resources.

Good show, GWBush.

I look at that picture and I wonder if the woman has any self awareness at all… Two men, both in business suits and the bleach blond in what amounts to cocktail attire.

…“saved the planet.” … from??? – NO, SERIOUSLY, … saved from exactly WHAT?
non-existent weapons of ‘mass destruction’ … non-substantiated al-Qaeda connection?
Charles Payne is a vapid cheerleader gushing about how his team is so good - because they are really great!

Is this guy unaware that there are billions of people in abject poverty and that the wars we started made it worse, not better? Or does he just think his viewers are dumb enough to believe him?

These are the same slimeballs who will mutter incessantly about “principles” and “honor”. Horrible, horrible people.

Also, unlike what is evidently portrayed in the movie, the real Chris Kyle, years after ending his tour, talked about how he had loved hid job, that it was “fun”, and that if it weren’t for his family he’d go back to it immediately. That doesn’t really sound like someone who was struggling with what he’d done.

Because the only thing that will stop an American superhero sniper with a gun is another American hero with a gun.

No doubt Fox has been getting calls saying that she is wearing far too much clothing !

thousands of Americans died in Iraq so that billions of people in other countries could enter “the middle class.”

OMFG.

That’s certainly not why these guys thought they were sacrificing their lives and limbs.

Unbelievable.

I think Charles’ point is that when a sizable portion of a country’s population dies, there’s more room for the remaining folks to innovate and prosper. Kind of like the Black Death lol
