Heck, where are dubya and cheney when we need them anyhow? They need to get their asses back there now and make things right and good, again, dontcha know. Or even Obama and Kerry who love Iraq, and have plenty of their military there to take over when this happens? Oh, they are already there and in charge? Whoda thunk it! I could rant forever, as the rest of us I’m sure. This is basically Obama’s and Kerry’s foreign policy in shambles, worldwide really. I hope the Iraq people burn down this “Green Zone” monument to America’s genocide and Crimes Against Humanity, monuments to dubya’s monumental cruelty and cowardice. I hope they burn up all American property and put all those genocidal American maniacs in the Green Zone in prison for life, at minimum, which is what they all deserve. Oh, and dubya and dick too, if possible.
“I could rant forever, as the rest of us I’m sure.”
“as the rest of us I’m sure”. No no no, not here at TPM.
No, you can definitely rant in a way no one can.
Only you’da thunk it. We have less than 5,000 troops in Iraq, mainly for advising and training Iraqi troops. The US troops have helped to drive ISIS out of some areas, but they’re hardly in a position to control what happens in the entire country. You might not have gotten the memo, but most Americans grew tired of the US occupation in Iraq; this led to the US handing over official control of Iraq to their own gov’t years ago.
I do not share your desire to see Americans in Iraq harmed, although I would indeed like to see W and Cheney taken to Baghdad and tied to a pole so that Iraqis could do whatever they felt like.
Who would have thought that invading a sovereign country – on false pretenses, and with no real plan for the aftermath – would turn out to have such horrific and lasting consequences?
Just anyone with a lick of sense.
This is what our troops have given up life and limb for?
Obama was handed this shit bomb with the fuse still running. I place blame squarely on the originators of this f’ing quagmire.
Good News! Bad News!
