Haa hahahahaa! Good one. You guys almost had me there. What? Seriously?
Hmm… Well, I’m sure this whole “Iraq Situation” will be over soon if we just bomb and send arms and money to…someone…
Viva La Friedman!

Nah, the “fundamentalists who want to present the sacrificed corpse of the world to their evil god” thing will be over when we all sing “lah lah lah” while covering our eyes and ears to the screams of their victims. Or … maybe we should kill them now, before they go further? Your choice.

Pottery Barn rule. We broke Iraq, so now we are stuck with it.

Uh-oh, this could spin Tweety up into another inchoate ‘Why aren’t we killing? What did the President not kill and when did he not kill it?’ dither…

6

Bill Kristol approves this message.

7

Actually, this piecemeal approach is preferable to all out war that had to be fought simultaneously on multiple fronts. One by one, these ISIS dudes will feel real heat.

8

So…fucking…tired…of…this…shit…

11

I have.

Well spoken Mr Chamberlain! How did shining der Fuehrers boots work out for ya?

I love Bernie but he has no chance to win a national election. So you’re willing to let a chicken hawk win the presidency and pack the SCOTUS further to the right?

How are your politics little more than a Tea party doppelganger? They’re just as scary…

14

Bernie is a good man. why are you calling him a hoe?

socialism? hipocricy?

What brings you here pilgrim?

15

Beej just went Full Re-Tarred.

16

I am sorry, but ISIL is one of those groups we can’t ignore. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that those bastards like killing people and they have giant ambitions. Better to confront them early than late.

17

Of COURSE we’re considering a “new” (ha ha!) mission in Iraq!

Can anyone believe we’d abandon the assets of the oil extraction industry (who, incidentally, pays no taxes to support these endeavors)?

Does anyone think that any candidate within the reach of the Presidency in 2016 won’t do precisely the same thing?

Now that we killed so many of 'em to bring 'em their freedumb, we gotta protect their freedumb just like we do here in 'Murica when we send in cops with combat gear to keep the “peace.”

May I ask, who’s gonna kill the sonsofbitches that annihilated an Afghan wedding party, slaughtered women and children in Haditha, or strafed the unarmed journalists? Who’s going after the people responsible for slaughtering women and children in Gaza? Or is this all just arbitrary, and a life that we’re groomed to believe is on “our side” is just worth more than one on “their side?”

Did you hear the audio accompanying the assassination that Chelsea Manning leaked? Evidently people who act in our name like killing people too.

19

Yeh, we screwed up and killed some innocent people. The ISIL people are rounding innocent people up to be massacred and proudly posting their deeds on social media. Talk to me about moral equivalence again.
