Kennison was right.


/RIP, you prophet.

What's that, not have another country invade their country for no particular reason and tear the place to shiat, making it so you can't go to the market because you may very well get blown the fark up?

RTFA dork, Iraq has imported food for a long time. The ministry is notorious for importing bad food.

And while your at it, maybe Iraq should not have invaded Kuwait right? Maybe they should have fought their own revolution to displace the tyrant in charge. Maybe they shouldnt base their culture on tribalism, maybe they shouldnt participate in such a backwards frickin religion, maybe they should reverse a thousand years of stupidity in their region instead of trying to blame it all on america while they are simultaneously asking for our money to fix the problem.

Honestly we are like the plumber who arrives at the house to find the owner has used concrete to clean the pipes. When we tear the pipe out and replace it the owner becomes angry that the bill was too high and blames the plumber.

Clean your own damned dirty toilets and leave our money out of it.

/its early so my flame mojo is low

The problem is dependence on someone else for your food supply.

Isn't this closer to the truth?

This is a totally accurate analogy, if the plumber kills half of the family and demolishes half of the house in the process of replacing the pipe.

But hey, they're just a bunch of ungrateful sand people, amirite?

Let them eat pork rinds!

If they get hungry enough they'll eat it.

Time to learn to grow your own food.

Well, WTFDYW has postulated such a compelling argument, I'm now questioning my entire worldview.

I'd like to hear more. Is there any way I could possibly get and invite or guest subscription to DERPGARBL Monthly?

That, and they never called for a plumber in the first place.

archichris: Clean your own damned dirty toilets and leave our money out of it.

Yeah, IF ONLY the US had actually listened to all those throngs of people who were begging the US to yes, please DO stay the fark out of Iraq.

But alas, the US didn't listen.

Maybe a good waterboarding would make them more appreciative.

Christ, why are we even in that region? No, it's not oil. We don't even get that much oil from the MidEast. We get about 12% of our oil from the MidEast. It's farking Israel. And no, that's not anti-Semetic. It's anti-country that's playing us like farking fiddles. As for the Iraqis, bombard them with pork bombs and get our mena and women out of there.

You're a dork, dork.

As Iraq Surplus Rises, Little Goes Into Rebuilding

"Soaring oil prices will leave the Iraqi government with a cumulative budget surplus of as much as $79 billion by year's end, according to an American federal oversight agency. But Iraq has spent only a minute fraction of that on reconstruction costs, which are now largely borne by the United States."

The article I quote from is over a year old, but I think that it is still germane to the discussion that will probably ensue.

demanton: germane

Is that anything like being blinded with science?

When China takes over the world, I hope you all like Chinese food.

Subby is a cock-face. The people are unhappy with the fact that the central government is importing shiatty spoiled food.

Let me break this down to you and your fellow mouth breathers:

1) The Iraqi central government is responsible for purchasing the food from various countries.
2) Corrupt dickholes in the Trade ministry buy absolute shiat food from another dickhole. They charge the state the full price.
3) Dickhole at the Trade ministry gets a kickback.

People aren't "ungrateful" for food, like your troll headline would lead someone to believe. They are just tired of the corruption which lines the pockets of officials at the trade ministry and leaves them with bags of food with dead rodents in it.

So yeah, I could see how someone could be "unhappy" about that.

Howie Spankowitz: archichris:

You sound like you have a religion that you think isn't backwards... isn't that cute. Fundy religious conservatives are all the same, regardless of which backward religion they bow to, both are backwards.

Well, taxpayer money already pays for the bullets and bombs to kill them. Should they stop complaining about that, too?

I read threads like this, and you Farkers get closer and closer to convincing me to just abandon the middle east to its own fate.

Maybe we should get out of Afghanistan and Iraq. Leave the bastards to fester. If they can't put a peaceful, honest government in place, then they can't. If they attack our interests, we blow them to hell and back, from the sky, without risking as many American lives. Fark UN sanctions, fark strongly worded letters. On our way out, we air drop a billion flyers over each country, letting them know that if one of them attacks US interests, they will all pay for it, dearly. Maybe then they will police themselves and root out the jackasses that want to crash planes into towers and what-not.

Yeah, I know, broad brush and all that, but seriously, fark them all. We've got enough of our own shiat to deal with.

Truncks1: When China takes over the world, I hope you all like Chinese food.

Wouldn't it just be called food then?

Why oh why oh why should we give two sh*ts about the Middle East? Dear God, just let these assholes kill each other!

Kinnison.... with an "I"

Occam's Nailfile: Maybe we should get out of Afghanistan and Iraq.

We elected a president who promised to get us out of Iraq. Unfortunately, he wants to keep tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in Iraq indefinitely.

FTFA - "said her family does not depend on the food rations that they get from the government. Her family is not rich, and they choose to sell the rations in the market"

That's true, but it doesn't sound as good.

The people of Iraq were not given an opportunity to talk Saddam out of it.

I thought you did quite well.

Christ! Ungrateful farkers.

We go to all the trouble to invade their country, kill off 100,000 people, build a permanent Forbidden City in the middle of their capitol and plunge the country into a civil war that will leave it scarred and in a position to end up with a worse dictator than Saddam was in the first place (assuming we don't just generously install a tyrannical Shah), and they have the nerve to complain about the spoiled rations our satrap provides them?

Imagine!

Dude, what does Alabama have to do with TFA?

Hi. I'm a Republican. I think we have every right to invade another country, overthrow its leadership and destabilize its economy without ANY ongoing responsibility to the citizens there. And I'll say this with a straight face without any hint of how stupid I sound.

The Dog Ate The Constitution

I'm sorry. Are you even hinting that the original government was... better? If so, you are an idiot misguided. Corruption is a way of life in the Middle East, to a degree we in the West can never comprehend. Prevaricating to and cheating one of us infidels is a positive thing in their books. We really have no business trying to assist these cavemen to drag their lives into anything close to the 21st century.

Let them rot.

I wrote out a pretty long post explaining in detail the history of the region and why you are a farking a moron, by the. I realized: you are a farking moron.

My time would be much better spent praying to Santa claus that you get removed from the gene pool in some slow and violent manner.

Or, maybe some of you could actually read the article, instead of grabbing your flag-tattooed Patriot Scrote® and railing against government spending and ungrateful Iraqis.

"Corruption at the Baghdad Trade Ministry is an important issue in Iraq because the ministry is in charge of the food-rationing system on which 60 percent of Iraqis depend. Officials at the ministry, which spends billions of dollars buying rice, sugar, flour, and other items, are notorious among Iraqis for importing food that is unfit for human consumption for which they charge the state the full international price."

Imagine that. The Iraqi government -- absent any funding from the United States Government -- is buying substandard food for Iraqis while paying full "no, there are no dead mice in this food" prices for it. Christ, subby. You didn't even try to read or understand the article

WWJD

FTA:
rations come from many countries including Egypt, Iran, the United States, Canada, Germany, Australia, and Germany.
The Oil for Food Program established by the United Nations in 1995 allowed Iraq to sell oil on the world market in exchange for food, medicine, and other humanitarian needs for ordinary Iraqi

This has little to do with the invasion by the U.S. in 2003.
So those of you who think "because the U.S. broke it, they need to fix it" should realize this was going on before the U.S. invaded.

They never should have started a war with us.

The OP claimed it was people's fault if they couldn't put a stable government together, to which I replied they weren't the ones that removed out the previous leaders from power. I said nothing of the quality of the former leaders or their policies. Thanks for playing though. Nice ad hominem thrown in for flavor ,too.
