Way to go Obama.

Sybarite: Like a flan in a cupboard?

Eins, zwei, eins, zwei...

If Obama didn't go back in time and force Bush to start the Iraq War, none of this would have happened.

When they run out of oil?

Afghanistan will be the same way, pretty much the only time the afghans stop killing each other is when there are foreigners around to kill.

Stand or fall, it's a matter for the Iraqi people to work out now.

/Sovereign nation is sovereign.

My headline was better and yet almost exactly the same.

/not that I'm bitter
//you thief

Meh, they'll work it out and when the dust settles one of them will run things and it will be some form of government we like or don't like and depending on how that comes out, the American people will be pissed as shiat about something like that being allowed again... for a few generations at least.

I hear the new guy is already starting construction on his palace. Got his family lined up for some cabinet posts as well.

Wonder why they need all those tanks and soldiers in Baghdad?

Wait, you're telling me that farking with the governments in the Middle East DOESN'T WORK? It's always worked so well in the past, and has never bitten us in the ass before.

When your Prime Minister looks like this, you know your shiat is effed

When the system is rigged with corruption to begin with what do you expect??

Perfect way to end the biggest, most expensive corporate dine and dash in history.

Smells like victory.

I'm sorry - remind me of a time when that region was stable.

That was an $800,000,000,000 well spent.

A chance is you can hope for in this life.

Should have done this years ago.

Just a few strokes in the great farking of america.

Lets wait until there is another bad guy there and go get him, too.

Sounds like a Job Creator.

Oh Hai guys, miss me yet?

I can't wait until that whole area is a radioactive wasteland. It's coming, mark my words. Between Iran and Israel, someone's going to launch.

It was never our intent to sent up a stable govt. in that country. Any country with three "tribes" of people is never going to be stable. Especially when the big difference is how they all practice the same religion.

So a Vice President allegedly plots to destabilize his country to advance his personal beliefs, and they decide to hold him accountable?

Methinks Americans could learn from their example....

My money is that the shi'ites take over and turn the country into another sharia theocracy where the women are oppressed and forced to wear burqas and give up all the freedom and rights that they enjoyed under Saddam's rule and our occupation.

Yeah, but the arms manufacturers made out like bandits, and that's what really counts, right?

I wonder if foreign policy should be decided by the general ignorant populace's current fashion of opinion or should we use D&D dice?

Peter Galbraith - former U.S. diplomat: January 2003 the President invited three members of the Iraqi opposition to join him to watch the Super Bowl. In the course of the conversation the Iraqis realized that the President was not aware that there was a difference between Sunni and shiate Muslims. He looked at them and said, "You mean...they're not, you know, there, there's this difference. What is it about?"

Did we ever get paid back for the war costs from the oil proceeds, or did everyone in Washington forget about that?

Kinda' woulda' made sense, since that whole region is an uncivilized craphole and it woulda' been nice to at least make them pay for their chance at election freedoms & the rule of law.

/Real law, not Sharia garbage.

So we fark their country up in 16 different ways and they owe us?

I'd say they owe us for 9/11, but that's just me.

Freedom Isn't Free, according to faded bumper stickers printed in China plastered on SUVs.
