Because we have freedom, we should die at the hands of tyrants and terrorists. That's brainwashing. The inability to see that terrorists are not good guys, that they don't have justification for targeting innocents (they don't just target us, you know, you fucking moron. They target people indiscriminately. They kill their own children and women, for God's sake).
I suggest that if you're going to play with the big boys, you take a deep breath to make sure your tiny pea brain is fully oxygenated, and think for yourself, instead of mindlessly regurgitating the pap you've been fed by anti-American, terrorist-supporting pieces of shit who think it's cute to bad mouth the very country that allows you to speak at all. |
I'd just be content with some form of consistency from the White House. We've been told that the US isn't in charge there, that it's Maliki's gov't and that the Iraqis make the decisions. But when stuff like this comes out they shrug it off or brush it aside. Double-speak all around.
It's like the surge ... before the surge we couldn't leave because things were going so badly and now the narrative has flipped to we can't leave now because thing are going so well.
