Those "causes" must have happened in previous universes.

They're more like 70% in the north, which is their base. The goal, I'm sure, is to hold onto what they've taken, and agitate for a separate state, and they're probably promising the Kurds that they can have one too. The only mystery at this point is how much of Syria they want to hang on to.

Not that they have a snowball's chance in hell of success, but that is what they think they're doing, and nobody's got the will and resources to boot them out. So, we're loooking at another shitty, de facto theocracy, much like the Taliban have in their hellhole corner of Pakistan. Difference being that our drones will actually be invited in, to serially pick off the leadership. The only possible end game is armed rebellion by the locals, and that's going to take a while.

This also explains how Allen West made captain, much less Lt Col.

Not on Fox. In the No-Spin Zone, all things since January 2009 are the fault of President Obama. In fact, history began on January 20 of that year, and any pre-existing universes obviously must have ceased to be on January 19th.

Tell this bunch we are going back to Iraq but KB&R along with Halliburton can not participate and watch them decide to fuck Iraq and the camel's they rode in on.Also too make it mandatory that any politician voting for a return to war has with their yes vote automatically enlisted every family member of fighting age for the duration of the war in the fighting zones and we would never fight another damn war unless it was on our own shores

Nah… silly lieburl.

BENGHAZI!!1!! doesn't count anymore because Barry had to go and destroy 'Murkia by arresting that dude to help Hillz book sales.

The latest "gotcha now - IMPEECH!!!1!" is Bamz crashed Lerner's 'puter to hide all the emails they sent to their minions about destroying real patriot free speeeech.

Also too Eric (if that is even his real name) is disparaging their asparagus by not publicly stoning Lerner on the WH lawn.

You are being incredibly generous. I'm less forgiving.

I won't be satisfied until they are frog marched into the Hague, plead guilty & are sentenced to 100 years hard labor in Iraq. I wouldn't even rule out a little eye for an eye water boarding. THEN they can apologize.

We were against Cheney before we were against him or something.

GOP congresscritters are so fond of telling us what the Prez shouldn't be doing that now that they are entirely responsible for deciding & telling us what should be done they are gladly handing the mic to their predecessors.

God forbid they fuck up as badly as Bush, Inc. did or they just might lose the house, senate & WH. ooohhh hahahaha! I'm kidding, they still have plenty of money to buy their seats.

Don't forget the ukelele solo.

Of course. I have the exact votes in mind. Probably need some pre-positioning, though.

This right here. Let the Shi'ites suppress the Sunnis on their own. We have no moral standing to try to decide who is right in this mess. (Hint: they are all various amounts of wrong).

As an aside, I'm having trouble understanding how a Sunni insurgency (representing maybe 15% of the population) can be doing so well militarily.

Now, they may be listening to him so as to do the opposite of whatever he says..
