    There is also the American oil execs that they still have in custody. I don't think it looks too great for them. Then again, maybe a coup will save them.

    Explain to me again why invading the shit out of Iraq was OK ""To get rid of a madman oppressing his people"", but we can't go in & take this tincup hat mofo?

    Hell, they even have a shitload of oil.

    McCabe and Company could show these dipshits that coups are best served inside out vs. outside in. Et tu Brute?

    I always wondered by why we are covert on on side of the world and overt on the other. Odd.

    Risk vs reward. Iraq has a geographical stratgic location to Mid East oil and it provided another front for the Russians to deal with.

    You want to Police every 4th world mess?

    Nope. Some logical consistency would be nice, though.

    I'm sure it all IS logical when one has all the facts. We don't.

    Iraq was not about the oil, per se...it was about protecting the Petro Dollar....Saddam announced that he was going to accept other forms of payment other than the US dollar....bam...USA is going in!!

    This was also prior to the invention of fracking....US, other than protecting the Petro Dollar, has zero reasons to invade a country for its actual oil...

    Steeltoe What's my move?

    Oh we're definitely gonna hit the ground. I bet clandestine ops are already there preparing for it. Russia supports one guy, we support the other? Yeah that ain't gonna fly.

    Ok. Why did the Russians go into Afghanistan? Why did we suppor the Taliban in the 80s again?

    True. It has some, but not as much as the middle east has available right now. And there is something to be said about where its location in relation to our other strategic interests.

    Other dems are calling for the people to starve just because Trump wants to help them.
