I didn't mean to imply that Bush said that in a way that meant, permanently, and I don't think that's what I did. Anyway I doubt things would be the same under bush, I doubt W would have released thousands of iraqi prisoners, especially while we were still there. I doubt he would have made...

I think what ohms, captain etc are saying is: we should skip the nation building bullshit and wage war the way it is meant to be waged. Killing people and wrecking shit. That means we will have innocent blood on our hands, but it is what it is. I have to agree. If possible I wouldn't put...

Stating that things would have gone down the same if Bush was President, is just speculation.. but a possibility. The bottom line is that he did say this would happen if we left early.

^ is this like one of those posts where you're indirectly saying that because fox reported something, it isn't true?

The hated and despised W called this pretty much exactly, before the syrian civil war even began. He warned against pulling out of iraq and stated it would descend into chaos and become a breeding ground for terrorists. turns out he was correct. As far as our guberment supporting the...

The suspected head of ISIS is a cunt named Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, who took the reins of AQI after we killed al-zarqawi. He was a US PRISONER at camp bucca in iraq from 05-09. We had this guy locked up and our muslim-in-chief released him along with thousands of other prisoners before we left...

My condolences for your loss, and for your service. A disgrace to see all of our money and fellow citizens lives wasted in iraq just for them to flee their own land.

haha that is fucking sad. I guess you were right the other day about them running when they outnumbered isis 30:1. I don't care how good your opposition is, if you can't beat 4 guys with your 120, yer doing it wrong bros. isis lunatics are hardcore though, they just don't care about dying...

It's crazy, imagine a whole nation falling to radical muslims even worse than al qaeda. The iraqis are probably scared shitless because of what they have seen isis sand apes do. They set up fake checkpoints wearing iraqi army uniforms and arrest people they suspect of having helped us...

yeeeah our buddy fraudcunts has nothing but undying homo love for his lord obama. he is a true <s>believer</s> lemming.

this is pathetic if true, the US even trained these guys. The Kurds are another option to deal with ISIS, they fight with them now in the north of both iraq and syria. But backing anyone in the ME seems like it always leads to future problems. All I know is any of our war efforts should...

to my knowledge, iran is not actually engaging isis. they 'fight' by proxy using their shiite allies, hezbollah. Helping iran by accident is not a big deal to me, maybe it would even help build some goodwill between us/israel and iran/russia. Taking the other side (which we are at war with)...

what dilemma is that? i could give a shit about syria, but ISIS is directly responsible for American deaths. I would never for any reason help those rats, in fact i would bomb them everywhere they are in the world. in my opinion, helping them (even indirectly) is a traitorous act. ps. that...

Is is a good idea to you, or even ok with you as an American, that we would provide support to a group that splintered off the same group of radical muslims which killed 3000+ of our civilians as well as US soldiers in iraq.. for any reason, ever?

I've recently spent some time on live leak watching combat footage that can't be seen anywhere else, and ISIS scum have got to be the most ruthless fucks on the face of this planet. They were originally al qaeda in iraq, but were so extreme that AQ gave them the boot. This is the group taking...

I suspect its all made up garbage. Although you could be right because I believe they count 1hr of work per week as - employed. riiiiight. And don't be so thin-skinned. you tried to insult me first yesterday, btw.

I did search a little then I had to go take care of some stuff. Despite the world bank and ILO tracking employment information, they don't have what we were looking for. It seems they do track public sector employment. If so, we could get the private sector only ratio with the available info...

Well yea if what the cap posted is true, that changes the whole story lol. It's odd that in the report max linked, which was clearly biased against the homeowner, they didn't mention that he set a 'trap'.

I'll see if I can find something, I'm bored.

^ what would actually be interesting is a comparison of the private sector participation rate in these countries. govt jobs are net takers of tax revenue. I know this comment has nothing to do with the point you were trying to make.
