Freedom of expression. :tu

[cheguevara]

Expect the same thing to happen in Afghanistan, Iran or any other country where USA invaded and killed with the bullshit excuse of "spreading democracy"

[Stringer_Bell]

If the Liberals would have stayed out of the war planning and strategy in Iraq, and LISTENED TO THE GENERALS, our soldiers wouldn't have failed to win the peace and make Iraq love us.

Now look what we got - no oil, lots of dead soldiers, and a lot of angry little brown kids that are pissed we killed their parents at the neighbor's wedding.

They did not fail. And don't forget war was started and active for quite a few years before Obama. I support troops 1000%.

"If the Liberals would have stayed out of the war planning and strategy in Iraq"

libs NEVER had/have control of Iraq strategy. Iraq was a huge neocon/MIC/oilco lie,and the neocons botched Iraq totally while starving Afghanistan of military.

Seems like the same shit with VIETNAM rinse and repeat, fck these idiots who stay at home talkin out of their asses when there are soldiers fightin in wars protecting their way of freedom. Those are the same idiots i see running,hiding or betraying when war comes onto their doorstep.

[boutons_deux]

"fightin in wars protecting their way of freedom"

ha, US "fightin wars" is all about making the world safe for US corps, not freedom or democracy.

"war comes onto their doorstep"

VN and Iraq was USA bogusly taking the war to others' doorsteps.

You have to be fool to join the military for "patriotic, freedom-defending" reasons if you really understood how US botched VN and Afganistan and lied its way into Iraq.

maybe it had something to do with this:

[mingus]

as with all other protests in the middle east, there's not one women in the crowd. it's hard to know what Iraqi's really think of us when 50% of its population can't speak.

If asked who they want American soldiers or Iraqi Army, majority would wish we never left.

[Winehole23]

maybe it's time to liberate Iraq from its democratically elected leaders

blackwater/xe is now renamed and trying to get back into Iraq.

[Oh, Gee!!]

Well then, maybe we should commit our troops indefinitely. What's another trillion annually?

They were quite happy to get rid of Saddam.

They were quite unhappy with the grabasstic mess that we were obviously unprepared for afterwards that meant we had to be there for eight years cleaning up.

at least they were not dragging those 2 american soldiers through the ground. That is a step in the right direction.

Aren't you glad you supported George W. Bush and the war he started and Obama is ending? Nice call, CC.

Your point? People burn flags here. They're just trying to be more like us.

[cheguevara]

:lol you can't make this shit up

Iraq, the US's model democracy sides with Assad regime

And what is the posture of the Iraqi regime toward the Arab Spring, specifically next door in Syria, which is currently the hottest front line in the confrontation between freedom and authoritarianism? Maliki is maintaining a distinctively friendly posture toward the Assad regime, while that regime is gunning down protestors in Syrian cities. He has urged the protestors not to “sabotage” the regime and has recently hosted an official Syrian delegation. The would-be lead domino, far from inspiring freedom in a neighboring country, is on the side opposing freedom.

Thats actually a good answer if you truly believe it, blue text notwithstanding.

:lol
Bush ended it. All BHO did was pull out all the troops just in time for an election bump.

The reality here to me says this is just a function of fervent religion. The Middle East represents religion at its most righteous.

Lines are drawn even among common believers. Everyone must think like you, especially as it pertains to the questions around death and the hereafter.

Beyond that point...

Maliki, I imagine, has had to reach out to its neighbors as new players in the grand game, all the while knowing the US's presence was not absolute. It would and has ended ('cept for that big ol' embassy) with Maliki being the voice of Iraq wanting just that.

In order to earn credibility among that political geography, in my estimation, a nation must choose a side so to speak. I am quite sure Iraq's neighbors want the US out of the region, the quicker the better,
