    Anybody remember "freedom fries" and "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" used by the childish Repugs and rightwingnut hate media to attack France for being strongly against the Repugs invading Iraq for oil?

    Germany in tandem with France was also strongly against the invasion.

    Germany and France were perfectly correct, and Repugs were disastrously wrong.

    the Repugs.

    Bill Clinton bombed Iraq for 8 years straight whenever it was politically expedient.

    So his wife will be different?

    The irony is Hillary is the actually the neo-con candidate the neo-cons can't nominate for the republican ticket but secretly hope wins.

    You Lie

    Clinton bombed Iraq once, in 1998, Operation Desert Fox.

    Where's your evidence that he bombed Iraq for 8 straight years?

    The neocons have been targeting several countries since the 90s to "secure American interests and promote American principles". Iraq and Libya have already been attacked. Syria is in progress, and after that they'll move on to some combination of Iran, Lebanon, Sudan.

    After the Libya and Syria episodes, Obama appears to have postponed the entanglement with Iran. But don't worry people, once Hillary or Rubio take office in 2017, the US, Saudi Arabia and Israel will resume the fun and games. The Presidential candidates who can resist the trend (Sanders, Paul) have no chance against the establishment.

    Clinton bombed Iraq repeatedly during his presidency. Three times with cruise missiles. There were several other military engagements as well.

    Some quick references from Wikipedia:

    1993:

    Between 1AM and 2AM local time on June 26/June 27, 1993, 23 Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched by two U.S. warships into downtown Baghdad.These hit a building which was believed to be the headquarters of the Iraqi Intelligence Service in the Al Mansur district of Baghdad. Iraq claimed that nine civilians were killed in the attack and three civilian houses destroyed. The missiles were fired from the destroyer USS Peterson in the Red Sea and the cruiser USS Chancellorsville in the Persian Gulf.[7]

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise...raq_%281993%29


    1996:

    The cruise missile strike was preliminarily planned to be by aircraft launched from the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70), including aircraft from Fighter Squadron 11 (VF-11) and Fighter Squadron 31 (VF-31), both operating F-14D Tomcats, Electronic Attack Squadron 139 (VAQ-139), operating EA-6B Prowlers, Attack Squadron 196 (VA-196), operating A-6E Intruders equipped with the Target Recognition and Attack Multi-Sensor (TRAM) system, Anti-Submarine Squadron 35 (VS-35) flying S-3B Vikings and Strike Fighter Squadron 113 (VFA-113) and Strike Fighter Squadron 25 (VFA-25), both operating F/A-18 Hornets. However, the strike instead was launched by U.S. Navy surface warships and U.S. Air Force bombers.

    On 3 September 1996, a joint operation by the U.S. Navy's Carl Vinson Carrier Battle Group and U.S. Air Force, a combined strike team consisting of the guided-missile cruiser USS Shiloh (CG-67), the guided-missile destroyer USS Laboon (DDG-58), and B-52 Stratofortress bombers escorted by F-14D Tomcat fighters from Carl Vinson, with the nuclear-powered guided-missile cruiser USS California (CGN-36) serving as Air Warfare Commander,[1] launched 27 cruise missiles against Iraqi air defense targets in southern Iraq.[2] A second wave of 17 missiles was launched later that day[3] from the destroyers USS Russell (DDG-59), USS Hewitt (DD-966), USS Laboon (DDG-58), and the nuclear-powered attack submarine USS Jefferson City (SSN-759). The missiles hit targets in and around Kut, Iskandariyah, Nasiriyah, and Tallil.[4]

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise...raq_%281996%29

    1998:

    U.S. Navy aircraft from Carrier Air Wing Three (CVW 3), flying from USS Enterprise (CVN-65), Carrier Air Wing Eleven (CVW 11), flying from USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70), and Patrol Squadron Four (PATRON FOUR), flew combat missions from the Persian Gulf in support of ODF. Of significance, the operation marked the first time that women flew combat sorties as U.S. Navy strike fighter pilots[7][8] and the first combat use of the U.S. Air Force's B-1B bomber from the 28th Air Expeditionary Group stationed at RAFO Thumrait, Sultanate of Oman. Ground units included the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable), of which 2nd Battalion 4th Marines served as the ground combat element; based from USS Belleau Wood (LHA-3) Amphibious Ready Group, which included USS Germantown (LSD-42) USS Dubuque (LPD-8). The U.S. Air Force sent several sorties of F-16s from the 34th Fighter Squadron, and 522nd Fighter Squadron into Iraq to fly night missions in support of Operation Desert Fox; they were based at Ahmed Al Jaber Air Base, Kuwait.

    On the second night of Operation Desert Fox, aircrews flying 12 B-52s took off from the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean and launched 74 conventional air launched cruise missiles (CALCMs). The missiles found their mark striking multiple Iraqi targets including six of President Saddam Hussein's palaces, several Republican Guard Barracks, and the Ministries of Defense and Military Industry. The following evening, two more B-52 crews launched 16 more CALCMs. Over a two-night period aircrews from the 2nd and 5th Bomb Wings launched a total of 90 CALCMs. The B-1 bomber also made its combat debut by striking at Republican Guard targets. Also on Dec. 17, USAF aircraft based in Kuwait participated, as did British Royal Air Force Tornado aircraft. The British contribution totaled 15 percent of the sorties flown in Desert Fox.[9]

    By December 19, U.S. and British aircraft had struck 97 targets, and Secretary of Defense William Cohen claimed the operation was a success. Supported by Secretary Cohen, as well as United States Central Command commander General Anthony C. Zinni and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Henry H. Shelton, President Bill Clinton declared "victory" in Operation Desert Fox. In total, the 70-hour campaign saw U.S. forces strike 85 percent of their targets, 75 percent of which were considered "highly effective" strikes. More than 600 sorties were flown by more than 300 combat and support aircraft, and 600 air dropped munitions were employed, including 90 air launched cruise missiles and 325 Tomahawk land attack missiles (TLAM). Operation Desert Fox inflicted serious damage to Iraq's missile development program, although its effects on any WMD program were not clear. Nevertheless, Operation Desert Fox was the largest strike against Iraq since the 1990-1991 Persian Gulf War, until the commencement of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

    I know many of you will scoff at this, but I believe the best news source for terrorist related activities will be Aljazeera. They understand the culture better than western journalists.

    I give you these:

    Al Jazeera is an Arab/Qatari news organization. Its basically the news organization of the guys that fund ISIS.

    now don't get me wrong. i do read them sometimes. But you have to take their opinions with a block (not a grain) of salt

    Can't disagree with this. Doesn't mean ISIS funders own Al Jazeera tbqh.

    Western reporters are possibly the worst type of reporters but this is mainly because their audience is the dumbest

    LOL...

    I hate to, but I must completely agree that we, as a general audience, are really dumb.

    Aljajeera is controlled by Sheikh Hamad bin Thamer Al Thani, in Qatar. Qatar is the most influential of the middle eastern counties, and has is the richest country per capita in the world. Aljazeera may be one reason for that.

    Though they are entrenched in Wahhabi culture and Sharia law, they have been recognizing other global aspects. I firmly believe that they are a culture that will naturally come around to more western like ideals as time goes by.

    Though this is from 2011, Qatar is allowing their women unveiled:

    http://chronicle.augusta.com/sports/...-2012-olympics

    Allowed to be photographed unveiled:



    Prominent roles in speaking on behalf of Qatar:



    Please don't assume Aljazeera is biased towards typical islamic beliefs.

    It is the better off Islamic/Muslim countries, that are not entrenched in terrorism, that are becoming more western. Every time we help in destabilizing these regions, the longer natural changes will occur.

    "It is the better off Islamic/Muslim countries, that are not entrenched in terrorism"

    Wahhabis are allowed, even protected terrorist Muslim sect in wealthy Saudi Arabia which supposedly source of funds to Sunni terrorists fighting Shia.

    Bahrain is a merciless dictatorship, where they allowed, with US silence, Saudi Arabia, using US-weapons, to crush the Arab spring in Bahrain.

    Poverty is a root cause of "reasonable" Muslims looking for any money even from terrorist organizations. But wealth in a Muslim country is not sufficient when the Muslim rulers are extremists, or enable/protect extremism.
