You don't know shit about Iraq - Page 4

Dude you get a bad rap in this, dump your management and get some new PR, update your image, it would help a lot.

Weel no, it's not, they're armed and organized, chances are it's a bunch of pissed off 20-30y.o men who have few chances of improving their lot and cannot speak out against the US-backed house of Saud so have come under the wing of an afghan-wars trained mujadideen fighter with an axe to grind, at least that's the closest we have to a profile.

It is very true that I don't know shit about Iraq but I do know this- I'm experiencing a murderous rage for the motherfuckers beheading civilian hostages.
It's senseless and merciless. I imagine the impact the footage has on the families and the sheer frustration of their respective governments.
These people need to be identified and put down.

I wouldn't say it's senseless per se, if you consider their goals, methods and limitations, I'd say it was pretty sensible. That said, it's still deplorable of course.

Here. Let me through some irrational thoughts into the mix.

1.) The (elite) media screwed the pooch with the 911 comission mis-headline.

2.) There is limited sympathy to be gained by beheading Americans in Iraq. Johnson was an engineer, not a "contractor" that would normally be spooking around under the radar of the US mil.

3.) After the handoff on the 30th, the new Iraqi government will be kicking ass and taking names like the US *should be* now, but cant due to "public opinion".

but then again, I'm just some drooling dumbass without a brain.

Yeah? Them and what army? I mean that literally. After the US spent so much time hunting down former Baathists, a group which included most of the senior military, what capable leaders are there who aren't already running competing militias?

The new government will have zero street cred.

Last I heard from the reams of contradictory information from the US administration, the US military in Iraq will be under the control of the Iraqi government. They will even hold Saddam in the airport for and under the control of the Iraqi government. Enough misinformation so that honest people cannot criticize the US government until it is a done deal - whatever that will be.

Hmmm. So apparently it’s “Them” and “Our” army. For how long? Don’t like it, don’t like it one bit.
