From Obama's comments (cue the ridicule), he said things have been devolving over there for awhile and we offered the Iraqis our assistance, but they turned it down.

Again, frick al-Maliki. Wouldn't bother me one bit if ISIS beheaded that dickhead in the middle of goddamned Baghdad.

Well it wasn't a war zone when I got here so it'll be discussed when I get back to town

This is what I was originally talking about. War is financed through debt, not the income tax.

And I do pay income taxes btw.

It's a shame it took American lives and treasure for us to realize that.

Golly, it's a shame that the greatest and most well-educated Generals and military in the history of man just couldn't seem to figure it out.
If only this hadn't been the first war ever fought, maybe.....just maybe, there would have been some history to rely on.

From the rumor mill:

BREAKING - IRAQ PM MALIKI DEAD AFTER ATTACK ON MILITARY BASE IN SAMARRA (UNCONFIRMED) (via @RamiAlLolah citing activists)



LINK to the Twitter account. Apparently there was a mortar round on the base that hit building/bunker where Maliki was holding a meeting and then several helicopters rolled in

Yeah, I'm not believing that one. Maliki's bitch arse is in the deepest bunker in Baghdad.
Wait, you're not first in the propaganda line, holding the biggest and sturdiest spoon ever built?

I'm going to have to sit down.

I'm not seeing reports of Maliki anywhere else. I highly doubt he has been killed.

There could be a live feed of an ISIS guy shooting Maliki in the head while Maliki is holding his passport and a most recent DNA test confirming it is actually him and you still would dismiss it as propaganda from the elite

Yeah, stupid career military folk wasting their whole lives when they could have just come to this board and gotten all their answers from you.
Wouldn't have even had to get up off the couch. Dumbasses.

I tend to agree, but who knows. They did capture 6 Black Hawk helicopters from Mosul ( LINK)


Also a few more people are starting to tweet about Maliki being held in the base and the base is under attack. LINK

I don't have any real answers.

I just have half-formed opinions.

IDGAF about Maliki. I'm worried about our people over there. I think we need to be doing everything in our power to get them out at this point.
