Iraqis Are Pissed That Trump Said The US Might Try To Seize Their Oil, Again

“There’s no way Trump could take the oil unless he launched a new military front and it be a new world war,” said Kareem Kashekh, a photographer who works for the Popular Mobilization Units, a new branch of Iraq’s armed forces consisting of former militiamen and volunteers fighting against ISIS.
“He cannot do it. He cannot succeed,” said Dawoud Ali, a 30-year-old Baghdad resident and a member of Ansar al-Aghida, one of the Shiite militias fighting against ISIS. “Of course I would fight the Americans if they came for the oil.”
Trump’s comments risk relations with a key player in the US-led war against ISIS. Iraq is currently the primary US partner in the war against ISIS, with the democratically elected government of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and members of the country’s various sectarian and ethnic communities fighting the jihadi group.

Haven't they realized we can take them over at will?

I took it as he meant maybe we will get another chance to cut off funding to ISIS.

That nation has been twice rolled by the US in recent history... does he actually think they could stop us if we wanted to turn the place into a glass parking lot?

It took us 21 days last time.
I bet we can cut the time down in half.

What exactly would the point of that be? Did people actually expect the Iraqis to be okay with the insinuation?

Why did you start a thread saying you were going to take a break, then not do it?

It was a decently weaved stretch. And frankly I don't give a shite if the few Iraqis represented in that article are now upset in some way. I'm pissed that they can't get their shite together so we can get the duck out of that 3rd world shithole.

The invasion was easy. I was there. It was the occupation that sucked.,

Yeah, Obama fricked that up bigly. All those stupid wars were a done deal. Obama pulled out alright. So many died in vain because Obama didn't wear a rubber and pulled out too soon.
