AURaptor 1,125 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Not shutting up & you trying to tell anyone else what they " know " is laughable. Don't start yapping about stuff you can't back up. " I'm on my phone " is a bs excuse . Either wait till you can cite something or zip it. You have nothing.

cole256 17,084 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Roger that. Keep fighting the good fight. I'll just leave you with a quote from Napoleon. “There is no place in a fanatic's head where reason can enter.” ― Napoléon Bonaparte I grow tired of the arrogance.

cole256 17,084 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Thanks for confirming my comment. Bush isn't the President, Obama is. but now you've up the ante because you think you could bully me into the conversation. By pointing out the facts ? If that threatens you, then you've got other issues. Yes, I'll mention HUDS, because it was and remains a lie. It never happened. A kid got violent and stupidly attacked a cop. He paid for it with his life. He's a tragic symbol, but not a hero, by any stretch of the imagination. ( And yet, they want to place a plaque where he died, in memorial, for a guy who died by his own actions ) How did you call me out on the Stephen Smith thread ? Must have been a real feather in your cap for you to cling to that one. cole - you have this running theme where you think anyone who voices an opinion that's not yours is threatening your or trying to bully the conversation. Why is that ? I'm not going to shut up. Keep typing that if it makes you feel better, but it's not gonna happen. One of the handles that was joked was lie too much or something like that I said that handle would already be taken so can't be used Oh, so you're going back to the whole 'Bush lied ' crap, huh? This from a guy who believed HUDS, I guess. Yeah, real hi-larious. Lie of the Year: 'If you like your health care plan, you can keep it' Stay ever so distracted. You didn't say I bought into it??

AURaptor 1,125 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Cole - you brought it up for what reason then ? You didn't believe it. Fine I stand corrected. Dont call me a liar for naturally concluding if you mention HUDS, you did so because you thought it happened. Well both agree it didn't . I may have been wrong, I didn't lie. Learn the difference.

AURaptor 1,125 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 I recall the SA Smith / Brady issue, but it clearly was a bigger deal to you. I don't recall you calling me out. It was such a minor matter. Here's my last comment in that thread... cole256, on 25 April 2015 - 05:25 PM, said:What do you want besides a yeah it was wrong? Also anybody have a link besides this conservative site saying he called Brady a racist? He doesn't. But he angrily insinuates... something. Not real sure what. Brady was there for 3 other visits to the WH, all when W was in office, but not Obama ? Draw your own conclusions. All SA Smith STATED was the reason may be politics, but that Brady should have respected the office, which is reasonable. And yes, Brady isn't like anyone else on the team, which was SA's point. Or one of them. He kinda went off the rail a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarTim 3,456 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 aufaninga - your ignorance astounds. ISIS Is more than a mere "small" army. ISIS has a functioning govt, and makes millions of $'s a day from black market oil sales. That $ goes to pay for supplies and paying soldiers wages. As they also supply them w/ a steady stream of women to rape. Or marry, as they see fit. The women don't get much of a vote in this matter. Now, with 1 million more people to recruit, torture, execute, rape... you think they'll just stop ? Still waiting your half of the bargain. No, according to Raptor's logic, Obama's twitter account was a deliberate effort to distract attention from the fall of Ramadi, thus making the two events connected or related. Understand? I swear, I feel dumber for just typing it. Congrats, i do feel dumber for reading it... It's not MY logic, kiddies, it's how Obama actually views the world. You think that the twitter account and Josh Earnest's " hair on fire " comments aren't insights as to how this admin views the world AND the American public ?? If that's the case, y'all are more asleep than I thought. More like blissfully ignorant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUUSN 823 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 The U.S. Must Prepare for the Dissolution of Iraq When the United States waded into Iraq, it hoped that this precarious political entity could hang on in part as a barrier to Iran. After the removal of Saddam in 2003, Washington encouraged Baghdad to develop an inclusive government balancing the interests of its component ethnic groups and sects. This was a long shot from the beginning. The only chance for it to work would have been if Iraq had had a grace period of stability and economic growth, and somehow stumbled into an effective, inclusive government. Unfortunately, neither happened. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s regime simply swapped domination by a minority group for domination by the majority Shiite Arabs. Then the chaos in neighboring Syria spread to Iraq and undercut everything. http://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/articles/15123/the-u-s-must-prepare-for-the-dissolution-of-iraq# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUUSN 823 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Iraqi forces have reportedly retaken territory from the Islamic State (IS) militant group just east of the town of Ramadi. The French agency AFP cites unnamed commanders as saying the operation was launched early on May 23 to retake Husaybah, a few kilometers east of the Anbar provincial capital. It was the government's first counterattack since Ramadi fell a week ago, in what's been called the worst setback at the hands of IS militants in a year. http://www.rferl.org/content/iraq-islamic-state-anbar-province/27032541.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quietfan 233 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 But the big deal....Ramadi....still remains in ISIS hands and they captured a few more smaller towns today. That is true, Ramadi remains in ISIS hands.But I'm hoping this is the beginning of a counter offensive by Iraqi forces emboldened and embarrassed by their panicked retreat. I also notice that AUUSN's RFE link reports: It was the government's first counterattack since Ramadi fell a week ago, in what's been called the worst setback at the hands of IS militants in a year. Meanwhile, eyewitnesses and unnamed officials say government forces, backed by local militiamen, also engaged with IS militants further to the east, near the town of Khaldiya. News agencies say Iraqi government troops successfully repulsed an attack there by IS fighters. The reports could not be independently confirmed. ...just hoping Iraqi government troops are growing some backbone.Also, this report claims no U.S. trained Iraqi government troops were part of the fight/flight that lost Ramadi: http://www.washingto...article/2564777 Maybe we are seeing or will see a difference with well-trained troops. Just personally trying to take a "glass half full" approach. Ultimately, however, Iraqi government, moderate Sunnis, Shia militias, and Kurdish forces have to either agree to work together or agree to go their separate ways. There can't be a stable unified Iraq unless those those groups cooperate, and maybe they shouldn't try to be a single nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
