I almost got in fistacuffs with a high ranking army NCO over there right after they killed him. I said "Great, now the craziest, baddest fuckers you can ever imagine will take over." The bullet spounge said something along the lines of freedom and democracy will rise. I told him he was in the Army because they want stupid people who would believe that.
Ten year to the dqy who is in charge? Yep, the craziest baddest fuckers you could ever imagine. I'm guessing that bullet spounge is doing well in his single wide somewhere making $10.00 at Whataburger. Twenty years from now he'll wear an OIF hat to Wal-Mart.
Two trips over there and we couldn't even get control of OPEC. Pathetic.

Even Bush's dad knew taking out Saddam was dumb. The excuse Bush junior made was that Saddam was harboring and working with these dudes. Reality is, they didn't enter Iraq until Saddam was dead. Not to mention that you can't force democracy on a country, it needs to want democracy.
In other words, it's FS to force our values on others.

If he were still in power, definitely no ISIS.
I've said multiple times in the past week I'd take Saddam back.
It seems like everytime we take out some fuckhead out there a worse one takes their place.
I can't imagine anyone more fucked up than ISIS but I never thought we'd see a movement this fucked up in my lifetime either.
It's why I don't pretend to know what the fuck we should do. My instinct is to want the US to blow ISIS off the map, but who steps up into their place? I'm pretty much at the point of thinking the only resolutions to the Middle East are: a) nuke the shit out of it (The @Swaye Way) b) take them out and then occupy Iraq for at least 50 years.
Of course, neither of those solutions are tenable politically. Which means there is no option.
The Middle East is just fucked.

I wouldn't take Saddam back, but I wouldn't have completely destroyed his regime either.

Your assuming none the other dictators would have fallen either. Libya and Syria are fueling this as much as Iraq. History always marches on.
I don't deal in hypotheticals. If we had backed Hitler the Soviet empire doesn't exist Afghanistan doesn't get invaded OBL doesn't rise and Dixon doesn't hurt his knee

Just wait until I take my army and invade the tug. Take it over, rape and pillage, then bail. See ISIS take over the tug after that.
You're not going to reconstruct the Tug and make it into a democracy with sig pics, etc.?

I have no idea what the plans for ISIS are.
