Goodness, I can't believe professional organizations like the BBC and VOA can't get their licenses in order! I hope they fix that soon.

Remind me why we invaded these idiots?

Something about oil I think.

Remind me why we invaded these idiots?

So they would have the freedom to order women to undergo virginity tests.

...they have not been properly licensed.

The student becomes the master.

Oh, I don't know, I think Iraq learning rent-seeking and corruption from us is like Thornton Mellon learning business from Dr. Phillip Barbay.

Wow, what a bastion of economic freedumb that shitpot is. Good thing we spent a trillion dollars liberating it.

Your papers, please...

Elections have consequences.

[Shirley Knott]

I think you mean invasions have consequences.

Irrelevant. The elections comment means (IMO) that there is no magical freedomland that comes as a result of simply setting up supposedly democratic institutions.

just look how well that same experiment is working here these days.

On the bright side, I see yesterday that Iran is upping it's belligerence, threatening to close down oil routes, having war games, sending agents to africa to cause mischief......

Iran will be Iraq x 10.

[wareagle]

And why wouldn't Iran become more belligerent: they know Obama is not going to do a damn thing to stop them, and they have China/Russia on their side.

A better case could be made that, if anything, Obama is a sympathizer. He does not particularly like Israel, like Iran. He could give a shit of the oil supply is threatened; as Obama has stated, his own energy desires would "necessarily" causes prices to increase.

Sometimes you just gotta throw your hands up in the air and just not care!
