    LOL perhaps you need some more time to understand that we don't bend the knee when someone kills Americans. We've been very passive with all the attacks on drones, ships and others but you kill an American for no reason you get the tip of the sword. Sorry we're not one of the wussy European countries that apologize when their citizens are killed. Young we are but also the world's most compassionate, giving and the worlds biggest protector of the innocent. you want to cry about a terrorist that has killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people go right ahead we won't lose an ounce of sleep about it.

    Difference is (and it’s a huge difference) that you are dealing with Shiites. These people have been stepped on and disrespected for centuries. The worst of the worst has already happened to them, long ago, and killing their general simply increases their resolve, and lends further credence to the cruelness and disrespect of their enemies.

    This is what happens when you don’t put someone who is educated in a place of power. American coal miners really should have no say in international politics. They’re too stupid.

    I don’t claim to know the hearts of men.

    Yeah, the American invasion of Iraq was the epitome of compassion and mercy. /sarcasm

    American needs to extricate themselves from the Muslim dumpster fire countries, and let the Shiites and Sunnis get back to the business of doing what they love the most, slaughtering each other like bloodthirsty animals.

    I'm not sure what country you're from but we've probably saved it's ass at one time or another.

    Not surprised you defend terrorists. Iran is on the brink of a revolution. Their government cares more for regional power and fascism than taking care of their own people. Of course you side with their theocracy.

    You had already made your point that you had gone off the rails somewhere between crazy town and traitor's grove, why did you feel the need to document it further?

    See what I mean Lil Mike. Your nation will not survive 300 years with these- er- “humans.”

    We didn't just stumble into a Shia hornet's nest. This has been an ongoing struggle for decades, during which they've killed hundreds of Americans. You are acting as if the US did this out of the blue with no reason. That isn't even close to the real situation.

    The invasion of Iraq was predicated on the extremely stupid notion that the Iraqis didn't want to live in in a brutal and violent society controlled by an oppressive dictator.

    That was a really dumb misunderstanding of the Muslim mindset, and boy did the US ever figure out the hard and expensive way that trying to give Muslims a chance at living in a civilized society is about like giving a fish a bicycle.

    Prehaps "animals" is too strong a term, but for Westerners that is often what middle east follies look like to us.

    Westerners have a hard time reconciling this behavior with civilization.

    I don't understand what point you're trying to make here.

    Is that some sort of a threat, or maybe a prediction?

    You've already gotten enough charity from Uncle Sugar.

    True, it’s the severe TDS era. The hypocrisy is literally unbelievable.

    If the alternative to being a snowflake is strapping explosives to my children and sending them off to be martyrs for a religious death cult, then I'm a proud snowflake thankyouverymuch.

    Seems an easy choice to make, but maybe I'm just kooky like that.

    What don't you understand about non-binding and with forces remaining?

    But again, what difference does it make? We have that, you guys have moral degeneracy. Arrogance from both sides will get you no where.

    Yay! The failed experiment to civilize the savage Muslim beast is over!

    Investment? Ha! That's hilarious.

    What idiot thinks shoveling money into Muslim dumpster fire countries is an "investment"?

    No, no, no. The king idiot who thought that stupidity for 8 straight years is no longer POTUS.
