At this point, wouldn’t be surprised if the warmongering establishment aided and abetted this attack, especially given the timing.
Bingo
One of these days, hopefully in my lifetime, I wish that Iraqis and so many other angry folks in the Middle East will grow up, drop their hatred of Israel & the West, and join the 21st Century.
This could be a truly wonderful world if people who conscientiously have decided to remain in the Stone Age/Dark Ages would join the rest of the civilized population on this planet. Perhaps Navy or Air Force planes could drop iPhones and loaves of Pepperidge Farm pumpkin spiced bread into impoverished areas of Baghdad, Aleppo, Damascus, Kabul and Islamabad (just to name a few locales) as goodwill and humanitarian gestures from the United States?
In all seriousness, this endless war in the ‘cradle of civilization’ has to cease. I loathe Michael Moore but I agree with his idea that the US/Allied forces should create irrigation systems in these desert countries as peacekeeping initiatives that will reduce hunger and poverty. We have to start somewhere…
Time for some blanket cluster bombing none of this namby pamby bullshit
How convenient. Is this information coming from the same person who just admitted he’s been lying to Trump about the number of troops in Syria.
Who in addition to Harden and Westbrook were fired into Israel. Don’t @ me, gotta have some humor.
