Pfft, an AIDs detector? Sisi's Egypt managed to CURE it!

BLU-43 Dragontooth mines and their communist copies worked wonders in Vietnam, Laos, and Afghanistan and they only weigh 20 grams! You could stuff over a million and a half of them into a single B-52, sure there's fancy dispensers but it's not like we need to be careful where we drop them. I doubt there's many wheelchair ramps in that part of the world, poo poo, there's probably not very many wheelchairs. Militant Meshif's not going to be waging much Holy War when he's scooting himself through the dirt on a piece of plywood with some mismatched shopping cart wheels and office chair casters bolted on. The cannibalized office chair probably has more of your tax dollars in it than the mines.

Yeah I guess it's a saving grace that they're not literally posting "ISIS has a right to do what they're doing" but there sure as poo poo has been a whole lot of handwaving and feigned disbelief over ISIS practices

Also some "The US is responsible for this" which maybe is correct in the "Saddam kept everyone in check via meat grinders and gas" sense but personally I don't think it's that damning to anyone but Iraqis to say that the US destabilizing Iraq resulted in actual Hitlers

I was rejected by the:

Maliki is not only the Prime Minister but also Minister of Defense, Minister of Interior, and Minister of National Security so there are a shitload of Iraqi troops that report directly to him. He already deployed the Iraqi Spec. Forces to various parts of Baghdad and he's dug in like a tick. He's here to stay. If ISIS had any brains they'd redeploy their fighters and weapons away from Kurdistan and make gains in Syria and Baghdad.

VisibleBoots on the ground in Iraq is the definition of a loss for any administration past, present, or future.

The LRB project is a way's off, but it's time to show the world what B-52's and an Ohio Class SSGM are capable of in terms of wanton destruction and violence.

We'll have a FOB out in Kurdistan somewhere that we'll never acknowledge. Call it site Lima 52, because Hubris is endearing when you play with high explosives for a living. Let Maliki and his Iranian backed buddies get their Sunni Purge on in Baghdad, we can turn everything outside of that city that isn't clearly marked as Kurdish, Christian, or very goddamned friendly, bombed into the stone age on a nightly basis from loving Ramadi to Damascus. Lets carve a high explosive reminder to the savages who their one and only true gods are.

We'll have the hush hush cool guys from Lima 52 swooping in and taking ISIL leadership dudes alive and poo poo. Some cots opened up at GITMO ever since we got our human being back, better not waste the space before the end of the fiscal year or you just know we'll never get the funding again, dudes.

How does everyone immediately forget the sectarian showdown that kicked off around 2006? ISIS is pretty batshit, but Shi'ites running around in black pj's lobbing 7.62mm into random Sunni craniums was definitely a thing.

As was retaliatory suicide bombings.

People act like partitioning cities/states/countries solves every possible ethnic crisis but wouldn't enforcing Sunni/Shiite partitions in Baghdad and a three-state solution in Iraq just concentrate everything and result in permanent border tensions and spillover of armed bands

I disagree. They'd have to get their murder on under the cover of darkness. No mass executions in the village square.

I'm sure the small group of advisors would have prevented that from happening. Extricating ourselves from the situation, even partially, was worth it.
