Breaking: Boots to be put on the ground in Iraq (AP)

[Simfan34]

Obama is helpless against the true Sons of Mesopotamia inspired by the living spirit of the inheritor of Babylon, Field Marshal Saddam Hussein al-Tikriti, led by his true and loyal servant, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri the (formerly) Redhaired. Indeed, all efforts, in the face of Arab Socialist brotherhood, would be so futile at stopping another Benghazi-style incident that the U.S. imperialist forces should all leave the country and let the inevitable happen.

(Yes, that is a painting of Saddam.)

ITT: Socialists cheering on the rise of extremist theocratic reactionaries because they'll stick it to America.

That sound you hear is Marx rolling in his grave.

The 1980s called, they want their imperialist talking points back.

Lecture me more on Marxism when you graduate the ninth grade, kid.

What are you even talking about? Iran? Because, and I know nuance is going to surprise you, but it's entirely possible for people to not like Khomeini/the Islamist revolution while still considering American meddling in Iran, to prop up the Shah they installed against the will of the Iranian people, a bad thing.

And if you're talking about Afghanistan, well, the extremist theocratic reactionaries were on the side of the U.S.. Surprising, considering the "NATO/Al-Qaeda axis" is something you learn about in Kneejerk Anti-Americanism 101.
