Your so cute Buzz ... You assume the US wants ISIS gone

you did ask ..

rebuilt that nation - are you kidding ? do you know how many infrastructure projects (funded by the Iraqis own oil money) nnewver happened ? the money just dissappeared into US multinationals (bechtel ect) coffers and no work was ever done? the fraud was on a massive scale

A bit like ‘enemy combatant’ (no such designation under the accepted geneva conventions’), ‘collateral damage’ (we killed innocent people), ‘extraordinary rendition’ (we kidnapped some people) , ‘enhanced interrogation’ (torture) ......we could go on and on. but the point of all this mangling of the English language…

Bahah ‘bringing us all jobs’ - that patriotic rich upstanding CEOs send back to China so they can make their million dollar bonus. Circle of capitalist life I guess hey ?

The recourse and trying to end an argument with claims that ‘whatabouterism’ invalidates anything is pretty poor thinking and proliferates over the net these days. What you call ‘whatabouterism’ is actually a valid moral philosophy called ‘universality’ and is simply the idea that two actions that are the same should…

Sorry I didn’t quite understand that metaphor because if you are going to use analogies to global fat kids, ones that eat everything, consume everything and bully others....I’m fairly certain China isn’t the first country that comes to mind for most of the world...

If you are a fellow Aussie, the you really need to review our national habit of taking the piss out of absolutely anything and everything ... Especially NZ. Drop the shoulder chip and have a laugh mate

New Zealand ... Australia’s Canada :)

Anyone would think taxes are cyanamide to American conservatives . Despite the fact this many other countries in the worldmstollmesists and get along quite well with the odd percentage point increase of needed. It's as if you don't have envy thing more impractical in life to care about other than if your tax is 26 or…

The other major blind spot is that death by economics doesnt count apparently ? despite the fact that starving to death is a much slower and painful way to die.

Military takeovers are never good, especially when they never hand power back (putting the generals in suits doesn’t count). its amazing how far the US bent over backwards not to call it a coup

‘off the shelf’ for the US government military means a vampire squid corporate MIC company thinking “sweet ! we will charge 3x what we would charge another commercial entity!”

i often think that US military procurement is made much more expensive and lots less capable by the ‘Not invented here’ syndrome

Pfft but promising generals and officers cushy jobs for making certain decisions isn't bribery is it ? Surely US MIL companies are completely spotless in this regard ?

I love wondering how many heads would explode in the US congress if other countries fairly reciprocated Americas rules, no jobs In The US for LM orders outside of the US military

The one thing missing From your account is that for quite a long time the Muslim brotherhood did undoubtedly have the vast weight of democratic support from citizens in Egypt (the us tried very very hard to stop them at election time). You can be choose to be principled and support democracy or you can choose to be…

Apparently my stuff gets deleted ...

I’m not sure how you can sing ‘America the brave’ while droning people to death ... Not a lot brave when you take no physical risk. To be fair I find it hard to sing our Australian national anthem while we are sending refugees to gulags offshore in poor pacific countries. ‘For those, who’ve come across the seas we’ve…

You do know the term ‘enemy combatant’ is a made up designation by the US and has no standing in the laws of war? The fact it so easily rolls off your tongue just shows how good the propaganda is
