I mean, man - have you no pride? Your ride looks just awful!
Don’t be silly. Take off your tinfoil hat, it makes you look impotent.

Your friend is an historical illiterate who apparently doesn't know the first thing about how the Romans treated those whom they conquered. Standard procedure for Roman legions in dealing with a populace that continued to resist them was to kill those who openly opposed them and enslave the rest. Scorched earth tactics such as vastatio (which is the Latin root for 'devastation') were also routinely employed by Roman legions when engaged in a military campaign. So to compare how the Romans treated their enemies with how the United States treats its enemies and then conclude that the Romans come out on the plus side humanatarian-wise is to show that one is a fool who should have kept his mouth shut on the issue.
I wonder if the Iraqis hate the US press as much as we do.

Now you know why I was careful to say ‘usually.’
Sorry but a guy that never even left the Green Zone is hardly a "good source" for anything about Iraq. Considering that a number of AP stringers are in Iraq prisons caught red handed helping the terrorists should make THINKING Freeprs highly suspicious of anything published in by the US Junk Media as coming from clearly tainted sources. But as usual the Al Qeda Cheerleaders here simply ignore ALL factual context to to mindlessly regurgitate what fits in with their own emotion based political bigotry on Iraq.
He knows because he has been in a room in the Baghdad Hilton for 4 years. More Leftist pablum.
PRay for W and Our Freedom Fighters
Killing Sadr, and leveling the Sunni Triangle should be our farewell shot at the jihadists. Perhaps the poor Iraquis would be able to join with Kurdistan to fend off the Al Q’s.
Watching now. He’s very interesting and he is also somewhat evasive and mysterious. At first I thought he had probably worked for one of our intell agencies, but 20 minutes into the program I lost that thought.
