According to Wiki:
Iraq is a Muslim-majority country; Islam accounts for an estimated 97% of the population, while non-Muslims account for just 3%.It has a mixed Shia and Sunni population. Most sources estimate that around 65% of Muslims in Iraq are Shia, and around 35% are Sunni.
“Empires bomb who they want, when they want, for whatever reason”
Well, I totally agree with that. We’re in friggin’ charge, and we’ll bomb you if you cut off our citizen’s heads. We don’t ask permission. We oughtn’t even announce. We should just make your cities fall to rubble.
If you want to play nicely, we should (but aren’t) be a good friend.
If you want to play Jihad, we’ll introduce you to your 72 Virgins as quickly as possible.
Declarations of War are for other moments in history. Right now, bomb islamists who need bombing.
That’s not to approve of 0bama in any fashion. He’s an idiot. But we oughtn’t get caught up in niceties. Kill them. Now. Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow. Dead. Before they kill us.
Okay, I was going from memory. Shia’s make up around 20% of the world’s Islamic population, Sunni is around 75%.
Iran is about 90 - 95% Shia, Iraq 65% Shia vs. 35% Sunni, the others are mostly Sunni.
Sorry, but that is BS. Anti-American sentiment in that reason is fueled solely by American support for Israel and American refusal to bow before a caliphate. If the US pulled completely out of the region, the muzzie extremists would still hate America and seek to destroy her interests.
I ask the question again...
What has Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Jordan done???
Are they flying, bombing, strafing ISIS/ISIL targets and killing these schmups???
If they are not, then they are not doing a damn thing as far as I am concerned...
So much for a coalition Bump!
100% correct
And he will keep bombing them until they recognize HIM as the legitimate Caliph.
From Wiki:
Greenwald is critical of actions jointly supported by Democrats and Republicans, writing: “The worst and most tyrannical government actions in Washington are equally supported on a fully bipartisan basis.” In the preface to his first book, How Would a Patriot Act? (2006), Greenwald opens with some of his own personal political history, describing his ‘pre-political’ self as neither liberal nor conservative as a whole, voting neither for George W. Bush nor for any of his rivals (indeed, not voting at all).
Bush's election to the U.S. presidency “changed” Greenwald’s previous uninvolved political attitude toward the electoral process “completely”, and in 2006 he wrote:
Over the past five years, a creeping extremism has taken hold of our federal government, and it is threatening to radically alter our system of government and who we are as a nation. This extremism is neither conservative nor liberal in nature, but is instead driven by theories of unlimited presidential power that are wholly alien, and antithetical, to the core political values that have governed this country since its founding”; for, “the fact that this seizure of ever-expanding presidential power is largely justified through endless, rank fear-mongeringfear of terrorists, specificallymeans that not only our system of government is radically changing, but so, too, are our national character, our national identity, and what it means to be American.”
Ultimately, I posted this piece for the title alone.
it was a priceless headline.
Just this morning before the idiot in chief got up in front of his crew (of thugs) at the UN...
I saw “some details...
The U.A.E. “flew” 4 F-16’s (that’s it, no mention of what they did, other than fly...)
Bahrain “flew” 2 F-16’s
Jordan “flew” 4 F-16’s
I can’t recall the country as I’m typing this from memory, but someone over there put up (flew) a handful of Mirage 2000’s...
Until I see (verifiable) actual bombs fall from the racks of these countries planes, onto actual ISIS/ISIL targets IN Iraq and Syria, I do not believe there is a coalition...
