Who could forget Uday and Qusay?
Apparently most of the world..
Watching this, I’m amazed how much I forgot. Just those names bring up so many awful memories. But you’re right. We’ve forgotten.
I worked with the guys that located Saddam.
4th Id fished him out of the spider hole.
A lot was propaganda, just like today.
CNN... your trusted name
This war started in the 600’s AD
As appalling as I find the Muslim invasion from N Africa on Europe, none of this is new other than the West enabling it.
Turkey, the gate keepers to the west are up to no good.
Obama and Hillary have it on fire real good...
Agree with you completely on both parts. Turkey has become a very nasty actor in all this, and seems to have the potential to be the flame that lights a fuse. And the matches were gleefully provided by the old administration.
Remember this?
I do, Mark Thatcher lost in the N of Africa, the rise of Al Queda
Ghaddafi made a political gambit to supply petrol and allow passage through Libya
Here's what they got. Totally worth the cost and the risk.
What is that???
Ataturk is rolling in his grave

I was “in the area” at the time
Now we are back.
Just received a call from one of my buddies, I’ll see him Sat.
He said he just watched a film called “12 Strong” and was disappointed
It’s never the way you remember it
