Iraq - one seriously fucked up place

[1nitestan]

WARNING- extremely graphic/violent footage

I don't understand a word of this but it's pretty clear why the Iraqi Defense forces are surrendering and running. No amount of training can prepare a soldier for this. Iraq is pretty much a lost cause and we need to bomb the fuck out of ISIS before they get any stronger.

bomb the fuck out of them... what are you talking about?

these are the same 'freedom fighters' that we (america and her u.n. allies) financed and armed and flew air cover missions for in libya just across the border a few months ago

where did you think they were going to go next? :doh:

Keep in mind the thousands of foreign fighters, including Canadians, Yanks, British and so on, that, if the US or anyone starts to bomb he shit out of the ISIS, will provide a cadre of home-grown trained terrorists to strike at targets within their home countries. This is potentially a very complex and dangerous situation.

I think the potential has been realized. What you say might happen is now actually going on...this is the result of the invasion and destabilizing of Iraq by the US, to do whatever it was Cheney and Bush were trying to accompish...which has spawned the hell that's happening there today. Iraq is fucked.

Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia.. are all fucked.

Egypt, Ukraine, Chechnya, Kenya, Mozambique...getting to be a long list.

I found this to be a good primer for those who are a bit lost about what's been going on in Iraq. If anyone is interested..
