still has to deny it to protect the military industrial complex + the terror industrial complex.

Stuff like this is what makes fighting depression all the more difficult.

The alien invaders in that flick always remind me of the Kochoctopus. Who won't be satisfied until they've extracted the last life on Earth before they move out of here. Arey they just interplanetary locusts?

Hedging their bets for a war with Iran no matter what pretexts and proxies are jinned up. Follow the money. The oil companies and the MIC like these end of the world scenarios, to get the Christian Soldiers, all worked up over Revelations and Armageddon. Pretty sure Israel can't wait to have a reason to show their Might and Power.

Who knows where the agitation and money and mercenaries are being manufactured? I'm surprised at anything naming itself Al Qaeda Anything these days. Who does that?

Its been generations now.
Generations of Iraqis who have know nothing but, war and American bombs. From the No Fly Zone era to even the British mandate after WWI... the Iraqis have known no peace.
Its time to stop. Let's evacuate the Christians, the African Iraqis of Basra, and the Sunni that worked with us during the wars... and call it a day. We cannot fix another person's country nor, can we afford it.
