Humpday Humor: The 'Other' Situation In Iraq
Violence has escalated in Iraq in recent weeks as the Sunni Islamist militant group ISIS has seized control of numerous cities and continued its advance toward the capital, Baghdad. Here is a primer to help understand the ongoing developments in the troubled nation:
- Valley gouged into earth by retreating Iraqi troops
- Truck not slowing down for checkpoint
- Ethnic, religious lines
- Field of wind turbines that this whole thing is really about
- Tantalizing mirage of sectarian unity
- Spot where American soldier lost four of his buddies for some vague, difficult-to-recall reason
- Lesser headache
- Brutal Chevron/BP infighting
- Charred remains of democracy
- Child given sweets by U.S. soldiers in 2006 steadying rocket launcher on shoulder
- Ancient Mesopotamian site known as the Cradle Of Disagreement
- Budding terrorist group we’ll have to worry about next year
- Lone Haliburton employee trying to rebuild entire nation
- NYU Basra Campus
- Area U.S. currently hoping to avoid at all costs

Krugman just came in his pants!
Lone Halliburton employee Cheney, asks hunting partner Belgium to check end of his shotgun to see if it is clogged.
Zerohedge continues its meme that everything is a "boon doggle" and never once explore that it might be a plan. http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/06/17/is-open-ended-chaos-the-desired-u...
I realize that this is supposedly mocking the MSM, but given some of the content, I fail to find humor in this. Especially #1, which would appear to be a perverted joke about the mass murder of the retreating Iraqi army in 1991 by coalition troops.
Yes, Since when is spoiled brat snark, humor?
The Onion was never much. Now it's nothing.
Yeah. But we should not have stopped there!
Surely they were referring to the present Iraqi army trained with US money fleeing from ISIS, and in 1991 they were retreating from Kuwait which is nowhere near that point on the map. Lighten up!
Yeah, I'm sure that the reference to a "trench dug" wasn't related to 1991 AT ALL.
Someone fleeing as fast as they can does not conjur the image of forming a trench. A dust storm perhaps, but not a trench. Trenches come from earth-moving equipment, which, once again aligns with 1991's "Highway of Death."
Believe me I'm as disgusted as you as to what the US did to those fleeing Iraqi troops back in 1991. It was very much the turning point for me as far as my belief in the USA as an honourable country. From that day on I despised those in control. Evil low-lifes that should be tried and hung for war-crimes! But look at mark on the map.... how does this possible refer to those leaving Kuwait on the Highway of Death?!
Watch this video until the end. It is a graphic of how those that wish to be in power are using everything to gain their goals. It includes graphic images from the 1991 invasion of Iraq.
It's NOT the people in the United States: It's the current regieme of foreign occupiers who gained power due to the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.

I have a sense of humor and normally enjoy the Onion's bits, but I too do not find anything funny about what is going on in Iraq, the Middle-East or DC US.
Not only has the DC US, ZATO and Israel turned this region into a bloodbath, but the organizers of this violence live and are based here in the DC US. They will one day unleash it on us. They already have if one keeps track of the brutality perpetrated by the local federalized gun and badge thugs.
And what of the young men and women and the families of the fallen who are just now realizing that they were used in a scheme, a 'racket," of murder and theft for the benefit of the MIC and connected? This cannot not be humorous to them in anyway.
As to the joke in #1, how would we feel about Germans making such jokes about the Malmedy Massacre?!
No, I must proclaim that there is nothing inherently funny about the murderous and treasonous DC US or their crimes.
Nothing funny here.

It only looks like a plan because there is no way Western interests can lose.
If they "win" with a stable Iraq, they control the oil flows. If they "lose" in Iraq, the oil goes offline and the Western interests win with elevated oil prices. In both cases, some other Western interests make money laundering terrorist money via Kuwait and also help broker large arms deals to keep the bloodshed going.
Ahahahahahah! LOL! Oh, wait, the jokes on US.
If that's not a mission accomplished map I dunno what is .
And to think if America would have used reason and logic and not nationalistic stupidy back in 2003, we wouldn't be in this quagmire.
Hey, The Onion, I'd like some freedom fries with that map. To go, please.
western pussies.
ask yourself , why those ISIS animals do not atack Israel?
how come arabs are killing arabs , man women and child - is it the way of a true worrior?
regardless of your believe.
when the muslim shit will hit europe - you will undarstand what we are going through...
and eventually ...you will thank us for doing your dirty work.
fuck you.
i will give them this much - isis are smart.
they stay away from the israeli border over the past 3 years of the syrian "conflict" - with well over 100'ooo dead and millions of homeless - stay away for a good reason. survival one.
galis:
They are worried that they will miss someone, so they are applying the ancient adage: "Kill 'em all and let Allah sort it out."

We pay and provision you for just this.
israel needs to provoke a war between iran and saudi arabia, and i think the best way to do it is to just have a formal commitment to back saudi arabia and get off the sidelines in a formal alliance together.
who says jews and sunni muslims cannot fight on the same side? seriously why the fuck not?
we can call it the junni or sujew alliance.
adonai hu akbar!
ask yourself , why those ISIS animals do not atack Israel?
Erm... because they're Saudi and Qatari catspaws, and the Saudis and Qataris are just doing the US' bidding, which in turn just does Israel's bidding in the region?
ie: ISIS are doing Israel's bidding? Oded Yinon mean anything to you?
"ask yourself , why those ISIS animals do not atack Israel?"
Answer: Geography. Jordan is in the way. lol

#15 correction ...That which must be avoided at all costs is a discussion of the facts that led up to this.
No blood for wind! No blood for wind!
we need to provoke ? those idiots fight a jihad against everyone.
including themselves.
look at the 300 m arabs in the m.e .

Yup, just the way Israeli Oded Yinon planned it.
Great, another guy we’re probably going to have to swap a dozen Al-Qaeda prisoners for.
Has Obama ever exchanged prisoners for private citizens? Don't think so.
Obama thought that by trading Taliban for an American soilder, it would provide his bone fides when claims he "supports the military." Here's hoping everyone sees right through the ploy not that the return of Bergdahl is that offensive. Obama was probably pressured by the Pentagon to do it and was finally convinced that it might help with his sagging polling numbers.
I can glady say I saw through Obama before he scammed his way into the nomination.
Well, good on ya' and where the fuck were your communication skills to convince like 8 million actual voters of that view?
Your hindsight is amazingly brilliant. I need my sunshades.

Well, seeing as you're training them and supporting them, the least you can do is give them some medical care when they get shot up, so they can go back and kill more Arabs, right? That's the plan, isn't it, Hasbara? Reduce any Arab nation state that isn't a US satrapy into a chaotic mess of sectarian violence so you can carry on stealing Arab land?
"western pussies"...
So true in many cases. And politically correct to boot.
Reality under Obomber has rendered Da Onion irrelevant... I mean let's face it, half the shit Obomber does is unbelieveably funny in a sick, pathetic sorta way and Obomber can fuckup faster than The Onion developes spoofs.
I mean - the emails were lost? That is like a Steve Martin skit back in the day - anyone remember his tax return jokes?
The US have made a mess in Iraq and Syria. That was probably the goal. Who have the best knowledge of this area? Israel of course. The closest friends to the Americans. They are so close that the Americans let them decide their whole ME policy. How dumb is that?
qqq - no , but i want to be the next u.s president ...
never heard of oded inon.
we can not take or steal what is ours - jim. its been ours ever since .
we got history in our country. in the ground. everywhere that support it.
please tell me the history of the p people?
as a nation ?
jim - your views do not make sense.
does anyone allow to kill people for fun like isis? to kill kids women and unarmed man?
do you think the saudis or katar will aprove it?
are they insain?
isis is well sponsored , and you americans always need a new enemy to fight - to keep the military budget up .
so , there are so many things going on that , when you suggest israel calling the shuts...
you are way off...we do not deserve the credit , trust me.. (our former president and former pm in jail..)
and fuck the hasbara. are they saying anything?
Teaparty people dissing Obama makes me sick. By now intelligent people have realized that the difference between Obama and Bush are zero, as the difference between reps and dems are nill.
The only difference is that Obama is better at reading the telepromter and that he could become the President of the US of A without a valid birth certificate.
Well, Obama proved that a President could still get elected without the use of the Supreme Court. lol
Dems and Rep? Again?
Heck I think someone above had an idea we could learn from, something about letting Allah sort them all out.
you are pussies
