Anyone this brave? January 7, 2014 3:54 pm bowser

“U.S. intelligence officials said Friday the situation in western Iraq was “extremely dire” after radical Sunni forces linked with al Qaeda raised their flag in the town of Fallujah – site of two of the bloodiest battles during the Iraq war – and gained control of the city.

“Islamist insurgents have also battled tribesmen for control of the Iraqi city of Ramadi.”

Now it’s generally conceded there was no al-Qaeda in Iraq before George W. Bush.  Oh, some people claim there was a “meeting” once, more people deny it.  But now no one can deny it’s rife with ‘em.  Even after US troops leveled the place.

Does anyone have the guts to tell me my cousin died there for a good reason?  Anyone want to explain to his mother that she lost a son in defense of freedom, democracy and the American way of life?  That he was well-used by the “decider”?  That his life was used by Bush-Cheney to make the world a better place?

Simple little IQ test.  Or brainwashing test.

Just curious.
