"...post-removal operation has been a huge cock up.

What would you have done differently? Keep your Elroy envied cock out of it please.

Thanks in advance,

The Iraqi government was selected by Iraqis. It's the most representative government the people of Iraq have ever had. Give me any time in Iraq's history when it had a more "self determined government" than it has now. I'm waiting, go ahead, when?
NEVER, the emphasis is NEVER not in the past not in the present. The Iraqi always elected Saddam. However, they elected the this government as a US poppet government. You know that didn't you?
Agreed. But what does that have to do with Iraqis being responsible for the current situation in Iraq?
I was merely pointing out the fact that the Iraqi do not count as long as US interest is protected.
A choice in what? You're rambling and not making sense....If you are arguing with my point that the Iraqis had the choice to either live as normal peaceful civil humans or to go blow up a marketplace full of shoppers, you're wrong. They have that choice every day, as do you and I. Some of them choose to blow up a market full of shoppers. They CHOOSE to do so rather than live the life currently available to them. If that causes paid to Iraq, that is pain which they have brought on themselves in their choice to blow something up rather than build a business. The insurgents are choosing to kill, Sarman, they aren't being forced to kill other Iraqis, they are choosing to do so.
They had a choice, and many have chosen to murder each other rather than live under Iraqi leadership that the majority of Iraqis elected.
Elroy, you used the same line for the Palestinians in Gaza. You have to look things from the people living there point of view not through the peep hole that the US wants you to see through.
You don't agree that without outside influence the UAE would not exist at all? The entire country is a foreign creation - if left to their own devices the Saudis would have swallowed up all the UAE territory and oil years ago, and their would be no such thing as a Dubai.
You mean outside workers? right?
