Well this maggot is going to try moving forwards, with or without his head being kicked in.
So far the US, via the UN, or otherwise, has starved, bombed and invaded Iraq, killing huge numbers of local people.
Coupled with the general crappy attitude of the US towards the entire middle east you now have 10's of millions in that area who hate your guts.(Does that sound like a reasonable assessment of the situation)
The cost so far, in $$'s is $120 odd billion.
Plus a lot of dead people, on both sides.
Iraqi unemployment is about 50%, so instead of pissing about with stuff like Halliburton get the bloody Iraqis to rebuild the place.
And start unassing the country, the coalition is trying to run it from a series of fuhrerbunkers backed up with smartbombs.
Ship the kit in there, don't waste tens of billions on soldiers(proven to be a waste of cash don't you think), spend it on construction kit and building materials.
And if you think they're all so thick where these things are concerned how come uncle sam is so riled up over their next door neighbours in Iran building nuclear kit.
ooooh, its a waste of money I hear you say. wot, like the entire operation is a massive success so far?
You want to receive respect?
Start giving some or you'll never get anywhere there.
$120 billion and counting, and all we've got for that cash (in the west) is an old man dragged out of a dirt hole and a country filled with seriously pissed off people, who have been jerked about by colonial forces for 100's of years btw.
First the ottoman empire, then the Brits, independence was in 1932 and now the yanks are trampling about the place.
A bit of history
Most Iraqis, like Americans, just want to get the fuk on with their lives, do a job and feed the family.
