This is what most Iraqi children will remember about the U.S.A.
Way to win the "hearts and minds" of Muslims all over the world!
God Bless America and Oil too...

You know, I tend to read alot, and I've read alot of stuff by guys that formulated the US military's COIN policies, alot of them Vietnam era officer corp vets, and they were fucking horrified how 30 years of counter insurgency doctrine got thrown under the bus in Iraq (and Afghanistan)..
To quote, “Samuel Vaughan Wilson stares intently at the television news from Iraq. American infantrymen are kicking in a Sunni Muslim family’s front door, yelling and screaming and manhandling the father. Wilson grimaces. “This isn’t counter-insurgency,” he says. “This is not the right way to do this.”
Yeah, and Samuel Wilson was a bleeding heart hippie*: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam…

Some Iraki man could get freaking rich selling some
"GET TO DA CHOPPA" t-shirts to US soldiers,but on a more serious note, the US is never leaving Irak.
50000 troops left + thousands private contractors, doesn't mean you're not there anymore.
But fooling the public is always priceless

Tragic, just tragic. Sad that it'll all just go away, people will debate 'who lied' 'why this or that', etc., etc.
Nothing will change. History repeats itself.

When there is no Base housing American Military personnel , then we are still in Iraq
