Well, you view any actions that could possibly be against the state or a war as treason.
Is this a nation you yourself would want to live in, and where do you view yourself within it?

I am fine with dissent.

Extremely useful to renegotiate when al'Maliki couldn't get U.S. forces out soon enough.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

No, but the point is basically irrelevant. It doesn't matter. Its like saying the root problem was that Saddam took power, or that he invaded Kuwait, or that the Ottoman Empire fell. It takes a further series of events after 2003 (and after 2009) for IS to become what it is today, and those are what matters.

The context that created it's power was that a power vacuum was in Iraq.


Actually no, IS was pretty beaten by 2011. It regained its strength by occupying parts of Syria.

Turns out killing that asshole So damn insane caused that power vacuum in the first place.


And a few other things, such as executive orders and policies in the aftermath.

A detachment. More than sufficient to quash sectarian violence and abuse courtesy of al'Maliki that stoked enough Sunni resentment to simply not get in the way of Daesh and hand them free prizes.

You do actually realize that the detachment is part of the sustainment and reconstruction program right and not combat oriented right?

Or, if they didn't invade in the first place ISIS would have never happened.

Also, hundreds of troops would be alive.

Like I said before you will need to stop the Arab spring from happening in the first place since ISIS directly benefited from that event.

Can all of you please take a look at the picture below. It may seem off-topic, but it is greatly related to US politics in general. To me, it's pretty BS. Apparently, "9/11 was an inside job" is the most believable conspiracy theory, even more plausible than that the elections are rigged, and furthermore the idea that President Bush killed 3000 innocent people is apparently several times more believable than the theory that Clintons caused the deaths of some of their enemies. What is your opinion?

The position of the words on that aren't determined by plausibility, they're determined by commonality.
