  1. calls 911 Civilian: HELP ME! THERE'S A MANIAC IN MY HOUSE! Policeman: What's your address? Civilian: 407 Cherrywood Drive, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrob- Policeman hangs up

  2. If all towns were named like this, we wouldn't need maps.

  3. 77% of Iraqis said the invasion was "worth it" as late as January 2006 (World Public Opinion poll). Then the sectarian civil war kicked in, and they mass murdered each other and blamed Americans.

  4. I bet this comment section is going to be lovely scrolls down Oh wait, it's actually not so bad.

  5. That's because America is the only country on Earth that can be blamed for the crimes of its mortal enemies. 3 million Vietnamese die in a war between North and South Vietnam? America's fault. 95% of Iraqi civilians are killed by the terrorists the US is trying to kill and capture? America's fault. Etc. etc.

  6. You don't even have a coherent definition of "occupier". We were there with the permission of an elected government, we were no more occupying Iraq than we are occupying Germany right now.

  7. You cowards whipped up that dollar hegemony conspiracy theory after we proved your "Iraq War is for oil" one made no sense. Trying to argue with you weasels is like playing whack-a-mole.

  8. What are they defending their people from? Electing their own government? If these insurgents were fighting the good fight why did half of them switch sides during the Anbar Awakening?

  9. An April 2004 Gallup poll showed Iraqis thought the invasion was "worth it" by a margin of 2 to 1 at this point during the war. Then a couple years later they mass murdered each other in sectarian violence, blamed Americans, and pretended they never wanted to be liberated.

  10. So you mean the majority of the Iraqi people, up until 2007? Because a Gallup Poll in April 2004, a World Public Opinion poll in January 2006, and another World Public Opinion poll in September 2006 all showed the Iraqis overwhelmingly believed the invasion was "worth it."

  11.  komigennufan  From 2007 onwards, you are right. Prior to that you are wrong.

  12. When I think of how much people risk to come here, I cannot describe the rage I feel at people crying about how Americans are "living paycheck to paycheck", and "living in poverty" and "starving" in America. Our country is spoiled rotten and don't know the first thing about real poverty. Even panhandlers in America make more in an hour than half the world makes in a day.

  13. What are they defending their city from exactly? Elections? Tell me, if the insurgents here were fighting a good fight, why did half of them switch sides during the Anbar Awakening?

  14. No, those who gouge out women's eyes for wearing make up and murder boys for wearing emo haircuts are terrorists. If the insurgents were fighting a good fight, why did half of them switch sides during the Anbar Awakening?

  16.  @IRAQI_22  Your own people said overthrowing Saddam was worth it in an April 2004 Gallup poll by a margin of 2 to 1. It was in 2006 that sectarian violence kicked into high gear: you mass murdered each other, blamed Americans, and then pretended you never wanted to be liberated.

  17. Sorry hate lover but an April 2004 Gallup poll showed the Iraqis themselves thought the invasion was worth it by a margin of 2 to 1. They only changed their tune when sectarian violence kicked into high gear in 2006. They mass murdered each other and blamed Americans.

  18. The US did the freeing, the Iraqis mostly killed themselves. Iraq Body Count found that of about 120,000 civilian deaths in Iraq on record, only about 14,000 were caused by the coalition. That means 89% of Iraqi civilians were killed by their fellow muslims.

  19.  @MeinungMann  Sorry to burst your hate-bubble, but the overwhelming majority of civilians were killed by the people those marines were here to kill and capture. "In total, over 150,000 people have been killed and 80 percent of them – more than 122,000 – were civilians, said the IBC. [...] According to a 2010 assessment by John Sloboda, director of Iraq Body Count, U.S. and Coalition forces had killed at least 22,668 insurgents as well as 13,807 civilians in the Iraq War, with the rest of the civilians killed by insurgents, militias, or terrorists." - John Slobeda, Iraq Body Count

  20. We didn't butcher the nation, the "freedom fighters" you were rooting for butchered the nation. 90% of civilian deaths in Iraq did not come from coalition forces, but rather the people coalition forces were out to kill and capture. IraqBodyCount found that of the 112,667–123,284 civilian deaths from violence, only 13,807 civilians in the Iraq War killed by coalition forcing. I'm almost certain that's an underestimate of the disparity too. Here's icasaulties[dot]org in May 2005 back when they were tracking Iraqi fatalities. Who's doing the killing? https://imgur.com/HP67mvk

  21.  @khanhamid3744  80% of civilians killed during Afghan War were killed by the Taliban according to the UN. But go on, gorge yourself on anti-Americanism because its more fashionable. Soliders get PTSD because unlike you, they have consciences.

  22. A Global Policy poll reported on July 15, 2004 showed most Iraqis wanted Americans to stay until elections were established in the country.

  24. You have to really believe in a cause to mingle with the enemy for 8 years and not catch their beliefs.

  25. The US didn't destroy your country, you destroyed your own country. Polls show the vast majority of Iraqis thought the invasion was "worth it" as late as September 2006 (Gallup, World Public Opinion). Then you mass murdered each other and blamed Americans.

  26. We gave you what you wanted. A 2004 Gallup poll showed Iraqis thought the invasion was "worth it" by a margin of 2 to 1. Then you mass murdered each other and blamed Americans.

  27.  @solid_fire9388  It was the "Freedom Fighters" you were rooting for who ruined the country. In fact half of them realized that and that's why they switched sides during the Anbar Awakening.

  28.  @khanhamid3744  80% of civilians were killed by pro-Taliban forces during the Afghan War according to the UN, but sure, gorge yourself on anti-Americanism because its what the cool kids do.

  29. You made my day.

  30. It was the side you were rooting for that killed the vast majority of innocent Iraqis, no doubt largely motivated by the fact you'd blame their atrocities on their American enemies: "In total, over 150,000 people have been killed and 80 percent of them – more than 122,000 – were civilians, said the IBC. [...] According to a 2010 assessment by John Sloboda, director of Iraq Body Count, U.S. and Coalition forces had killed at least 22,668 insurgents as well as 13,807 civilians in the Iraq War, with the rest of the civilians killed by insurgents, militias, or terrorists."

  31. A 2004 Gallup poll showed Iraqis thought the invasion was "worth it" by a margin of more than 2 to 1. You are literally calling him a war criminal for not believing he knew better than the Iraqis what was best for Iraq. If Arabs don't know what's best for them, and their safety is more important than their freedom, why don't we bring back colonialism?

  33. I'm confused...he looks white, but I thought Islam was a race. You can't be a white Jihadist, can you?

  35.  @icekidtvshorts4504  The people we were trying to kill and capture did that.

  36.  @icekidtvshorts4504  Sure, all those thousands of news articles about carbombings and suicide bombers were just fake.

  37. I'm confused...his parents are white. That means he's white. But isn't Islam a race!? Does not compute.

  38.  @man-bx3yb  You're a coward who has no moral compass and just hates American. You know at this stage in the war, poll data shows Iraqis thought the invasion was "worth it" by a margin of 2 to 1 and mostly wanted Americans to stay until elections were held? It wasn't until 2006, when sectarian violence kicked into high gear. They mass murdered each other and then blamed America. But of course none of that really makes a difference to you.

  39. The US sowed freedom in Iraq. The Iraqis themselves sowed destruction. That's why most Iraqis said the invasion was "worth it" until around 2007 was sectarian violence hit its apex and thousands died every month due to Shi'ite/Sunni infighting. Iraq Body Count found only about 10% of civilians deaths in Iraq were caused by coalition forces.

  40. I like the part where he said Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

  41. That's because the US is the only country that gets blamed for the crimes of its mortal enemies. 90% of Iraqi civilians were killed by the terrorists the US was trying to kill and capture, and they laughed their asses off when you blamed the US for their atrocities. https://imgur.com/RNsxfYr

  42. Objectively we were. We could have saved a lot of trouble by simply putting a sycophantic, US-backed strongman in power, but instead we let the Iraqis elect their own government, even if it meant Sadrists serving in parliament.

  43. The Iraqis full supported us inserting ourselves into their affairs, until they decided to mass murder each other and blame us. A 2004 poll by Gallup showed Iraqis thought the invasion was "worth it" by a margin of more than 2 to 1.

  44.  @Zohairshanteer  Why don't you ask all the former insurgents who switched sides during the Anbar Awakening? They'll you what America was trying to keep us (and the Iraqi people) safe from.

  45.  @husseinali3156  Why don't you ask your own people? An April 2004 Gallup poll showed Iraqis thought the invasion was "worth it" by a margin of 2 to 1. You only changed your tune in 2006 when you mass murdered each other, blamed Americans, and then pretended you never wanted to be liberated.
