lol crooksandliars.com and the daily show...

this is just misinterpreted old news from like a month ago. the sunnis they're talking about don't like the fact that al qaida has invaded their country, and have begun fighting them, often times in the same battles as our forces. can't say it any better than james... the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

At the end of the day

Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

Depends on who the enemy of my enemy is. I would say that the enemy of my enemy might be my friend or might be my enemy, it depends on who they fucking are and not who they are enemies with!

Well, my philosophy on the situation is that the war is so fucked up already that it will be difficult for them to fuck it up any more. So why not try this?

At least the DOD's trying something different.

Exactly.

If your enemy of your enemy is already your enemy, then they will probably still be your enemy after you arm them with American weaponry.
