    Not a large majority, but a pretty good chunk, tied for the plurality.


    So it was not entirely rubbish, more like overstated.


    Still a year after the invasion, the majority did say it was worth it, you do see a big discrepancy between those that lost power (Sunnis) and those that gained power (Shiites).

    But just because most Iraqis were happy to see Hussein go, they were not necessarily happy that infidels were in their lands.

    Trump commented about the injured soldiers that some troops had a headache.

    Downplays severity. Compares it to more horrible battlefield injuries that he's seen. Touts killing of Soleimani. Does not consider it to be bad injuries.

    Soleimani was complaining about a headache before we cured it.

    Almost all the info in last tweet are correct but as a general rule, it is better to not rely on any source related to MKO/MEK aka Islamic-Marxist organization called Mojahedine Khalgh or (Community Combatants). They are famous for mixing true and false info.

    If you want to dig info about Iran and from non government related sources watch Masih Alinejad, Babak Taghvaee, Iranwire, ...

    The Iranian regime stands.

    The US is not at war with Iran.

    This thread is still insanely active.

    ...why?

    Because 2 weeks ago BigSoccer declared Trump had started WWIII. Given all the pearl clutching that goes on here it is sometimes important to remind ourselves how wrong BigSoccer pundits can be. Also the impeachment threads have become tedious and boring.

    As far as I can see only one person posted a prediction and he didn't guess a score.
    Maybe a mod could sticky a post with the channels this will be broadcast on (if any).

    A sense of normalcy has returned to Tehran. No war, no revolution after all...Life just goes on and this gentleman passing by a group of street musicians, after apparently picking up his dry-cleanings, decides to grab the street musician’s mic, and put on a show of his own. :D

    Instead of Godwinning, all P&CE threads devolve to these topics & the Clintons. One of our academics should do a research paper on it.

    @American Brummie the gauntlet has been thrown down. Time to do some serious research... Carolina vinegar sauce or that sweet KC magic.

    Dude I am a huge fan of that stuff

    We have an outdoor woodfired pizza oven for heavens sake

    Most food you are buying in restaurants or fast food is really poor quality compared to what you can make yourself.
