Oh please! Stop with the scapegoating redneck bullshit, will ya? The fighters are no different than anybody else. They follow the money, not the voodoo.
Well, that's just the kind of thing the "religious freedom" people have been screaming for, isn't it? Maybe they oughta be more careful what they wish for.
I am asserting that Oceania has firm control of the disputed regions in the middle east at the moment. They are not fighting against dictators and extremists as you have asserted. Quite the contrary. The profit is in the conflict. The shah is a single chapter in the ongoing story. It's a story of power and passion. The nuance of religion and politics can be left outside. Applying our values to this *game of empires* is futile presumptuousness.
No, but lots of equipment is sold and consumed, and people are paid big money. Most of the public buys into it and wants even more. Appeal to primitive instinct and irrational fear is where you will make your fortune. The system works!
This is India, where a gold plated version of a cheap product is made available to people who don't want to be seen using anything their maid can afford.
The shah was not overthrown. He was sick and going to die. I won't say the US is nearly as responsible as the UK and Europe, which have much deeper interests in the region. There's a lot of *wagging the dog* going on. Yes, keeping the communists out was and is paramount. The "radical Islamists" are doing what they are hired to do. I hope you don't think they work for free! Russia's market share is down significantly.
Well, that's the problem. If the polls are to be believed, he's number one. And our lady friend, who is also number one, wants to jump into full on war also. The voters aren't even working with a tenth of their brains. They're all dazzled by shiny objects.
Um, excuse me? America is busy installing and funding dictators and extremists... Even the famous Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini was used as an asset to keep the communists out of Iran after the Shah (remember him, right?) got sick and died. And our former friends Qaddafi and Hussein kept a pretty tight lid on things for us also. And Saudi Arabia? Ooof! Paradise! American intentions in the middle east are hardly what anybody could call "honorable". It's just business.. And business is booming (so to speak), better than it ever was.
The government, through Saudi Arabia, is an ISIS supporter. And then, after ISIS, you will hear about ISIS 2.0, or is it Al Qaeda 3.0? Either way, the war is coming home to roost.

Now, there's something you don't see everyday...
Government financed terrorism is kind of a real issue.
But they had a nice vacation in Paris, traveling by private jet, not the least bit ironic
What wealthy nations?
There are no 'nations'. Maybe they mean the banks and financial markets. That's where all our money is sequestered.
Yeah well, they can't be that dumb if they're winning elections. For 'dumb' you have to look elsewhere.

Oh brother! So that's your game, eh?
Americans haven't waged war against Islam and Muslims per se; they have, however, fought dictators and extremists ...
Wanna keep playing?

That's right, only five years. Before then, they printed biblical truth and scientific fact.

The torturers will love this. Make people feel double the pain...

Guess you never heard of the Oath of Allegiance. Feel free to look it up.
He just confirmed suspicions, that's all. Still didn't matter though. All the same politicians still get reelected. They successfully vilified him.

Extending it only makes it longer.
It really is an ugly situation. Nobody is going to win here.
Except the loonies and terrorists.
And the people who sell bullets.
This fits right in the the previous 'political corruption' story. Oh well, I guess everything is going to be locked down soon.
Because there are no centerfolds...
Guess you didn't read the article. It can be a pathway to juicier targets. Also, China doesn't like seeing smog reports they can't censor.
