(Max Fisher) When President Obama announced US airstrikes in Iraq, most observers understood that the US would be bombing members of ISIS. What many did not know was that, in a twist of such bitterly symbolic irony that it could only occur in the Middle East, the US would also be bombing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of American military equipment.
Here’s why: in the decade since the 2003 US-led Iraq invasion, the US has spent a fortune training and arming the Iraqi army in the hopes of readying it to secure the country once America left. That meant arming the Iraqi army with high-tech and extremely expensive American-made guns, tanks, jeeps, artillery, and more.
My Commentary: “Government. Not even once.”
The following debate originally took place upon the Facebook wall of an acquaintance…
Republican Speaker of the House, John Boehner, and President Barack Obama
Mike R.: So congress (at least one side of it) is trying to sue the President for sucking at his job. Can we, the people, sue our congress for sucking at EVERYTHING?
Allan W.: No because Congress bought out the lawyers with their pocketbooks, Stupid
:/
Rayn: Criminal charges against both sounds more like it!
Eric B.: Here here they are all retarded

Wrongly accused victim of police and courts, Ashley Brown
Mistaken Identity? Woman Says She Was Wrongly Accused, Arrested:
https://www.aol.com/article/2014/07/29/mistaken-identity-woman-says-she-was-wrongly-accused-arrested/20938748/
(Isabelle Chapman) Ashley Brown was eight months pregnant when she was arrested on drug charges last November for a case in which her only real crime may have been having a very common name.
Brown said she pulled into the driveway of her mother’s Rittman home and was closely followed by two cars from the Rittman Police Department.
“I got out and one of them walked up to me and said, ‘we have a warrant for your arrest,’ and I thought that they were joking,” said Brown.
“I thought that it was for an unpaid parking ticket and he said, ‘no ma’am, it’s for dangerous drugs,’ and I lost it,” said Brown.
My Commentary: Read the details of this story very carefully. Then, imagine yourself peacefully coexisting with the rest of humanity, only to be suddenly abducted by armed thugs, falsely accused, and falsely imprisoned, all while eight months pregnant, simply because you happen to share the same first name with a suspect who drove her car to a police-surveilled drug deal, and the State has decided that they have just cause to pursue you as a criminal based upon this this SINGLE FACT, alone…
Ashley Brown had no criminal record, and a solid alibi for the day in question. However, according to the article, “for eight grueling months following her arrest, Brown said she was required to make daily status phone calls and subject herself to random drug tests twice a week at her own expense.
Ultimately, prosecutors agreed to drop the charges against her.
Brown said she felt embarrassed to have to go through what she did, especially when she was pregnant and she feels she is entitled to an apology.
‘I hope this never happens to anybody, and I hope they do their research better before they go to try to convict somebody of something they didn’t do,’ said Brown.”
As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Fuck the Government,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…
“These guys loved freedom so much… that they wrote a contract, hundreds of years before your birth, without your consent, binding you in enforced tax servitude until your death”
My Commentary: How noble! These slave-mastering, indigenous-massacring, white supremacists used their ill-gotten hordes of wealth to secure “freedom” for an entire nation!
“Government… ideas so good, they’re mandatory”
