Our Embassy in Baghdad is the Largest & Most Expensive in the World

6. That embassy is visible from space. 'The Green Zone' they called it.

The Iraqis have been treated so badly over the years by the puppet government we installed that it is NO surprise they are rising up to take back what is theirs. Yes, I know 'the jihadists' etc. I'm sure they are there, after all we BROUGHT them there.

Libya too is in turmoil, when you invade a country and slaughter the leaders, it's amazing that our brilliant leaders thought that they would simply 'settle down' and forget all the murders, the torture etc.

Don't we have about ten thousand troops in that embassy? And how many mercenaries are there still?

I remember during the Arab Spring Iraqis staged their own peaceful protests, assuming that this 'democracy' they now lived in permitted peaceful protests. The brutal crackdown on them was yet another crime. Our puppet government killed them, arrested hundreds of them and made it clear that 'democracy' doesn't include free speech.

The police we trained routinely tortured protesters, which is what began the journey taken by Chelsea Manning. She was charged with turning over people to the Iraqi police. When she realized many of them were wanted simply for making signs for a peaceful protest and were being brutally tortured and beaten after the US handed them over.

So she reported the abuses to her superiors. And she was told basically to stfu.

And she, like so many others, realized it was all a scam. And it is SHE who is sitting in jail for 35 years, while the real perpetrators, Cheney, Rummy, Bush, Rice, Wolfowitz, Ledeen et al, are living in luxury, enjoying the spoils of war.
