Former head of US special forces admits: Islamic State would not exist if Bush didn’t invade Iraq

Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn told the German newspaper Der Spiegel that Americans allowed their anger of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to lead them into disastrous military policies that failed to address the root causes of terrorism — and actually helped create new and more brutal terrorists.

Swearing on forums but this is another major line this piece of shit just crossed. Inciting a crowd by saying a sitting president founded Isis? Really asshole? Now President Obama's Secret Service detail just really got pissed off. This scum must be stopped now. He's is going to get worse and I feel he about to create a flurry of violence. I hope I'm wrong. This was humorous for a while but now I am worried for the safety of Hillary, Obama and the Khan family.

"For What It's Worth"

There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking' their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly saying, "hooray for our side"

It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the men come and take you away

We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

We better stop
Now, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

We better stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

You can hear this shit 24/7 for the past 30 years on Hate Radio.

Hell, I served 30 years in the Navy and have had people claim I was "un-American", or a "French Surrender Monkey" simply because I support Democrats and believe in a Progressive Tax Code!!!

All of those folks who said that to me had one thing in common - a steady diet of AM radio and Faux News.

That's why if we really want to break the damn in Washington and move this country forward, there has to be a "fricking" landslide election this year, followed by a complete dismantling of the poison being spread on our "public" airwaves.

Trump is giving us that opportunity, but it's going to require a 50 State push.

This bastard is the culmination of 30 years of unchallenged HATE.

He not only needs to be beaten...he needs to be beaten for "effing" badly that promoting the hatred of Limbaugh, Hannity and Savage is NO LONGER PROFITABLE.

IMHO, the BLM movement and the we are the 99% movement are protesting the wrong places. Where they need to be is outside their local AM Radio Station by the thousands! That's where the hate comes from...and that's where the Cons power comes from.

Those stations need to be protested. They need to be disrupted. They need to be challenged.

I've said it before, but I don't give a damn if they replay old Red Skelton comedy routines the rest of the time...if they broadcast one fucking second of Limbaugh, or Hannity, or any of the other cookie-cutter hate-mongers, they need to be taken down

If I remember correctly, ISIS sprung up due to GWB's vicious warmongering in Iraq, which destabilized that region greatly. But why should we expect Donald to know anything about foreign policy? He just recently learned that Russia annexed Crimea, a full 2 years after the annexation took place. Unreal.
