It takes a genius to state the obvious ...



AGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi lawmakers said on Saturday that Washington should take responsibility for the turmoil in Iraq and stop blaming Baghdad, Iran and Syria.

Frustrated by criticism from the United States over their slow progress towards political goals meant to foster national reconciliation, Iraqi leaders said Washington would be better served by examining its own progress in the unpopular war.

"The Americans always try to pretend the responsibility for cleaning up this mess isn't theirs and tend to shift blame onto Iraq, Iran and Syria for everything that goes wrong," said veteran Kurdish lawmaker Mahmoud Othman.

"But they should stop this nonsense and admit that most of the accountability rests on their shoulders," he told Reuters.

More here
...

  • We invaded them.
  • We disbanded their army - though it seems we can no longer remember how that came about.
  • We allowed their infrastructure (water, electricity) to fall apart.
  • We neglected to provide any security after the war.
  • We won the war but had no plan for the peace.
  • We left military installations housing untold tons of arms and munitions unguarded and open to looting once the "Mission" had been "Accomplished" - and in due course those installations were looted while (in some cases) our troops watched - because they had no orders to cover the circumstances.
  • We went into Iraq with a total ignorance of 1,400 years of tribal animosity between Sunni and Shiite or its importance.
  • We thought the merest whiff of democracy would overcome 3,000 years of traditional, tribal systems.
  • We thought purple fingers meant something.
  • We underestimated the cost to ourselves and overestimated the ability of post war Iraqi oil revenues to pay for this war.

The list goes on and on ... but they're responsible for cleaning up the mess that we've made of things. If they're responsible and we're not, lets leave them to their on devices. They're intelligent people. I'm sure they can figure a way out of this for themselves.

After all, wasn't it Ronny Reagan who said, "The nine most frightening words I could imagine hearing were: I’m from the government and I’m here to help."

I presume he was referring to the US government?

Hi, Ive just found this website.
Im wondering if I wrote this correctly. If its wrong, tell me.

Im not sure if I should buy jailbreak ps3. I read somewhere its a method which empowers you to play playstation 3 games on the ps3. Ive located a site which lets you to do a ps3 slim 3.55 jailbreak and ps3 jailbreak fat.

http://www.lesliehindman.com/index.php?/member/158333/

Did someone buy ps3 jailbreak on that site? I heard terrific words like you are able to jailbreak and unlock ps3 from official firmware 1.90 to official fw 3.55. If you possess a playstation 3 with fw 3.55 or less you are able to positively unlock your ps3 with that website. Does somebody know if that unlock for the ps3 contains the fw from Kmeaw or other cfw? www.jbmyps3.com looks like a wonderful website. ps3 jailbreak buy is costs less than buying other games for ps3. Do you think I should buy this ps3 jailbreak?
Okay, I consider I should to jailbreak ps3 buy. A lot less expensive than purchasing ps3 games every time ;).

Thank you for all the answers
