The Wolfman was flipping out about about the possibility of the Iraqi army running away and leaving the 400 US guys at al-Baghdadi to fend for themselves.  He also has a boner for the Khurds.

But not islamic terrorists.
He never uses both words in the same sentence.

Nor does he mentions the actual name of Mohammed, because as a muslim he can't without saying PBUH, which would out him as a muslim to everybody.

He also never says the word "America" because he can't without first saying "God damn"

I linked to a news report about that base a month ago in this thread, the Iraqis then were of the opinion that the US would never let the base fall because the US forces were there; half-implied that was the only reason the Iraqi forces were still hanging around.

I hate to be all G.W. Bush about it. But let 'em come. They attack that base and they're gonna get the whippin of their lives (which will be short).
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: I see.

I hope the US has a good plan for defending this base, because obviously ISIS would make it a priority to attack Americans, or any western/Euro troops.

He's going back, isn't he?

He should be sent to Iraq, to show locals how redraw maps properly. I mean could possibly go wrong?
