    Insane Bachmann: Iraq Must ‘Reimburse’ for War

    October 24, 2011 // 2 Comments »

    Republican crazy person Michele Bachmann (R., Pluto.) thinks it’s time to present the Iraqis with a bill.

    “I believe that Iraq should reimburse the United States fully for the amount of money that we have spent to liberate these people,” said Bachmann, apparently now released into the wild unsedated, on Face the Nation.

    She also expressed outrage at the Iraqis’ apparent lack of gratitude toward the United States, almost as if she just awoke from an eight year coma.

    “We are there as the nation that liberated these people,” she said. “And that’s the thanks that the United States is getting?

    Sadr: US Embassy Employees Occupiers to be Fought

    // No Comments »

    Ruh roh. This won’t work out well.

    Muqtada Al Sadr, leader of the Sadrist militias and all around bad guy, said that he considers all US Embassy employees in Baghdad as “occupiers”, and stressed that resisting them after 2011 is an “obligation.”

    In response to a query of one of his followers about the increase of embassy employees from 5000 to 15000 after the US military withdraws at the end of 2011, Sadr said “they are all occupiers and resisting them after the end of the agreement is an obligation.”

    Almost all of the new employees of the World’s Largest Embassy (c) will be contract mercenaries hired to defend the building and protect the diplomats inside.
