Daily Show had a good bit on it. Also, if the anti-NRA crowd wants to get somewhere they should just have some black men in hoodies start open carrying around where old white people live.

Can't wait to see how the pro-gun people spin this example of a guy concealed carrying stopping a potentially large massacre early by killing one of the two gunmen.

Did Saddam have these kinds of problems when he ran Iraq? Dudes randomly seizing whole provinces and major citys? Also that airport in Pakistan is getting hit again.

Do we know how injured the two bad guys were before they murdersuicided? I read that one of the officers got a shot off and the responding officers traded shots as well. I wonder if anybody tagged these two douches and they ate bullets because they were wounded and out of gas.

I don't know if this is hilarious or sad. The government has lost the city and at least 500,000 people have fled at this point. The thing that is super funny to read are comments on news sites of people saying, "I told you so, this never would have happened under Saddam".

I wonder how many miliseconds it took the Iraqi Police in Ramadi to decide to flip on the government. I haven't seen any news reports about them fighting the government yet, but when I was there those guys were basically working for the Sunni insurgency already and mostly got hired out of it so pretty much no chance they aren't wearing facemasks and cutting off heads right now. They probably have been the whole time, really. Some of the pictures on the news show ISIS dudes riding in IP trucks.

Firearms aren't magic, you actually have to know what you're doing, like a soldier, or an off-duty cop, or (apparently) a maniac who's crazy enough to look up how to do it on the internet.

They kidnapped the Turkish consul to Mosul and a bunch of Turkish truck drivers. That's dumb. Also they seem to be well on the way of taking Tikrit as well. I just wish I could see how Dubya is taking this.

The WaPo did a story on Bergdahl based on a computer and some notebooks that he sent to a friend (girlfriend?) just before he wandered off to be a guest of the Taliban for the next few years. Looks like he was bounced out of the Coast Guard in 2006 before the Army took him in 2008. From what I can tell he shouldn't have been in any military force more intense and disciplined than an Airsoft league.quote:They described Bergdahl as an introspective young man who sometimes painted his fingernails black and identified with Japanese samurai warriors and medieval knights. He was often seen reading and writing in a notebook. He liked to portray himself as a dark, adventurous soul with a chivalrous spirit, a dramatic persona his friends often teased him about. So that guy you know who played a lot of Vampire: The Masquerade and basically went nowhere after highschool? This is where he ended up. Bergdahl’s writings reveal a fragile young man

That, "complete loser" and "dude who wants to hurt people" compose over half our enlisted ground forces though, so good luck. Maybe we could start recruiting from the standpoint of "what positive attributes are we looking for" like every normal real job out there instead of just running candidates through a series of yes/no answer checklists and seeing if they meet a collection of absolute bare minimums and also making the environment appealing to the sort of recruits we want to attract and hahahahahaha sorry I can't finish

So the coda to the Iraq War is that the country falls to guys who are even more radical than AQ. Which means that instead of accomplishing not very much we're actually worse off than if we'd never gone in the first place.
