Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki has urged residents of the embattled city of Fallujah to force out insurgents linked to al-Qaeda who have taken control there. Wait, didn’t we hear somewhere that Al Qaeda is dead and GM is alive? Ah, must’ve been that fictitious Ben Ghazi guy, messing everyone’s heads with 3 am prank phone calls again. ObamaCare is a success, though!

  • Obama response. "Let's look at the facts. I never said AQ was dead. What I did say, ahhh, meant to say, on occasion, in some, ahh, specific instances, is that AQ is dead in regions, ahhh, sectors, where my highly successful drone policy, is in place. Remember, I killed Bin Laden. As a result, AQ has been, ahh, severly diminished. So really, you folks should, ahh, should not listen to phony scandals and false statements, only reported on strictly partisan websites like IHTM. "

    • Actually, he said Bin laden is dead and Al Qaeda is on the run, what he didn't say is that they were running to Iraq, because we pulled out all our troops and there would be no resistance.

  • They should have let the US Military do its job. Break their shit and kill the enemy. Then the Iraqi government wouldn't be begging the people of Fallujah to kick out al-qaeda.

    quagmire, heinz-kerry and hildabeast must be so proud of their accomplishments in the middle east. Syria is now a resort country, Libya is a thriving entrepreneurs paradise and Iran is leading the peace march across the globe.

    Progressive is correct, quagmire only sees those of us who believe in the US Constitution as the law of the land as the terrorists. I'll gladly accept that label, right along with Adams, Hancock, Franklin, Jefferson and Henry.

  • But according to Quagmire and the gang, the war on terror is effectively over, except for those pesky domestic Tea Party Terrorists who don't believe in his greatness.
