Who better to use their experience in robbing and pillaging. Not to mention CAPPING an occasional VICTIM.

2. You couldn't make this stuff up if you tried |
|
Jeez. I'm a novelist, and I'd never be able to get this plot past an editor!
Plus, wasn't it in TN that they just suspended some guy who arranged at "terror drill" by bursting in on a city council meeting with guns and black masks or something?
Ok, Tennessee, let's pull it together, you're going off the deep end. ;)
(Said with affection for all the rational people in the state!)

But it's not like they'll be having any "buyer's remorse." More likely, it will be fond memories of the security under Sadam.

13. These poor fuckers can't catch a break |
|
We utterly destroy their country, contaminate it with depleted uranium, torture their citizens, blow up all civil order, they come to the U.S. and we fucking rob them.

Don't include me or anyone I know with the gutter trash that actually robbed them. There is no excuse to rob anyone.

I am new to this board and go to med school in Memphis, and I can tell you that this is not a suprise. I am doing my surgery rotation now and see all sorts of folks come in w/ gunshot/stab wounds. Sucks for those Iraqis, but this happens every night here. I guarantee their money went towards the bustling Memphis crack-cocaine industry.
