    Jesus Christ, AQB, you're really looking to quibble over meaningless crap today, aren't you? Read the fucking post I was responding to --which was about pulling troops out of Iraq--and it should be obvious to anyone with common sense that we were talking about Iraq, not Saudi Arabia or Kuwait. Sorry if you're too dense to follow context.

    And doesn't actually matter if the word region, Iraq or whatever is used there. Either way, the meaning and point of the post remains exactly the same.

    We were flying missions over Iraq on a daily basis, enforcing a no-fly zone.

    Stop posting idiotic shit and I won't quibble over it. We had troops in the Gulf & ME long before ISIS showed up.

    It's the fucking ABSENCE of troops in Iraq that helped lead to the creation of ISIS.

    There was an absence of American troops on the ground in Iraq before 2003. So why wasn't ISIS created before then?

    Actually, I was using AQB's logic.

    Absence of American troops on ground in Iraq = ISIS creation

    I just merely pointed out that there weren't American troops on the ground in Iraq prior to 2003, which = No ISIS creation.

    You can't be this dumb. You just can't be.
