You've got a better chance of your family living more than a week being a cop in mexico and NOT taking cartel bribes than being a cop in iraq.

I usually don't comment on things like this
But exactly what job is it they are supposed to do ? Kill other people ?
Is that American soldier telling them they aren't doing their jobs because they wont kill ?
All we want is their oil, they know it and hate us.

Yes, I believe that is why we are fighting "radical Islam". The "haves" (Western culture) versus the "have nots" (third world and Islamic cultures). Oil, power, religon 
Do you use the type of language that soldier used ? |

I wish I could say the ridiculousness of thinking we're fighting "radical Islam" for their oil is surprising to me... then I remember that 18% of our population still believes Obama is a Muslim. |

I don't believe Barry gives 2 poops and a pee about religion, any religion.
"They" don't want any part of "western" culture forced on them. |

The "have nots" in your example are the richest nations in the world. |
