I wonder what they're upset about, after all, the USA showered them with flower petals and fixed their nation for them. /s

So you mean the Iraqis aren't going to build a statue of George Bush in the middle of Baghdad to thank him for all the good things he's done for Iraqis? How many terrorist bombings in Iraq before the Iraq invasion for Israel in 2003? How many since that time? Like one every other day. Thanks George. The gift that keeps on giving.

No, but some fake Iraqi organization will rise up to pretend that Iraqis want one. Then Halliburton will get the contract. It's all good. $$$

Probably because they gave away all their flowers and chocolates welcoming American troops as liberators. Just like Cheney said would happen.

For a Sunni Iraqi who grew up in post-invasion Iraq, ISIS must seem like fucking messias

Muslims are always angry. Think about it. Your holy book tells you that you're special and amazing and deserve to rule the world by virtue of the fact that you believe what's in this book. And then you look around and figure out that Muslims are backwards-ass, poverty-stricken (with the exception of a thousand dudes with the same surname) and forever blowing each other up over some minor disagreement about something that happened fourteen centuries ago.
That kind of cognitive dissonance would piss anyone off.

2 reasons:
1, Bushco nuking their country for oil;
2, isn't the only kind of Muslim an angry Muslim?
