BULLY BOY PRESS &     CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

ELDERLY DRUNK TOM HAYDEN WENT OFF ANOTHER JAG AND ENDORSED HILLARY CLINTON.

THE OLD DRUNK WAS ON A DIFFERENT BENDER IN 2008.

HE'S BEING CALLED OUT FOR HIS LATEST PUBLIC INTOXICATION.

BUT OLD MAN HAYDEN REMAINS UNMOVED AS HE INSISTS, "AS LONG AS SOMEONE WILL CHANGE MY ADULT DIAPERS, I'M GOOD TO GO."



FROM THE TCI WIRE:




Murtaza Hussain (THE INTERCEPT) reports:


MORE THAN 90 PERCENT of young people in Iraq consider the United States to be an enemy of their country, according to a new poll.
After years spent justifying the war as a “liberation” of the Iraqi people, the survey casts further doubt on the success of that endeavor.



Today the US Defense Dept announced:


Strikes in Iraq

Attack, fighter and ground attack aircraft conducted seven strikes in Iraq, coordinated with and in support of Iraq’s government:

-- Near Huwayjah, a strike struck an ISIL tactical unit and destroyed an ISIL assembly area.

-- Near Hit, two strikes struck two separate ISIL tactical units and destroyed six ISIL machine gun positions and four ISIL fighting positions.

-- Near Mosul, two strikes struck two separate ISIL tactical units and destroyed four ISIL assembly areas and an ISIL fighting position.

-- Near Qayyarah, a strike destroyed an ISIL vehicle bomb.

-- Near Tal Afar, a strike produced inconclusive results.



Task force officials define a strike as one or more kinetic events that occur in roughly the same geographic location to produce a single, sometimes cumulative, effect. Therefore, officials explained, a single aircraft delivering a single weapon against a lone ISIL vehicle is one strike, but so is multiple aircraft delivering dozens of weapons against buildings, vehicles and weapon systems in a compound, for example, having the cumulative effect of making those targets harder or impossible for ISIL to use. Accordingly, officials said, they do not report the number or type of aircraft employed in a strike, the number of munitions dropped in each strike, or the number of individual munition impact points against a target.



These bombings have been carried out daily since August of 2014.



Again, Murtaza Hussain reports:


MORE THAN 90 PERCENT of young people in Iraq consider the United States to be an enemy of their country, according to a new poll.
After years spent justifying the war as a “liberation” of the Iraqi people, the survey casts further doubt on the success of that endeavor.



And how has this addressed the problem of the Islamic State?

It has not.


The editorial board of THE PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE reminds:


The Iraqi government of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has its own problems, considered largely to be a result of the actions of its Shiite Muslim leadership in monopolizing authority in Baghdad, excluding the 35-percent Sunni Muslims who ruled the country from 1932 to the U.S. invasion in 2003. That piece of unwise religious discrimination is bad enough in itself, but it is joined by serious pushing and shoving among the Shiites themselves.



The refusal to address the persecution of the Sunnis, the refusal to bring the Sunnis into the government fully is what resulted in the rise of the Islamic State.


Until that's addressed, time's just being wasted.
