Well, this is certainly not what the Bush administration and the companies that owned it had in mind. Who would have guessed that “American companies’ reputation here for overcharging and shoddy workmanship” would hurt our image even more than an invasion and occupation?
And unlike in previous years, this time it has nothing to do with Israel.
Turkey’s doing well, which is a plus, but so is Iran, which is kind of a minus. The United Arab Emirates is doing really well, having poured nearly 100 times as much into Iraq as investors in the U.S. But fear not: Iraqi contractor Al Jiburi Construction, which is building the billion-dollar sports complex that will host the Gulf Games in 2013, says, “We have a couple American companies as our subcontractors.”

At least all those dead bastards will sleep peacefully, in their graves of freedom, sound in the knowledge that the USA spent a trillion dollars making them ‘free’.

ROIs that suck — Nice.
Perfect headline. And I’d suggest if they’re buying Peugeots they may need to reevaluate their definition of shoddy workmanship . . .
@5:
“Bang” in what sense? This is Iraq we’re talking about.
@8 – As in ‘destroy that’, ‘crush it’, ‘blow a load on’, ‘anihilate’…does that help clear things up?
Muslims are the new killing it.
@9:
Oh, now I see. Thanks.

Glass ‘em. Glass ‘em all.
@Anal – I’ll give you that. It was more the fact that I clicked into the threat and music started blasting. Usually I can sit here in silence without anyone being the wiser.
women are not property. take those head thingys off
@19 it’s called modesty.
They should def leave the head thingys on.
And the shoes.
No, Yes, Yes, No…
@19 = misogynist. examine your motives.
if modesty is a good thing, then the men should have to wear them too…but they are a bunch of sexist assholes who wipe their ass with their hands and behead people
Shazar:
It turns out that while you’re a better writer than Greg, at least he wasn’t a condescending douchebag.
Stick your politics in your ass.

Who are those broads?
@24 Agreed, this douche nozzle will soon be posting about “Dick Cheney and Karl Rove running the secret shadow government from the basement of Wal-Mart’s Bentonville HQ”.
Dick and Karl want to know why you leaked that info, @27.
