Would anybody be shocked at this point, if in next episode of this made-for-tv political drama, we find out Jill Stein was controlled by Russian puppet-masters as part of their anti-Hillary election-meddling scheme?
- Wow, this is what we teach our children, really. We shouldn’t have options, or a voice and do what #msm tells us! F U @ananavarro
- @ananavarro Shame on your #McCarthyism push.
- Whoa! Democrats continue to be crazy #Orwellian #McCarthyist bitches!
- You don't have evidence to back up your accusation against @DrJillStein, because none exists. So you frame your smear as a rhetorical question. This is guilt by insinuation. Sen. McCarthy would have been impressed. Shame on you.
- Я использовал Google translate для написания этого на русском языке. Это делает меня русским шпионом сейчас? When is CNN going to send #Drumpf the invoice for free airtime?

- Put down the crack pipe, lady.
- Very disappointed in you, Ana. Thought you were better than this.
- MSM may as well be the National Enquirer all hype and no substance. Leaving the public to draw its own conclusion wether or not it is factual. Ana Navarro has joined the band wagon of drama and misinformation. What a shame. So much for investigative journalism. Kiss it...
- Hacks that just want to keep drama not reporting going. You will say anything to get recognition and ratings regardless if it is true or not. May as well be Trump flapping his lips and desperately trying to misinform so 3rd parties are under cut by you're corp 2 party owned butt.
- Ana, I usually love your commentary! But I need to know, are you implying that you believe she IS a Russian puppet, or just saying that would be crazy but not surprising in this nightmare we call a reality?
- What drivel this stream is. Everybody looking for a problem where there isn't one. Anything MSM can do to try to be little and beat down 3rd parties just so they can have something to report on. You are no longer reporters who work for the public. You are just wanna be hacks.
- What isn’t shocking is that you are a puppet of the American Oligarchs
- Your childish denial of how your incompetent candidate lost is so sad, and you can’t understand why & how ; you are going to lose again in 2020. Blame the others is always the easiest & most irresponsible way to proceed
- the entire world is watching, i’m from Mexico and we are cracking down here of how pathetic your russiagate is, because you are the bully that is whining cause someone respond after you have abused of everyone in the playground you have lost all internal credibility
- You as nicaraguan, by participating in this charade are betraying the memory of every latinamerican that has lost their life or suffered poverty due to US fireign policy.
- If anyone consuming this bought garbage (Navarro’s OP) cannot see the circus it plainly is, we will not be saved; the oligarchs win.
- Robert Parry who broke the Iran-Contra story & investigated the “October Surprise” —actual journalism that informs the electorate— rightly laughed while calling the $44k spent on 1 FB post & possibly 2 ads mentioning Dr. Jill “infinitesimal”. $6BILLION free airtime 4 Trump by MSM
- Why do you hate democracy, Ana?
- Would anybody be shocked at this point, that #TheResistance hates democracy?
- The only thing I am ever surprised by is how often Republicans/Democrats, keepers of state power for over 100 years, scapegoat 3rd parties for anything under the sun. You're an elephant howling at a mouse. One day the mice will run riot.
- There's a better chance we find out you're just a CNN hack, brought to us by their sponsors. Oh wait...you are a hack.
- If youbwould not hqve fixed it against Bernie you would not have president trump. Hillary time was in 2008..she was the wrong candidate for 2016 period..please for the sake of our Republic (not democracy) please get the Fucl over it
- Hide your kids, hide your pets. Russians under every bed. In every closet gtfoh with that
- I think you're controlled by Russians.
- No because i voted for @DrJillStein in 2012
- Yes, and there's a red, under your bed And there's a little yellow man in your head
- I would be shocked. But if Russia could trick us into a green new deal with two facebook ads would that be so bad?
- Welcome to the paranoid world of US MSM-land, where even having dinner with a Russian at the same table will land you a ticket to the guillotine. Patently anti-democratic lunacy and ranting, on behalf of a murderous clown car war machine that needs a six-pack of humble pie. Wow.
- It’s new age McCarthyism
- The world is shocked at the brazen inhumanity of a supposedly "liberal" press & media class endlessly cheering on Russia-bashing conspiracy theories, horrific Wars of Aggression against the poor across MENA, and transparent apologies for a US Oligarchy now totally out of control.
- This is the same social media, sling-the-crap, what-if dribble you seem to be complaining others are doing. If you're a big fan of "what if" - buy some lottery tickets but stay off Twitter
- FOH
- Even though I am not Republican, I have grown to like you. However, this is dishonest. To even try and include Stein or Sanders with the Russians is deplorable and cheap. You're better than that. Stay classy Ana.
For those who don't get it, Ana is from a Contra family -- they've never respected democracy -- though they did help flood the US with drugs in the 80s.
This is C.I.'s "Iraq snapshot:"
Sgt. Christina Marie Schoenecker, 26, of Arlington, Kan., died in a noncombat incident Monday in Iraq while supporting Operation Inherent Resolve. stripes.com/army-identifie…
Next month, the Iraq War hits the 15 year mark. Why is the US military still in Iraq?
For 'training'?
Soldiers from 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland are two months into their tour of Iraq, helping to train Iraqi and Kurdish security forces
Looks like there are plenty of other forces who can do the training.
And these other forces aren't the targets of ire and threats.
APN NEWS reports:
The US administration is facing growing pressure to withdraw its forces from Iraq, while Washington has been trying to get more forces from NATO member states for deployment in the country with the aim of providing “training” and “advice” to the Iraqi armed forces.
According to Press TV, Hadi al-Ameri, a senior commander of t Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) has told in an interview, on Tuesday, that now Daesh (IS) has been defeated in the country and there is no need for the presence of US troops.
He was quoted saying, “We are told that the presence of US forces in Iraq is on the request of the government in Baghdad. We are yet to get a clear statement from the government regarding the number of US troops which is said to be a large number.”
Again, why is the US military still in Iraq?
When does this war ever end?
Again, another US service member has died in Iraq.
From the US Defense Dept:
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DoD Identifies Army Casualty
Press Operations
Release No: NR-056-18
Feb. 20, 2018
The Department of Defense announced today the death of a soldier supporting Operation Inherent Resolve.
Sgt. Christina Marie Schoenecker, 26, of Arlington, Kansas, died Feb. 19 in Baghdad, from a non-combat related incident. Schoenecker was assigned to the 89th Sustainment Brigade, Wichita, Kansas. The incident is under investigation.
For more information, media may contact 451st Expeditionary Sustainment Command Public Affairs at (316) 681-1759.
Kyle Rempfer (MILITARY TIMES) notes, "Schoenecker‘s death is the third casualty of the year for the Inherent Resolve mission. Another American service member supporting the mission died Jan. 8, and a soldier from the United Kingdom died Jan. 31, both of which were also non-combat related incidents, according to DoD announcements." He also notes that this is thought to be Schoenecker's first deployment to Iraq. Chad Garland (STARS AND STRIPES) adds, "Schoenecker enlisted in May 2009, according to details provided by the sustainment command. A sergeant since January 2015, her awards include an Army Achievement Medal with one oak leaf cluster and an Army Reserve Components Achievement Medal with two oak leaf clusters."
Meanwhile Matthew Waterman (IDS NEWS) is upset about Iraq -- or upset that the US did not promise millions in grants to Iraq for reconstruction:
The U.S. is by far the country most responsible for the mess Iraq now finds itself in. IS group is a phenomenon that essentially grew out of al-Qaeda in Iraq. Al-Qaeda had virtually no presence in Iraq before the U.S.’s aggressive and illegal invasion of the country in 2003.
We could go back further. The U.S. has been at war with or in Iraq almost without interruption for nearly 28 years. After supporting and arming Saddam Hussein’s regime in its aggression against Iran throughout the 1980s, the Bush administration abruptly turned on Hussein when he invaded Kuwait.
The United States trounced Iraq in the first Gulf War, but that wasn’t enough. The U.S. led the implementation of sanctions the U.N. says killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children. President Clinton bombed Iraq repeatedly throughout his term.
The 2003 invasion — the worst international crime of the century so far — imploded Iraqi society and led to hundreds of thousands more deaths.
After all this, for the U.S. to refuse to give Iraq any aid, offering only loans to a government already deeply in debt, is outrageous.
The claim that the Islamic State 'grew' out of al-Qaeda in Iraq is conventional wisdom. It's conventional wisdom because it lets a great number of people off the hook. ISIS grew out of Nouri al-Maliki. Nouri is what split ISIS and al-Qaeda in Iraq -- his actions. It's actually al-Qaeda in Mesopotamia and while many of its members stayed 'true' to their beliefs -- and carried their attacks over to Syria -- what became ISIS felt the focus should be Iraq where Nouri al-Maliki was persecuting the Sunni population.
They were being attacked by his forces, kidnapped by his forces, disappeared into jails, prisons and graves, Iraqi women were being beaten and raped in jail (and they were there because?) and so much more was taking place.
Saying it great out of al-Qaeda or the other nonsense that it was because of imprisonment in Iraq?
Those are clever lies to avoid dealing with the reality of what took place in Iraq after Barack Obama gave Nouri al-Maliki a second term as prime minister especially.
The Iraqi people voted in March of 2010 and Nouri lost to Iraqiya. As US Gen Ray Odierno had predicted ahead of the election, Nouri wasn't going anywhere. Odierno had asked what happens if Nouri loses the election and refuses to step down?
What happened?
8 months of political stalemate.
His refusal to step down brought the government to a halt.
Instead of siding with the Iraqi people, Barack went around the voters and Iraq's Constitution. The US brokered a legal contract (The Erbil Agreement) which gave Nouri the second term.
His secret prisons and much more had already been exposed in his first term.
But that didn't matter.
They needed Nouri, the US government insisted internally, to finally get the oil and gas law passed.
That's what mattered.
Now let's point out that the oil and gas law never got passed by the Parliament -- and though they argue Hayder al-Abadi would get it passed when they named him prime minister in 2014, he didn't get it passed either.
But for this reason, they looked the other way as Nouri's abuses mounted and mounted.
Maybe an editorial about that could be written?
As for the US government currently not forking over more millions and billions?
Why bother?
First off, the US has repeatedly installed the cowards who fled Iraq and then agitated outside of Iraq for the US to invade.
So, in other words, Iraq's leading politicians -- certainly the prime ministers -- have been from the group calling for Iraq to be invaded.
They wanted it, they got it.
They're also in charge of Iraq.
As we've maintained throughout this never ending war, the US government providing money to the Iraqi people?
Absolutely, we support that.
Providing it to these corrupt leaders?
No, we're not for that.
Iraq's most recent ranking on Transparency International? The 166th most corrupt government out of 176 governments around the world.
That's where aid's going to go?
Into those hands?
None of it has reached the Iraqi people in the past.
They have no jobs. The median age is 19.
If you think Iraq's a mess right now -- and it is, torn apart by war -- wait a few more years when there are still no jobs for those young people.
Iraq is a rich country thanks to oil.
But the people live in poverty.
Hayder's said he's fighting corruption.
Nouri said the same thing, remember?
In fact, when the Arab Spring almost overthrew him, he begged for 100 days to address corruption and this led to protesters leaving the streets.
After 100 days?
He had nothing to show for it and didn't care at all.
They say a lot.
They do damn little.
Hayder says he's fighting corruption. He's said that since the fall of 2014.
The results?
Nothing to speak of though, elections coming up in May, he has recently been grabbing headlines for claims of addressing it.
Ryan Crocker's back in the news.
166 out of 176
