Never claimed to be an expert...seems you're the one claiming that.
just an FYI because CNN said it, doesn't make it true. They make shit up to make sure smug assholes like you feel like you were right and all comfy that the world is a better place now...
I just love narcissism and the fact you have to be the one who says you're smart and knowledgable. Someones dad should have beat you a little more as a child. Maybe you would be less of a cock smooch...or less angry at the fact you're flacid already.
Just a little note, I haven't been to Iraq and nor will I ever. I don't deploy there. I do, however have 2 friends in the stan and lost one in Iraq so I'm willing to take what they say over any bullshit you "studied".
