Respond now.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
When boy? WHEN?
I love that whole clip.
It is just like the frustration of watching the Iraq government. You have that pegged Bash.
I think Dan the Man’s tribal law for Iraq will end
up being the final solution but even that may fail.
Those resentments they have against eachother run
too deep. It is too bad that they cannot see eachother
as Iraqi first and then have their loyalties to their sect or tribe as you say.
Will check out Chandler’s Watch Command and look forward to hearing you discuss Iran there!
September 10th, 2007 at 12:19 amRight on, Bash. And it was cute seeing the whole family chip in on the opening sequence.
September 10th, 2007 at 12:54 amThanks Sandy K. Another fine example of Bashiage.
It was the Ottomans who figured out how to contain the rivalries within Iraq. They divide the country into three seperate entities with a strong-man government(Ottaman) that took no shit from anyone.
Iraq was then and still is now…a tribal culture.
It was the Brits who tried the Central government one state idea which ultimately gave rise to Saddam.
Without a strongman at the helm, the Iraqi central government idea will ultimately fail in my opinion.
Learn a lesson from Muslim history. The Ottomans got it right.
People need to stop trying to measure the Iraqis by western standards.Western standards work in the First World just fine. But it took centuries of wars and in-fighting to make it so.
We don’t have “centuries” to wait for the Iraqis to get it together. But we do have a wealth of Iraqi historic references to draw our ideas from.
Would someone please start teaching our State Department Muslim culture and history? I’m fucking sick and tired of all these US and Western governments that haven’t a fucking clue.
If the “State” had any real sense, they’d hire a guy like Robert Spencer, Hugh Fitzgerald, Walid Phares, Walid Shoebat,or Ibn Warriq, to come up with a plan for Iraqi governence that makes sense and takes into consideration, Iraqi history, culture and religions.
Yeah, I’ll keep dreaming. Just like that dream the zipper skipper had when he didn’t have sex with that woman.
September 10th, 2007 at 1:02 amIf we act on the belief that they will never find a way to live in peaceful cooperation then they never will; and there will be no lasting resolution.
I do think that human civilizations can evolve to live with and cooperate with each other, maintaining religous identity while cooperating within secular governance. Maybe the Iraqis can join us in the modern world and be a leader in that region. Or not.
Either way we have to ensure our own security first and foremost.
September 10th, 2007 at 4:51 amI think it can still be done, just waiting on Maliki’s successor or even his successor to be the guy.
September 10th, 2007 at 11:08 amanother great presentation bash. luv ya work
only thing I can come up with is 3 sections of Iraq. some type of congress/senate gov’t to represent each section and one central gov’t. really don’t know what would work, as you said and others have posted, they have and will continue to fight each other, it’s all they know.
I am from S. Calif. I know the radio program. too funny, I’ll try and be around and not to drunk to call and chat. that would be good stuff.
keep at it bash. I read some of the comments you get. even ppl being so low class as to say shit about your family. fook’em there are enough ppl that know the truth and you have our support
September 10th, 2007 at 2:39 pmBashman in color! Are we in Oz now?
My two cents: Divide Iraq into three semi-autonomous states, not regions, states. Replace the central government with an “interstate” council, which arbitrates relations between the three states. The three states MUST conduct joint military exercises, probably quarterly. The education system will be centrally coordinated and standardized to promote better relations between the peoples of Kurdistan, Anbar, and whatever the damn Shi’ites want to call their state as long as it isn’t Western Iran.
… and they all will live f’in happily ever after, god damn it!
September 10th, 2007 at 3:49 pmDan (the Infidel) said: “Learn a lesson from Muslim history. The Ottomans got it right.”
Wasn’t the Ottoman Empire and Caliphate? That is what the Islamists want, a new Caliphate.
September 10th, 2007 at 3:52 pmAchieving political stability in Iraq? Hadn’t thought that far down the road Bash. Could be due to this median I’m parked on. Damn fog.
September 10th, 2007 at 6:45 pmWow Pedro, and I thought Bashman making it through a radio show without cussing was a tough one man.
I think you nailed it in your vid Bash.
Ship all the Iraqi Shia off to JEWISH military school with the Finkelstein kid. Ship all the Iraqi Sunni’s off to pick strawberries with the Mexicans. And ship all the Iraqi Kurds off to pick bananas with the Talimans. Three times three equals…number nine. Wahlaa, political stability in Iraq.
Insert big burp here.
Awesome with a capital fuckin A Bash!
You are 100% right again. Hate always has and will always be a part of that “religion”.
I look forward to listening saturday.
Mabey you could drop my name.
September 10th, 2007 at 8:35 pmLove The Clip……especially the piggy at the beginning……
September 11th, 2007 at 1:19 amYou pretty much nailed the issue of communication in the US…..
Left and right living in the same house and neither has any idea what the other is saying….or cares.
Brilliant video as usual Bash!
…..Hey, where’s the vote button?
September 11th, 2007 at 5:16 amGreat video Bashman! I feel safe assuming that the Iraqi Government Officials never learned to share their toys when they were kids either (or maybe they didn’t have toys). I believe that a Democracy can work anywhere, it’s just a matter of educating the people to the concept of “Freedom of Religion”. As I look at Europe’s Secular societies I see some correlation that they may tend to create a vacuum for Religious extremists, thus the Muslim influx in Germany and France. It’s true however that those are vastly different situations as the major problem with Iraq is that their Political Parties are based on Sectarian Ideologies which many of the Leaders aren’t willing to part with.
As for Educating the people to get along, so that they can live side by side peacefully as we do here in America, well that has to happen between the citizens of Iraq (I believe that most Iraqis want peace) and I would say that in their hands is where the hope rests. They citizens need to figure out that it’s O.K. for them to tell the Government what to do instead of the other way around!
September 11th, 2007 at 1:08 pmBashman is my favorite color. It kind of looks like a mix of red, white, and blue.
September 11th, 2007 at 5:18 pmBash, ‘that’ was your best one yet.
September 11th, 2007 at 5:55 pmOooorraaaaahhh! Stay motivated Bashman!
Hey everybody, check out Bash on my show this weekend when we will get Bash’s take on Iran, the Patraeus report, and I may even ask about his take on Osama’s new message. You can listen live online at 9pm PST (as we are in San Diego) by going to chandlerswatch.com or kcbq.com! At the end of every show we roast the Eight Of The State and the Blue Falcon of the week! Join Bash and I for all of the fun.
Semper Fi,

Son of a BITCH!
Hey Bash give a shout out to The Infidels over here Sat.
September 11th, 2007 at 7:11 pm
Hey….good vid, Bash.
September 11th, 2007 at 7:39 pmI got no answers either.
September 13th, 2007 at 4:28 pmAnother great video, Bashman. I’ve been watching you since you started on Pat Dollard’s site. I’m an old lady and love the clips. Congratulations to you being on Chandler’s Watch. Hopefully I can get KCBQ here in Texas. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing your future videos.
September 13th, 2007 at 4:57 pmThanks for all the good words…
SCIRUS! Thank you, ma’am, for those kind words of encouragement. And “old” is a relative term!
You can actually listen to the radio show live on the Internet when it happens by going to KCBQ.com on Saturday night at 9:00 PM PST and clicking on the little radio tower with the lightning bolt on it that says “Listen Live”…its free!
September 13th, 2007 at 6:51 pmBash. Have I ever told you that you’re amazing?
September 13th, 2007 at 9:50 pmJust thought I’d let you know.
As always, well said.
“Oil and water and Al Gore”…you made Pepsi come out my nose. Damn you.
September 14th, 2007 at 9:37 amThanks for the info. I will be listening to the show live on the internet. BTW I have a very conservative grandchild as well as her conservative Mom. We all just think you are so awesome.
