@BillRM,
Good catch, TonyRM, the actual quote is: "If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog and a man. "

@layman,
Yes I was right he compared a dog to a man........hate people who attempt to turn such a man into a bigot.

LOL and we do all put our foot in our mouth from time to time as Twain had said.

Iraqis Think The U.S. Is In Cahoots With The Islamic State, And It Is Hurting The War
Source: Washington Post

By Liz Sly December 1 at 8:24 PM

BAIJI, Iraq — On the front lines of the battle against the Islamic State, suspicion of the United States runs deep. Iraqi fighters say they have all seen the videos purportedly showing U.S. helicopters airdropping weapons to the militants, and many claim they have friends and relatives who have witnessed similar instances of collusion.

Ordinary people also have seen the videos, heard the stories and reached the same conclusion — one that might seem absurd to Americans but is widely believed among Iraqis — that the United States is supporting the Islamic State for a variety of pernicious reasons that have to do with asserting American control over Iraq, the wider Middle East and, perhaps, its oil.

“It is not in doubt,” said Mustafa Saadi, who says his friend saw U.S. helicopters delivering bottled water to Islamic State positions. He is a commander in one of the Shiite militias that last month helped push the militants out of the oil refinery near Baiji in northern Iraq alongside the Iraqi army.

The Islamic State is “almost finished,” he said. “They are weak. If only America would stop supporting them, we could defeat them in days.”

@BillRM,
Why is such an attitude stupid? If you were an Iraqi you're hardly going to think kindly of America. As far as most Sunni Arabs are concerned the conflict in Syria is about a minority Alawite ruler killing Sunni Arabs. IS is a minor detail, and if the US is funding IS it's so they've got an excuse not to fight the Alawites.

There's still a sizable part of the Sunni Arab population who believe Bush was behind 9/11 so he could invade Iraq.

@layman,
You've got no place calling anyone stupid. You don't understand a great deal. One of the things you don't understand is why so many in the Arab world find it so easy to think ill of America. That's why you make so many moronic statements. Instead of staring up your own arse try reading a book for once.
