Everyone in government are the butchers of Iraq. Everyone should listen to Blowback

    I will never trust anyone who supported that butchery. Never. Truth will out, and besides, they just keep proving why that decision was correct not to trust them. All the people I know who opposed it from the start, both in my personal life and in politics, have been reliable and steadfast ever since then. You can fucking set your watch by this. If you ever need a purity test, I can think of none better.

    I finished this podcast just the other day, i highly recommend it.

    The last episode is just awful to listen to. 600,000 dead, no one was held accountable and everyone acts like nothing even happened.

    Also i cant remember which episode, but someone made a great point which has stuck with me. When talking about American imperialism, people use language like The US 'stumbled' into Iraq or something like that, as if it wasn't totally calculated and done for a specific purpose. It's so easy for people to dismiss as a mistake and carry on pretending the US war machine spreads freedom.

      It's honestly worse than this. Everyone acts like it's terrible, but refuses to actually try to stop it from continuing.

      I was taking a run and had to turn it off because I was about to cry during Episode 4

    It's an amazing podcast. The part about Falluhja made me cry and angry like few things before. It's such a great project and I hope both continue to work on similar things. Podcast aren't an amazing tool of radicalisation, but if someone is willing to listen, Blowback just might do it.

    It was so frustrating to listen to how those ghouls just fucked everything up. Just monstrous shit. I’m disappointed in how little I knew about it at the time, and belatedly furious about it now.

    I actually can't listen to it because it makes me to angry. Not a single one of those fucks will ever get even a tiny bit of what they deserve.

    There were many points in that series that just made me so mad. The words had left me, the cartoonish ghoulishness of the people responsible was fucking astounding.
