Perry: Put Troops Back In Iraq

[robhex]

No wonder Perry is gone from the GOP race for prez. Biggest goofball that ever tried to run for prez. I wonder what Texas wants to do with their embarassment.

[weejockpoopongmcplop]

Not sure why Rick Perry is so worried about Iran when by his own admission the Iranians are particles with zero mass.

[whatsgoingon07]

send Perry to Iraq

[coltsrule5150]

here we are on 2/1/2012 and iraq is doing just fine

[happypedro12]

i thought this guy dropped out of the race?

[ListWritingMachine]

@happypedro12 This video came out last month.

[Killur10]

So you just LOVE (or hate, depends on the issue) states' rights, but state SOVEREIGNTY, oh that's a different story, obviously to compensate for Rick Perry's tiny dick America should be up everyone else's arse. Fuck off Perry.

[lenahc1987]

Rick Perry apparently did not receive the "MEMO", the majority of Americans wanted our troops outa Iraq as much as the Iraqis wanted our troops outa their country. Perry once again demonstrates he is a tin foil hatter........let's do Texas a huge favor and parachute Perry into the middle of the Iraqi continuing religious war! Lastly what can you expect from a cargo flyboy who NEVER served a day in combat duty...there is a difference, trust me!

[blackstars56]

LMFAO Cenk, you are hilarious. I can see how these Republicans can roil you up real good.

[MajorBookworm100]

Perry should be given a high five...

in the face...

with a chair.

[gjgkhgjfhgjklhklhglj]

Factmonster says: derpppp everyone seems to forget mr. bush signed the order for dis

[mrnolan91]

It's one of the few moments where Erin Burnett makes sense 00:58

[Domzdream]

Rick Perry is like Mike Myer's character, Doctor Evil- '1 billion bedjillion dollars, muahahaha'.

[tvsinesperanto]

HAHAHAHAHA! LOLMAO @ "Literally at the speed of light."

[AbonZel3]

David Pakman, in my opinion, put it quite well when he said Perry is working on a gamblers mentality. I've already lost the paycheck, I need to use the mortgage so I can break even. The problem is, he's thinking that all wars are like World War 2, where they will boost the economy. He doesn't understand it doesn't happen normally, and only worked then because of a total war economy and massive government spending.

[stuartjamesgemmell]

Rick Perry "Or it will all be for nothing...."

Yeah dickhead it was! That's the problem!

[PropellerBusted]

This guy is a moron. Perry has no conception of the sunk cost fallac. Even if he was right there's such a thing as cutting your losse.

[KBeOKEH]

Can he say that "freely" if both his kids were in the military? I don't think so.

[Stingerbillion]

Yes, let's vote for Republicans for more wars and possibly sending troops back to Iraq. LEAVE IRAQI PEOPLE ALONE! They need to deal with their mess however they want. It's none of our business.

[trycoun]

PERRY !!! - In contrast to your complete lack of education - the persians haven't attacked a country since 200 years,

but there is a country which in the last 100 years - because it dumbed down it's people into nationalism and paranoia - was able to bomb countless countries, overthrew more than 50 governments, crush liberation movements, install dictators, kill way over 8 million people and destroy cultural heritage of the last 4000 years.

guess who. africa? antarctica? america? C'mon Perry...

[WolfsStorm]

I know there are smart people in Texas so how in the hell is it only theidiot who get elected?

[TheJrv2damac]

Who the fuck is responsible for the highly inaccurate captions?

[darthbriboy]

0:53 it was for nothing anyway you douche

[Numbuh7]

I'm sorry but am I missing something here? I was under the impression that Iran hasn't invaded another country for 300 years. And if they do invade Iraq, I don't blame them. Iraq has invaded them.

[TheManMostMysterious]

"All of the work we've done"? Does he mean getting our own soldiers killed over a threat that didn't exist, only to make Iraqis hate us more? There's a reason why the Iraqis celebrated and burned American flags when we withdrew. I support the military 100%. This means, that I will never support any policy that forces our soldiers to go into hostile territory, only to put their lives on the line needlessly. We never needed to be in Iraq, there is no need to go back.

[yourbesteyes]

The reason to keep US troops in Iraq:

2003: Saddam's nationalists.

2004: sunni islamists.

2012: shia islamists.

2014: the Kurds (for some reason).

2020: angry camels.

And so on...

[erdal0]

every turk should see this

[1123359]

Eventually rick Perry would be a war criminal

[PicopicoEMD]

0:44 I can hear Ted saying "FIGURATIVELY!!!"

[JJJJJESUS]

Why doesn't George Bush and Rick Perry suit up and go fight in IRAQ... They are one of the few that want to 'civilize' them. Too bad America needs the attention right now.

[santaman2346]

I do believe he is mispronouncing Iraq, or is that the American pronunciation?

[awreslr2]

That man, Perry, doesn't have a clue!!!

[RedPanther59]

Every young MAN who has lost his life?

[lenahc1987]

Rick Perry, the cargo flyboy while in the military, should take all Republican warmongers to Iraq...talk to the Sunni's and Shiites, solve their religious war, after convincing the Iraqi Prime Minister and Iraqi citizens they would welcome them with open arms. Perry is a dimwit and incapable of being the free world's leader. I am a Texas Republican and I approve this message. Oh, before Rick leaves on his Iraq mission, could he please reimburse Texas the cost of his taxpayer paid security team?

[Manuellaborer]

iRaq? WTF, another Apple fanboi from Texas, who happens to electrecutes people to relieve stress?

[SSTTEEAALLTTHH]

So, what's next? Going back to Vietnam?

[1Pr0digy]

"liberal leftist" - ... stupid ^^

[GrandeSizeIt]

cummon cenk... we're all mature adults here just say dumbass not goofball

[FuhrerVonFreiberg]

Send Rick Perry to Iraq in handcuffs, wearing a shirt with a picture of muhommad with a bomb in his turban

[DemonWithAHumanHeart]

Stick a fork in him, Rick Perry is done.

[jayp1104]

Ok well if he wants our soldiers our family to go back then I want his Ass in a uniform and on a plane with them!!!! Period!!! Any Dick head who would willingly send thousands of troops back after loosing thousands who have family members have children have wives, any Dick head who can say that needs to put one of those uniforms on grab a gun and he needs to be the first on the plane!!!!!

[RottingCorpse100]

TOP 10 Reasons why Perry should stay in the race:

10)....uhhhh I got nothing

[diamondsoran]

perry is funny, but a douche.

[ZakTheThrash]

literally the speed of light.

[Terraformer404]

I agree with Rick Perry and with what he said

V

I dont like TYT..

[nihilistsneedhugstoo]

I agree with Rick Perry, but I think we should move the troops back in strategically, with a small group of crack elite forces first. They should be headed by Perry, of course, and the size of the troops he commands should, not coincidentally, match the number of members in Congress. They should be parachuted in. Preferably over Baghdad. At noon.

[artz139]

@nihilistsneedhugstoo you got my vote for secretary of defense!!!

[boredgeek]

@nihilistsneedhugstoo At first I was like "WTF?!?" and then I was like "Ohhhhh" and then was like "FTW!" while reading your comment :D

[guitarfuckist]

@nihilistsneedhugstoo I hope that you are aware that Perry is a moron.

[MajorBookworm100]

@nihilistsneedhugstoo With special targeting systems so none of the weapons aimed at them will miss.

[Loltochapel]

Like if you believe America desperately needs an an anti-neoconservative and anti-corporatist movement! Hey libertarians you would like this too because corporatism is not compatible with true capitalism.

[artz139]

@Loltochapel corporatism is capitalism's sociopathic, predatory enemy and the former swallows up the latter.your absolutely right.capitalism is about broad markets and broad prosperity in a competitive market and corporatism is controlled markets ,dwindling prosperity and and elimination of competition in markets.big companies buy the little until they own them all .and it's happening right now.

[SkullOfYorick]

@Loltochapel The movement is called the Ron Paul presidential campaign.

[antonio3p1]

@Loltochapel Of course I think everybody agrees with that!

[LeLimeLine]

@Loltochapel Fuck yes to that. Progressive Civil Libertarianism!

[ethanj454]

If by goofball you mean complete dumb@ss, then yes I agree.

[jackwdc]

We should round up neocons Rick Perry, John McCain, and Joe Lieberman, buy them AK-47s, and ship them off to Iraq. Time for the war whores to put their money where their mouths are.

[l3urns1]

how could he say that? oh yeah, republicans are so fucking stupid that facts are no concern. tone and cadence are all you need to discern truth. no need for fact checking, that would take time and effort

[LtShock]

"Iran is going to move back in, literally at the speed of light". No, dumbass! Not literally. That's 3*10^8 m/s. I don't think tanks and helicopters travel that fast.

[LtShock]

@LtShock Shit. I commented before the end of the video and didn't realize Cenk said that too. xD

[cryptision]

Most of these Republican and democrat candidates make me sick. The United States government has lost all touch with reality.

[josh70812]

Where is the troops is they home or still & Iraq

[khetti2006]

Yeah, this is definitely retarded.

[treismac]

Perry is literally the dumbest man on the face of the earth.

[thetechgeneration]

let's invade ourselves, win hearts and minds of the people by building roads, bridges, providing clean water, food, and jobs.

[don222able]

But why Rick? For what, why go back? If you don't have a reason why then I think that maybe you should not be running for President.

[s0l1dsnake]

A little history for Rick Perry if he wants to know when Iraq started getting Iranian influence, the moment we invaded Iraq. Saddam Hussein was not friendly towards Iran. In fact the Iran-Iraq war never officially ended. It was OUR fault Iran had any influence at all in Iraq and now we need to stay longer and prevent it. Rick Perry is a fucking moron and anyone who says Obama is soft on national defense is fucking moron also.

[JokeHeros]

Send Perry's family members who are serving in the military back to Iraq.... oh wait

[TheZoostudio13]

I don't think he knows what the word literally means.

[xxESPx]

If the Republicans get into office we can all expect a war with Iran.  They're already trying to set the stage.

[KrishnasLittleHelper]

lol troops back in iraq.

[MOLDACIOUS]

I cant believe that these candidates are supported by Americans. Like are they really the best you could find in your entire country??? Can't Republicans find anyone who isn't a complete fool? Newt can hold his own obviously but he is so corrupt he will be demolished by Obama's campaign team come election time. Many people look to discredit Ron Paul and I'm sure he has his flaws (everyone does) but I still cant get past the fact that every time he speaks in debates he makes sense.

[oexnorth]

war war war money money money war is money

[snowboarder1019]

Americans (or worldwide) do you guys know who Harper is?

[Hperman09]

@snowboarder1019 I hear Harper was a Neo-Con Canadian leader, how many times he was elected?

[artz139]

@snowboarder1019 yeah,he works for the same corporations as the american president doesn't he?

[snowboarder1019]

What do you guys think Cenk would be a Liberal or NDP?

[CaLLmEGsus]

SilentySearching's comment is being taken the wrong way. He meant that from the actions of your leaders (or soon to be, etc.), that we Canadians end up assuming all Americans are retarded. Isn't fair of course, and I of course know many intelligent Americans (Seattle is like 2 hours away from me, the IQ cant really drop in that short of a distance)

[juarezezez]

Using Perry's logic and information, even if we wanted to stop Iran we could not, thier troops can move at light-speed, we have nothing in our arsenal to defeat that.

[josh70812]

Where is da troops at

[Caesar1255]

In 1980 Iraq under Saddam Hussein invaded Iran because Iran was undergoing a revolution and they wanted more land/oil. During this almost 8 year war the U.S. supported Iraq while preventing the UN from intervening when Iraq started using Chemical weapons.

[eagles980]

@Caesar1255 History has a weird way of making arguments completely invalid, huh? 

[clizzaster]

I hate when people use the word "literally" for emphasis.

[JJPHILLYLG]

@clizzaster They are literally going to move in at the speed of light. Damn now that's how you haul ass. lol!

[SDub817]

Rick Perry: He's Bush without the brains- sincerely, politico.

[underbjorn]

"Move back in"

.

Why does this ill-informed jackass think Iraq was ruled by Iran before.

When was this, Biblical Mesopotamia?

[blackgold161]

Lets send these fake asses to war and then let them become president.

[Ulrna]

republican populism is retarding politics and public consensus at the speed of light!

[Ulrna]

Why would Iranians go into Iraq..? Where they in Iraq before or something..?

..!? What the hell is going on here?

[Ulrna]

Iran, back into Iraq..? What the..!?

What the hell is going on?

[62netty]

Please don't let that idiot become secretary of defense. He's either crazy, or doesn't know recent history, or he's lying. The last time the Iranians (Persians) invaded Iraq (Babylon) was in the 6th century BC, when the Babylonian Exile of the Jews ended.This story is found in the Old Testament. It has nothing to do with modern politics; Christianity, Islam, the Us, Israel, Iraq, Al-Qaida and crude oil were all unknown in those days. Pretending otherwise is a dangerous redifining of history.

[Moneymyke357]

186,000 miles per second...They must have on Nikes.

[iRiggers]

@Moneymyke357 Ive got some some Bad Arse Nikes from China..

..and some Levis too

[theonlygus]

Literally the speed of light? Idiot

[dizzymasekela]

I'm not sure Texans want Perry back in Texas.

[DaytonaRoadster]

@dizzymasekela nope, but then again, they hate gay people

[widebody123]

The only candidate that is remotely tolerable to listen to is Ron Paul, and that's scary because he is batshit crazy.

[webnovice2012]

I guess Perry forgot that the initial withdrawal date from Iraq was actually put in by George Bush - a Republican President.

[willia3r]

Good lord I really hate these neo-conservative dick-suckers...This George Bush-imitation is seriously talking this garbage?

The U.S.A. is slowly becoming the next Roman empire, doomed to fall aprt from within...

[Science1314]

thats about 186000 miles per second

[iRiggers]

@Science1314 youre going twice the speed of light there fellah. slow down son, just slowww downn

[Vegetarianninjafreak]

I literally hate it when people misuse the word literally.

[peacewavenow]

"every young man that has lost his life in that country would have been for nothing"

Hey Rick......just how many WMD's did we find in Iraq?.....ZERO WMD's ??.... So then Rick, wouldn't that mean that all the lives lost in Iraq were indeed lost for.......nothing???

[SilentlySearching]

As a canadian i view you guys as complete retards.

[Kariakas]

@SilentlySearching With Harper in charge of Canada, it's just one step behind the US. If he'd had the majority back then Canada would have been in Iraq also.

[Blindeyeseesfar]

@Kariakas Harper did win the majority in the last elections...

[felixu95]

@Kariakas Who the hell is Harper?

lol jks

[iluvwater66]

@Kariakas yeah no kidding Harper would follow the Americans off a cliff if he had to.

[TOTCD]

@SilentlySearching And we hate retards like you.

Acting like Rick Perry speaks for all of us.

Go screw yourself.

[izaiahisback]

@SilentlySearching as do americans with canadians >:3

[AcresofAnarchy]

@SilentlySearching Well that's constructive isn't it.

[kubush]

@SilentlySearching You're a Canadian, who cares what you think.

[iRiggers]

@SilentlySearching What part of Canada do you come from, the part where they sound funny?

[pogly100]

@SilentlySearching Comment of the week lol ;o)

@pogly100 8===D

[ArseneIncubus3]

@SilentlySearching I'm packing my bads and moving up north, see soon neighbor

[TheCreeperhunter]

@SilentlySearching *tries to think how to convince Silently we're not all dumb* Oh man I just can't... None of the smart people are known at all in this country... Fuck I'm starting to wonder if we've all gone brain dead.

[dadreamzworld]

@SilentlySearching So are you if you think its ok to send troops back to Iraq, if you agree gang up all your family friends and ppl who are like minded like you and go back and make sure everything is ok.

[Desi9]

@SilentlySearching I sometimes take for granted being in Canada then i see this shit and  I am proud as fuck to be a canadian

[Loltochapel]

@SilentlySearching Ha you Retards gave that neo-con Harper a 3rd term and a majority. At least the Quebeckers got lots of seats for the NDP, unlike the retarded Anglos gave the Tories a majority!

[CheezFilling]

@SilentlySearching Teach us your ways O' Mighty Maple State. Seriously, we need help when people like this are allowed to run.

[xxAeolusxxx]

@SilentlySearching As an American, I view you as a completely ignorant fool who can only generalize, rather then coming to the logical conclusion that not every United States citizen shares the same views as Rick Perry.

[hblakely992]

@SilentlySearching It isn't all of us, but I SOOO see your point.

[ThePro777Gamer555]

Speed of light, ey? seems legit

[AngryRaptor]

Rick Perry, put up or shut up. Get out of that penguin suit and hop on the next available flight to Iraq yourself. I think those troops have done enough and it's long since time they reunited with their families.

Seriously, Fuck you Rick Perry. Seriously Fuck You.

[GalaticTG]

WTF does iran have to do with iraq

[nvsyru]

I think the late George Carlin best described the ones who like to beat the drums of war during his performance in New York, 1992 - watch?v=sDkhzHQO7jY

[doctender77]

The only reason Ron Paul has any shot in this primary is his stance on or foreign wars. The vast majority of us want the wars to end now, Afghanistan too.

[motombocolombo]

who is rick perry?

[Dopelives]

LITERALLY THE SPEED OF LIGHT

LITERALLY!

[Cuddlebunzzzz]

"all those young men will have died for nothing"

translaition:

"i haven't made enough money from my donors in the military industrial complex"

[gregwi562]

What's really funny about this imbecilic speech are the obvious pauses Perry makes where he was expecting applause. The only thing I can sense is the crowd think a collective "WTF!"

Fact check for the Rick Perry speech writers : the date for withdrawal was set under Rick Perry's predecessor and fellow idiot George W Bush. But then again, what use have they for facts?

[cne08]

Put Perry in Iraq.

[Chopchopchop]

Vermin Supreme 2012, Pony based economy and an end to the dental conspiracy.

[amad0c]

Cenk: "you see, the speed of light is pretty fast" lol :D

[Gypsyjiver]

Easy for him to say because he is not the one who is putting his life on the line. No wonder Ron Paul has such great support by enlisted folks.

[BradODonnell]

Rick Perry invoked the sunk cost theory. Look it up, Rick.

[Floydthefuckbag]

Rick Perry is the kind of guy who says "literally" when he means "figuratively". Nuff said.

[DrEvilmonki]

Im sorry did I miss something? Did the US go into Iraq to liberate it from Iran? Im pretty sure that didnt happen.

[davidfgranger]

Literally the speed of light? Blimey.

[dobbsiancant]

iran doesn't have to go into iraq.they are already on friendly terms now that the shiites are in control.thanks to the last posse of neo con intellectual midgets that were in control of us foreign policy.

[donatshabani]

If someone said that to my face I would bitch slap that shit out of him

[commandolam]

If the Iranians have the technology to travel at the speed of light, Iraq is the least of our worries.

[yuukisama2001]

Not to mention Iraq wanted us out. Because that's what happens when you occupy a country. Any one care to share info about Iran and Iraq take over from years ago.

[TheUSMetalhead]

And just when you think he said the most stupid thing ever, he does it again. Perry is a true imbecile.

[sirtristan01]

0:40 LITERALLY the speed of light

hmm no.

[Solarfactor]

Deploy the Grinch and Perry with M4s. They love war so much, let them fight it.

[Max50ww]

Rick Perry is NOT an intellectual giant!

[upabittoolate]

@Max50ww He's not even an intellectual midget.

[Max50ww]

@upabittoolate Don't you find it utterly incredible that someone like RP can get this far in the political arena. Doesn't intelligence count anymore? Fortunately I don't think he is going to get much farther politically-- but it is still SCARY!

[upabittoolate]

@Max50ww I was thinking the same thing about Junior a few years ago. But he was the prez twice. Here's hoping we stick with the lesser of the evils & we re-elect Obeezy.

[SSTTEEAALLTTHH]

If you love war so much, go fight it yourself!

[SSTTEEAALLTTHH]

If these assholes love war so much, let them go. Go ahead, give all of of these warmongering neocons and their dumb ilk an M16 and ship them of to Iraq. Simple.

[GnosticAtheist]

Yes, finally someone has the ... balls... to say it out loud. Send them back! :D

[mestizolove]

Crazier than a bible screaming christian, how the fuck does this guy hold any chair??
