LOL.
I can envision Sam K. raw antics but I can't imagine what George Carlin would be saying today.
According to journalist Dexter Filkins, the force's members are "divided between combatants and those who train and oversee foreign assets," and the force is divided into branches focusing on "intelligence, finance, politics, sabotage, and special operations." Members are chosen both for their skill and "allegiance to the doctrine of the Islamic Revolution."[7]
In April 2019, the U.S. made the decision to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a foreign military, as a foreign terrorist organization by the State Department under an immigration statute and their maximum pressure campaign.[103] This designation was done over the opposition of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Department of Defense (DoD).[104][105][106]
Financing
Companies controlled by the Quds Force maintain banking relationships with the Bank of Kunlun, a subsidiary of the China National Petroleum Corporation.[38]

At least 56 people killed in a panic at the funeral for the Iranian general.
This is being repeated a lot by Middle East journalists: “Tehran told Washington DC through proxies that it will bomb US bases in Iraq to save face and claim it is a response for killing Soleimani. That’s why the USA emptied its bases hours before the attacks. Zero casualties.”
According to my #Pentagon sources, No #US or #Iraqi servicemen are killed in Ain al-Asad due to #IRGC|ASF Operation #Soleimani. None of 6 Qiam-1s launched from #Tabriz at #Erbil have hit their targets! 5 missed targets & one of them was shot-down by #USArmy's C-RAM!

I went to what was left of the Iraq National Museum in Baghdad in the mid-2000s and everything was gone...
Some of the Sumerian sites like the digs at Eridu and Uruk in southern Iraq were trashed and being used as bathrooms.
