Now Iraqis Can Pay For Their Appletinis With Visa

It's everywhere you want to be. And, sometimes, places you don't necessarily want to be.

In a move indicating some degree of financial confidence and political stability, Visa just issued its first batch of credit cards to Iraqis -- 30,000 of them.

Not really a lot, when you think about it, and of course mainly issued to those who are quite wealthy and well-connected and can easily pay their debts, but...

It's a start.

Let's see... democracy, whiskey, sexy.

I think those credit cards will help facilitate the last entry on that check-list, if my experience is any guide.

And with their Visas...junk mail. Lots and lots of junk mail. Next come the personal injury lawyers. Then Starbucks.

Next come the personal injury lawyers. Then Starbucks.

Then comes "professional" wrestling, Mcdonalds and, dare I say it, Liberalism!

Yikes! No wonder they've resisted like they have!

Indeed.

Yet another blow to the "Islamic Theocracy" crowd since the Quran forbids paying or receiving interest.

Now we just need an arabic QVC. Just think of all the Drakkar we could sell them.

They'll know they've really arrived in the civilized world when they get bank machines.

30,000? I think those are just the junk credit card offers addressed to me that got misdelivered to Iraq.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.

This is the lady who gave her question to Biden beforehand, and he had it written verbatim in his notes with her picture.
