wow political correctness nothing. i know what happened on 9-11 was terrible and I am glad of the course of action we have taken in regards to that. but to believe that this moron hussien is involved is a bit far fetched. sure he is evil and fuxcked up I agree but lets get a real reson for blowing his ass up first. not this trumped up terrorist bullshit we have. if his people are so tired and disloyal then why do i see pix in american papers of the iraq people dancing on blown up american tanks????? why are hundreds of iraqi men RETURNING to the country to be killed or captured by american troops? saddam could never be in league with osama. he has killed thounds and thousands of musslim's and is a christain! they ALL are fucked up over there but why do we have to fix the worlds problems with our troops blood? I do not think we should be the police of the world. we should defend ourselves from true threats not get american soldiers killed over oil
We don't need a "real" reason to blow up Hussein. Besides, it's something that George H. Bush should have done back in 1991 during Operation: Desert Storm. Actually, we should have done it in 1988 when Hussein's regime was using chemical weapons on his own people. I'm getting tired of these terms of "legality," "morality," etc. You know who decides what's a war crime; what's legal; what's moral? Whoever wins the war. The victor writes history. The victor decides who the heroes are. Might has
always been the basis of Right.
Yes, there is going to be pockets of resistance in Iraq. Of course, if the people of Iraq were truly willing to fight, you'd be seeing many more shots of Iraqis dancing on our tanks and not the shots being made up by the propaganda ministry. But, the true and sad fact of the matter is that the number of causualties taken by coalition forces is only just over 100, several of whom were not killed by Iraq's soldiers (many crashed into each other in the air or were victims of "friendly fire." Even in foreign war, we're still our own worst enemy). Come on...Great White had a higher body count and they weren't even armed! (Maybe we can absolve Jack Russell and company of all charges if we send them over to Iraq. Yeah, it's a joke in poor taste, but we don't have time for this political correctness bullshit.)
Sure, Iraqis will be killed by our troops.
It's a war. If they're captured, they're held by our forces as prisoners of war so they can't kill anymore of our guys. It's all part of the game. We treat our prisoners of war as we would like to be treated in the same situation. We give them food, water, shelter and we'll also extract whatever information we can from them about troop movements, supply lines, ammuntion, etc.
We are not fixing this world's problems with
our troops blood. We are fixing this world's problems utilizing our military might as a tool to enforce our will. As General Patton once said, "This country never won it's wars by some poor bastard dying for his country. This country won it's wars by making
some other poor bastard die for his country!" We were made quite perfectly, totally, crystal-fucking-clear in Basic Training that as members of the United States Armed Forces we were expected to defend the national interests of this nation. Freedom? Sure, we defended your freedom. We also defended your American way of life, which included the business of these oil companies that have a lot of money invested in Iraq, Kuwait, etc. This is why we act as a "police force" around the world. We send a very clear message to the rest of the world that you
shall not attempt to interfere with our way of life or, as Sam Kinison once said, "You go hungry and then we kick your fucking ass!" Do you like the lifestyle to which you've become accustomed? Get used to the fact that our men, women and officers of the military have volunteered for a job for which they are grossly underpaid and you're not being drafted into a war you may not agree with in order to defend your lifestyle.
Also, that picture of the people holding up the sign that says, "We support our troops when they shoot their officers": Glad to see that these people want to see other Americans get killed. In case they missed it, many of our officers in the military are kept in the dark about what's going on until a few minutes before CNN starts broadcasting it on the news.
There'll be more, but I have to go to work.
