Originally posted by Blue We don't have that much of an offense anymore. That was one of the glaring weakness that showed during Iraq. We have had to rely to much on our Nat. Guard and Reserve units. If you are using your reserve units on the offensive, where is your reserve?
The other glaring weakness that showed during Iraq was the thought process that went into staring it.
You guys just don't get it.
9/11 came about because Amerika insists on sticking it's nose where it doesn't belong. You do it often enough and long enough and someone will bloody it for you.
The Iraqi war came about because President Shrub needed to do something to make it look like he was doing something about very little, so he decided to take it out on Hussein, to try to finish off what daddy Shrub had managed to screw up.
Shrub lied to the world, and to the American people. Lied through his teeth.
He and his people made it up.
There were no WMDs until Amerika started bombing, there was no yellowcake, nothing radioactive until Amerika started using radioactive munitions to blow up Iraqis, and no links to Al Quaida.
Shrub didn't go after Al Quaida because he knew he couldn't win that one. The Russians spent a decade ruining their economy in Afghanistan, and Shrub knew he would fail there just like the Russians failed, so he went after an easier target.
Too bad he failed there too, though it wasn't through lack of weaponry, it was through butf##k stupidity.
Bush is big oil, Cheney is big weaponry, Iraq has oil and it had a leader who like to thumb his nose at the oval office.
The real Axis of Evil was Bush, Cheney and their trained goats.
The question now is who is going to rebuild Iraq now that the Amerikan military has flattened it in an illegal war of aggression.
Will Amerika do the right thing and pay reparations?
