I've heard exactly the same sentences eleven years ago : fighting the Forth Army of the World in the Mother Of All Battles. But, as expected, it turned out to be the Grandmother of All Battles.
The only problem is that the US Grandfather wanted to stop it all after a hundred hours because the wording sounded good, historical, and he was probably convinced that the ball was running fast enough to get the Saddamites.
Wrong he was. You, the US are paying for it now. Clinton wasn't any better on those matters anyway. All that because the Americans were not ready to understand the depth of the coming crisis.
Then a year ago I was awashed by papers about the Soviets being Kicked out of Afghanistan, just like the Brits, etc.
And today I read your link "they (in Washington) are crazy, they can't even recognize one end of the gun for another, overextention, that's why empires decline and fall. All urged by a bunch of rabid intellectual"
Hey, Scott, those planners these article talk about did manage to win the Cold War, and they also know they don't need more outside help than what they already have.
So it's done. The dates depend on those Who Know,the moon, temperatures, UN, logistic, MD, miscellanous.
But the article is right when it mention that after Bagdad they are into Damascus. And Pyonyang.
Separate time, together... they'll play the best hand into the smallest possible detail.
Haven't you heard about their modus operandi during WWII ? Their level of organisation ? The undisputed fact that when they have no choice they find a Doolittle, and when they have choice, they run real pipelines deep inland just to feed the army needs behind ?
Together with what some would call indoctrination programmes. Oh, worry not too much, it's only about democracy, and possibly Coca Cola and not good TV series.
So yes there is a price tag.
But I'd better have a hamburger with ketchup( how weird, the ketchup!) in a democracy than a tournedos Rossini sauce de Beney de Brillat Savarin in a dictatorship.
Wouldn't you ?
And you are the only guys who can do it.
Not for me. For poor, starving, mentally enslaved guys.
And gals. PLease do not forget the gals. They are only young once!
You know where well enough.
So please do it.
In their name :
Thank You In Advance, America.
Signed (appocrphically)
Mohammad from Bagdad, Idriss from Damascus, Khidrimam from Teheran, Ali from Bali and GoBang from Pyonyang. |
