RG was not so great, indicating no morale, much coercion, and poor US Intelligence maybe we knew of their depleted state and poor organization, and just wanted to use our military to cut them up to shreds each RG division was perhaps 10,000 to 15,000 several were decimated Generals spoke of A-10's and Huey's "softening them up" what does that mean to you, Einstein? or dont you bother to think with that ornament on your neck? do the math, or are you unable since "Lazarus dont do math" the math is simple, tens of 1000's killed like sheep since mid-1990's the US authorities have engaged in many lies it started with financial news, economic news, security news were you around during VietNam, or were you still dead as Lazarus ??? can you recall between 100 and 200 lies per week by Defense Secy McNamara, Secy State Dean Rusk, both JFK and LBJ ??? I do, like yesterday, since I was in highschool or does that go too far back for you ??? sorry, but this Administration launched into its anti-Iraq stance when the heat got turned up on Harken Energy and Halliburton corruption now, to state these facts is anti-American reminds me of Nazi tactics, DeadBoy certainly, Al Jazeera is tilted, reporting civilian deaths and casualties but we are also tilted, or are you hopelessly naive ??? why dont American TV networks discuss Iraqi war deaths and casualties ??? because there are none, right ??? wrong, because they are so high they tried it in 1991, reporting 190,000 deaths in the desert and the American public was outraged afterwards or have you forgotten that tidbit in your patriotic fervor ??? decades of technological advancement have certainly paid off too bad it was to defeat a poorly armed, ragtag army of forced conscripts who had no airforce, no radar, and no way to even prepare for INCOMING we boast of excellent Special Ops they were operating inside Baghdad all along why not have them expand such successful efforts? we never really tried a large-scale assisted coup only hired mercenaries from the Iraqi Natl Congress, who were all executed only hired Kurds from the north, who were all executed only hired Basran Shiites from the south, who were all executed I say "who were all executed" after USArmy retreated to sit back in their American homes, abandoned those we promised or did you miss that day in school ??? wait until the Axis in Europe competes openly with our USDollar this so-called Axis is otherwise known as NATO, idiot dont associate the word "Axis" with evil you sound incredibly gungho and incredibly stupid financially keep waving your flag, until the retaliatory strikes come perhaps it will come in your living room if we care about ending terrorism, why not go into Saudi Arabia, into the southwestern desert mountains, where BinLaden resides, and root out the dug-in Al Qaeda ??? you fell hookline & sinker for this absurd American play we routed the Taliban, or did we? now they occupy Pakistan with safe haven promised, while bands of bandits conduct hit & run raids all over Afghany we cannot find Al Qaeda, but have found some of their money AND WE LOOKED BAD NOT FINDING AL QAEDA SO WE WENT AFTER A DICTATOR WHO MANAGED OIL WE WENT AFTER THE ONLY THING THAT WASNT A "MOVING TARGET" AND WHO WAS PROTECTED BY A CRIPPLED ARMY walk proud, you killed a depleted 19th Century enemy you are an utter fool have you connected the dots yet? we went after a dictator who managed large oil when we have been feeling increasingly insecure about oil supply TELL THE STUPID AMERICANS WE ARE AFTER W.M.D. THEY WILL BUY THE ARGUMENT, BECAUSE THEY ARE...
