WAY TO GO TEAM!......
The news from Iraq goes from bad to worse. It’s considered a “winning day” when there are only 2 suicide bombings instead of the usual 5. Way to go, team!
House Republicans and Democrats blasted Marine Corps Generals for continuing equipment shortages, contending that vehicles in Iraq have not been outfitted with enhanced blast protection even though the additional armor has been sitting in a warehouse in Kuwait for two months. I guess the Generals thought they couldn’t make that kind of decision without be awarded another star. Here’s an idea, let make all the Pentagon brass ride through Baghdad in one of those poorly armored vehicles waiting to get their balls blown off. The problem would be solved immediately.
How long does it take the Pentagon to learn how to manage its supply chain? Isn’t two years enough? Those bozos couldn’t get a job as a greeter in Wal-Mart. “Too many soldiers have died in Iraq because they didn’t have the armor they needed”, screamed one congressman. Perhaps all our troops should put down their arms and refuse any more operations until the brass learns how to run the war. Didn’t George W. and Don Rumsfeld promise that the equipment shortage was corrected…six months ago? Way to go, team!
Ready for some more good news? It was reported that the pilot of a U.S. Air Force U-2 spy plane was killed in a crash while returning to a base in the United Arab Emirates. A U-2 SPY PLANE?????????? That’s right, pilgrim. The U.S. is still using the U-2 which was shot down over Russia in 1960. A forty-five year old airplane is still being used to win the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Question: would you step aboard a 45-year old plane? So, while GIs are being killed because the latest in armor isn’t being sent to them, a plane older than Paris Hilton and her mother is still in use. The Bush Pentagon couldn’t win a war against that little principality in The Mouse That Roared.
The military is refusing to say where the U-2 went down. They probably don’t know. Apparently, the plane went down in a country whose government is friendly to the United States. That narrows the search considerably. Can’t be Europe, most of the Middle-East, South America, Canada, Mexico, Greenland and points west, east, south or north.
Isn’t it time that Washington realized we are in an un-winnable war in Iraq and Afghanistan? Opinion polls prove that less and less Americans support the war and think Iraq should be left to the Iraqis. Democracy has as much chance of working there as Mike Tyson does winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
Moral is down. Military recruitment is at an all time low. Donald Trump fired more people this season than volunteered in recent months. Let’s cut our loses and find a better class of people to invade.
