| 13. Operation Iraqi Freedom continues! |
|
Don't you all remember that we went into Iraq to defend its border from Turkish incursions? Remember how Dubya went on national teevee and warned the Turks to quit threatening Iraq or there's be heck to pay? Heck, I tell ya!
And now, mission accomplished, as our fearless, freckle-faced, star-spangled men and women in uniform take on the Godless hordes of Turkey, liberating our great and good friends the Kurds from their terroristic designs!
God bless America.
