I knew we were in big trouble after Shock And Awe and the Iraqis kept fighting

[NNN0LHI]

I though holy jesus, drop that kind of ordinance all over the USA and chances are I would be ready for a rubber room. But Rumsfeld said it was just a few dead enders and that there was nothing to worry about. The freepers were saying isn't Rumsfeld dreamy? Bush was saying Mission Accomplished? But them damn Iraqis kept fighting on like whirling dervishes against the worlds only superpower. A few years later it appears they have won decisively. I remember before we invaded Iraq, Vietnam said this was going happen. I can remember posting the articles here.

1. Yep, amazing! We Americans would NEVER keep on fighting

if some nation invaded & occupied us! We're not terrorists. We'd have stayed calm & quiet & done everything we were ordered to do by the invaders. Well, cept we wouldn't be able to understand what they were ordering us to do. At first. But after a few neighbors, family members & friends were killed/raped/tortured, I'm sure we'd all grasp the basics of our invader's language.

After all, we are Americans. Yep, we'd learn real fast.

And we'd cheer and toss candy flowers at our occupiers! To ever suggest we Americans would shoot or blow up or attack in any way our invaders & occupiers...why that's just SICK and TREASONOUS!


*******

So how come so many Americans think Iraqis should do what no fucking way in hell we would ever do; lay down and grovel at the feet of their invaders & occupiers?

Oh right; Iraqis are "not quite human".

"Untermenschen".

Or, as the rightwingnuts prefer to call them; "vermin". Gee, wonder where that came from.

Rightwingnuts; Hitler was one. And they're ALL the stupidest MFers ever.

PS Hi Don! :hi: Sounds like yer as pissed off as I am. Sure hope this shit ends soon, preferably w bush & Cabal rotting in jail.

4. Very true.

And they should go hang in there...over there.

They'd wise up damn fast. If they stayed alive for a day or two.

It always works out this way.

5. Despite all propaganda to the contrary

We are fighting a war were the outcome means more to those we are fighting then it does to us.

7. I knew we were in trouble when bush was hell bent on war.

It didn't fit "terrorism" or imminent threat. In other words, I was not fooled in the beginning of that conflict.
