Right wing is confounded by "Iraq is our ally" label

[Goathead]

When General Myers says "Samarra is a city where Iraqis are taking charge to throw out anti-Iraqi forces," who exactly is he referring too?
When the U.S. stormed Baghdad the U.S. Army was the anti-Iraqi force. Then the Pentagon did this little Orwellian switch and the post-Saddam Iraqi's became our allies, then some Iraqis started to become mad with us and they became anti-Iraqis.
Right-wing freeper types believe that every Iraqi over there is our enemy and should be blown away. The Bush administration would have you believe that we are allied with our "puppet" Iraqi government which we installed, they are grasping at straws to have the American people and the rest of the world believe there is actually a separate "Iraqi" entity that has some modicum of control over there.
Things are turning into "Vietnam" in Iraq at a very fast rate. Same thing happened there, the enemy became unidentifiable and merely blended in.
You never hear the media refer to the insurgency by name. Who is the enemy? Well, they have a lot of names, here they are:

Active Religious Seminary
Al-Faruq Brigades
Al-Mahdi Army
Al-Sadr's Group
Ansar al-Islam
Armed Vanguards of Mohammad's Second Army

They all have names and are a lot more organized and motivated than the Pentagon would have you believe. The Pentagon and the right-wing media dismisses these groups by merely calling them "insurgents" and lumping them into one big pile. How the hell are we supposed to win a war where we can't even identify who the enemy is and our leaders use spin and lies to deceive the American public into believing their version of the truth? This war is lost and it is because of reasons like this, no clear objective, no clear enemy.

1. Well, you can't say the RWers weren't warned.

Serves 'em right for not learning from Vietnam.

:nuke:

2. They never learned b/c most of them never had to sacrifice.

They have no concept of the damage they are doing.

3. Yep, few, if any, served in uniform, much less in Vietnam.

Buncha chickenhawk candy-ass pansies.

:puke:

4. Same goes for the entire "War on Terra".

"This war is lost and it is because of reasons like this, no clear objective, no clear enemy."

It'll take the moronic right at least another decade to get their itty-bitty minds wrapped around that thought, though. :grr:
