Still Smoking Crack About Iraq

"If we withdraw before the job is done, the enemy will follow us here.''

-- Attributed to General John Abizaid of U.S. Central Command, which encompasses the theaters of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan

How will they get here, General? That's a long way to swim.

If Abizaid really said that, or worse yet, if he really thinks it, it's little wonder we're losing two wars in his area of responsibility. That kind of talking and thinking comes from somewhere below the waist.



Commentary :: ::

"They" don't have an air force or a navy that can bring them here. Nobody else does either. There is, in fact, no state or non-state entity that can bring significant conventional military force to bear on the continental United States.

Moreover, if "they" did have an air force and a navy and tried to use it to invade us, they'd be doing us a favor. Our Navy and Air Force could sink them and shoot them down before they got halfway across the ocean.

And if we take this ludicrous scenario just a bit further, it would actually make sense to "withdraw" and sucker them into trying to invade us. We could mop them up in the course of fine Navy day.

1. To add to that; while the MFing rightwingnuts may be stupid enough

to think anyone would think "gee I hate America, so I'm gonna go to Iraq/Afghanistan and take on the greatest most advance-tech military in history. With my stick of dynomite. Instead of going to America itself which sits unprotected & wide open. Coz I'd much rather face the world's mightiest military than sitting-duck American civilians."


Unfortunately, most people are NOT quite that stupid, including former, current and future terrorists.

How the fuck did so many Americans get to be so damn stupid, anyways??! :eyes:

2. They fell for the "Winnebago's Of Death" story too

Sad state of affairs.

3. Worse (as in how fucking EMBARRASSING!) they fell for that

unbelievably stupid, ridiculous WOOD-CHOPPER story! I bet most freeping rightwingnuts STILL believe that one!

No wonder America is rated as #1 place by CONMEN.
