OMG!!!! Muslims training in America! It’s the end of the Republic.
Nuke Baghdad!

[SolidWood]

LOL!

[SoldierMedic]

???? It was about Marines training before going to Iraq.

[do the dhue]

This really is realistic training!!!

So real, you thought it was Iraq.

[SolidWood]

Valin apparently thought this was about Iraqi officers being trained in the US. With his sarcastic comment he made fun of the nuke-’em-all crowd and some folks here who are anxious about training Iraqis.

So when we finally pull out(and we will) and they go back to being our enemy what will happen? Remember all those neat stingers and other equipment we gave our old buddies the Taliban?

How did you get the link? Apparently, the way I have been doing it is no longer valid.

And thanks!!

[do the dhue]

looks like you got it right from the address bar.

I always went into the properties.

[do the dhue]

looks like you may have to wait until the commercial is done play and then copy the address?

[do the dhue]

nope. You can just get it off the address bar. I have done this in the past and it didn’t work.

Oh well, that is easier then the way I did it in the past.

The link and subject confused me, too. I’ve been over here for about 18 mo. now and have been involved a bit in the various USG efforts to train Iraqis. While their flag officers tend to be crap, the LTs, captains, majors, street cops, line investigators are crazy brave. If the Persians want to come a’calling in a decade or two, they’d best think twice. But it is going to take that long to teach them one simple concept: logistics. Sheesh — give ‘em 3 vehicles and they assume 2 exist only to be cannibalized to keep the other one running. Would that we’d go with a Indian Army (under the Raj) model — long-term commitment US officers leading Iraqi soldiers . . . Empire-lite nonsense is killing us.

Factually incorrect on all points. The Taliban did not exist prior to 1992. They did not exist when the Sovs were in Afghanistan.

The Stingers you mention have a 7 year shelf life without factory refurbishment.They were useless after about 1997.

The US Will not be pulling out of Iraq. Contrary to the mythology spewed to you by the US Junk Media the country has not turned Democrat. 58 of the Democrat Congress seats are held in districts that voted 51% or more for Bush in 2004.

Those red state Democrats ran as Reagan clones who were going to "Clean up the corruption in DC". They did NOT run on "surrender Iraq now" They know this "surrender Iraq Now" dogma of the Leftist noise machine is political suicide in "fly over land".

Funny thing, NO Democrat ran on that platform in 2006. They all ran on "Culture of corruption" or stem cells, or "fixing Govt". But I know, don't bother you with any painful facts, you have your emotion based dogmas and you will cling desperately to them.

"Nuke Baghdad!"

There is a much simpler and less destructive solution which will likely make a lot of muslims question their sick faith.

All muslims believe that the meteor they worship is protected by allah.

Drop ONE small bomb on that f*cking meteor, and blow the thing back to hell where it belongs.

What would the muslims think if the undestroyable was destroyed?

Perhaps it would make them question their disease in worship of their non-existent god.

[elhombrelibre]

Yes, that’s true.

I was just throwing some thoughts out there. I’ve been wrong before and I don’t mind being corrected. Having said that I have to say you are one of the most smug, rude and offensive assholes it’s ever been my misfortune to come across.
