I was watching the 'war show' last night and I saw a piece on this one fortified camp that the US soldiers were having a hard time taking, until air strikes of course. It seems that the position was stocked full of all kinds of weapons. A veritable terrorist's wet dream. After the position was taken, they showed all the weapons from all over the world that were in this facility. It was amazing. US intelligence is thinking that was a weapons depot for incoming mercenaries and terrorists and possibly a terrorist training camp. They also had an interview with a US soldier. The embedded reporter was talking about all the non-Iraqi's they have been fighting and capturing. People from other Mid East countries, the Sudan, Egypt, Yemen, Asia, etc., who are all fighting our troops because, "they are here cause they just want to kill Americans!" that's the quote the US soldier said. All these 'mercenaries and terrorists' who were taken alive had passports and papers from all these other countires and when questioned, that was what they said..."they just wanted to kill americans." This quote from the US soldier last night just really stuck in my craw. People coming from other countries just for the chance to 'kill americans' - I realize we are not loved in MANY countries around the world and especially in the middle east, but it still stings when I hear these things. Damn this war, damn the Iraqi regime, damn the middle east, damn all you terrorists. Dammit it all to hell. and why the hell can't we totally take out Iraqi TV?
The more Darwin Awards nominees there are this year, the better the world and America would be. Most tyrants are peeing their pants right now watching Baghdad footage.
Where's the picture and the caption? Just kidding! http://edition.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/04/04/sprj.irq.marines.fedayeen/ Excerpt from the above article
We could win the hearts and minds of Iraq's finest with Duke Boy and Bay Watch reruns, Survivor, and daytime soaps!!!!!!
I am convinced that every once in awhile we have to just kick someone's arse to let them know we mean business. For whatever reason, people just think the US is about money and greed. Although that part is true and Im very happy to be a cog in the wheel, other countries continually try to flaunt their anti-Americanism in our face. Now, after a few weeks of fighting, the N. Korean rhetoric has died down, France has shut their pie hole, and Russia is trying to position themselves for post-war business. The idiotic Taliban thought we were all talk. The Iraqi regime challenged us and now theyre either running scared or have died. Also, as terrible as it has been to incur casualties, this military exercise was good training for our troops and should benefit them in the future. In conculsion, I say f*** them all.
