Start of Civil War? Attacks Across Iraq!

[Alexander's Horse]

It's just been reported here that British commanders have been critical of US forces for using force disproportionate to the threat they are facing and for having troops who take a simplistic view of the conflict and are incapable of separating friend from foe.

Sounds about right.

But the point is that he wouldn't let it get that way in the first place.

Fallujah has been intensely hostile from the outset. Gee, that's so surprising considering it's a bedroom community for all the Saddamite government types who worked in Baghdad. It's also surprising, since Saddam purposely set up areas of party loyalists on the approaches to Baghdad.

That's rich! Only one country has been stirring this up, when it engaged in this needless enterprise in the first place and then and then stirred the pot even more last week...

Yes, and the rest of the world would be happy to chow down on Saddam's schlong as long as there was some profit to be made from it, right?

I guess this bears out what I have been saying about the jackboot tactics of the US actually encouraging the rebellion - so, who's the idiot now huh?

Ah yes, a peace-loving resident gives an objective rendition of how a city of 300,000 Saddamite loyalist only had about 50 guerillas, and everyone else was happily strewing daisies about in the streets until the evil US raped and plundered and pillaged without provocation and drove the poor, peace loving Saddamites to desperation. Sorta reminds me of the old days, like that ******* before the first war who was set up to badger a reporter on TV, and when the Iraqi handlers got the reporter to ask the heckler for his name, the ******* replied "Uy em Saddam Hussein. We ur all Saddam Hussein."

As for your constant comparisons to that murderous thug Saddam, don't you think the tactics of the US forces bear a remarkable resemblance to his? I bet the Iraqi people do...

If we applied Saddam's tactics, Iraqi blood would be flowing all the way downriver and out the Arabian gulf past the straights of Hormuz.

Keep whining, though, you'll get it something right eventually. Hey, even a broken clock is right twice a day, so don't give up hope yet.

Of course. US commanders would certainly go on record making remarks like that to foreign reporters. Certainly they would. Does this story appear right next to the piece about how batboy moved to Australia? Or is it a couple of pages back from the batboy story?

Er yes, slight technical problem with that last post - should read British commanders were privately critical of US forces.

[MichaeltheGreat]

Wasn't ol' Monty a bit critical of Patton, too?

[Alexander's Horse]

Everyone was critical of Patton.

Oh, and by the way, here's some more "education" for you morons that think Sadr is "romantic."

He's setup vice squads to enforce morality. (Brutally, I might add). He is making women stay in their houses and wear veils.

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR???


For those who can't make the connection he IS A CARBON COPY OF THE ****ING TALIBAN.

Oh but he is so romantic!!!

[The Mad Monk]

Actually, he is a carbon copy of the Mullahs in Iran.

(that's who we're actually fighting, BTW)

[Alexander's Horse]

The thread title is wrong anyway - it's not civil war.

For some reason, this post makes me think of all those trailer-trash *****es on Springer talking about how they still love their mullet-sporting, Camaro-driving, woman-beating men even after they get put in the hospital for the tenth time with head injuries from an Old Milwaukee bottle...

I STILL LOVE HIM!!!

Making women stay in their houses during war is an appropriate measure. Having them wear veils during war will also go some way to prevent rapes.

Actually after the fall of the taliban when the women were 'liberated' the number of them dying from exploding mines have gone up, and stories of the new warlords raping women abound. In one incedent 30 women chose to drown themselves instead of being raped by the new warlord masters.

Looks like Tammy Lee Tripledoc has found yet another reason to take Bobbie Joe Taliban back...

Mines just don't go off mysteriously when the taliban go.. they were going off for years. But that only happened because refugees came back in overwhelming numbers. It has nothing to do with who is in control.

Oh and a photo of the Afghan National Army Troops who look pretty well armed, and dressed to me (they will take control of their country once they grow to a big enough number):

You mean like our steadfast friends and allies, the Saudis?
