Oh this is priceless...

I'd take the Guardian with a grain of salt, but this is pretty funny. I love the idea of a crusty old marine kicking the hell out of the Pentagon's shiny new warplans.

Can you imagine if this were actually predictive? Anybody want to speculate on the political fallout if Bush presides over the worst naval debacle since Pearl Harbor? Priceless indeed; thanks for sharing it.

It seems like certain wargame planners play their Civ on Chieftain level. And still have to cheat.

[David Floyd]

I'm gonna laugh if the US loses.

[Adalbertus]

If the US really want to attack Iraq, put Van Riper in charge of the operation. He seems to know what is going on. Otherwise, I'm sorry for your guys...

[chequita guevara]

It's idiocy like this in the top brass that helped cause Vietnam to be such a fiasco. They were so sure that their military model was right, in spite of the evidence pouring in from the field.

[reds4ever]

kinda like "you have lost connection to the player named Bush", just after you've built Mikes Chapel in Civ2 MP?

So our wargames are like Quake. Our soldiers respawn after being fragged.

Being a friend to men and women who will likely be over there should the time come, I find this frightening, actually.



Let's hope they can correct this...

Hmmm... Maybe we should try taking Iraq by moving in South from Turkey instead....

[Giancarlo]

Iraq can't defeat the US... most of their army won't even fight and will give up like in the Gulf war... it will probably be left to the republican guard... which is pretty weak.

"You're dead. I shot you"
"You missed, and I shot you back"
"I didn't hear you"
*bang bang bang*
"That's cheating! you can't shoot back, you're dead!"
"You missed."
"Did not. I'm the masked avenger, I never miss!"
"yeah, well you didn't even load your gun"
"did so"
"did not"

That would require the cooperation of Turkey, which is rther reluctant to give it.

[David Floyd]

Maybe we shouldn't invade at all.

Althought that is my prefered option, I'm led to believe that isn't one of our choices.
