From the CNNapotheosis of Jerry Ford to the back room execution of Saddam Hussein to the fact that Sinjin and Holy Joe think a twenty percent increase in troops four years after we went in with one third of the troops we needed (according to people who thought there was a mission to accomplish): The combination of absurdity and stupidity and death is making me a little bit dizzy.

Powell Says U.S. Army `About Broken' Because of Iraq
Dec. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said the U.S. Army is ``about broken'' from the Iraq conflict and cast doubt on whether the military could or should boost the number of troops in the country.
``There really are no additional troops'' to send, Powell said on CBS's ``Face the Nation'' program. ``The current active Army is not large enough and the Marine Corps is not large enough for the kinds of missions they are being asked to perform.'' http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/ne...ajU0&

one of the reasons we took out Saddam, supposably (I'm using Bushspeak) is that our tuffness would skeer the Palestinians into surrendering ("a show of force clarifies things"). Now it appears that the only effect of Saddam's execution is to anger Palestinians further against "Americans and Jews". Great.

I just read the transcript of that Edwards interview. Good fucking grief. Edwards should have taken it to her as soon as she started Chimpwhoring. He just sat there and took it.
One correct answer to "Do you want to give up?" is "Do you want to hear what I have to say, or are you more interested in pushing Republican talking points?"
Another is "Hell, yes. It's become very clear that this administration cooked the intelligence to justify this war; that they never planned for even the most obvious contingencies; and that even at this late date, they can't give a convincing and consistent explanation of why we went in in the first place. The president wants to "choose victory" but can't define what "victory" is or give us anything other than his fantasies to suggest that we can achieve it. So if I am president I'm going to put my foot down and say that we can't justify losing any more lives or any more money on this adventure. You'd be taken more seriously if you weren't addicted to Republican smears about "giving up" and "cutting and running," but whatever you want to call it, we need to get out of Iraq and we need to start now."

rural folks from the thrid world are already hardened to much of the soldier's work...they do not evince our sophisticate scruples toward wanton violence; they are not averse to bloodshed, since they slaughter their own meat; and they are trained from birth to follow orders...

I'm listening to Louis Armstrong's Hot Five & Seven tracks. This is what he should be remembered for, not "What A Wonderful World". Draco - 1:18pm
Apologies in advance-- or, with all due respect to Draco, is it funny because it's true?

If only the U.S. Army had two old Jeeps w/ .50 cals mounted on then to spare....
you can get Range Rovers witrh mounts already installed. Ask the Kenya national parks Service if they are selling any.
They use 'em to hunt poachers.

It's one thing to have a collection of individuals with a 'killer instinct', and it's a totally different thing to have soldiers who can fight collectively effectively.
But I can't expect the ChimpCo brain trust to understand any of this, since none of them have experienced any of this themselves.

Ah, yes but if you watched Rat Patrol
you would know that dune-jumping Jeeps of WWII vintage are "Magic"
and can't be harmed....

the colombian para-militaries are ruthlessly efficient...
as have been all the private militias maintained by war lords all around the rest of the planet...
i'm sure that there are enough contras remaining in the nicaraguan estremadura, hondurasw, & salvador (e.g.) to recruit a tidy regiment...

Yes, we obviously need to recruit people from places with no respect for democracy and the Rule of Law
into our Armed Forces. Lots of them.
Chimpy may have another use for them later.

NTodd-- May I ask if you're sincerely a Xian? I'm impressed with such Xians around here like RMJ and Prior Aelred who maintain their faith despite constant faithlessness from my sort.
There is no good response to zero faith, such as mine. Plus my arm really hurts and I can't sleep
I expect no real answer, just saying I wish I had some religion, if only to sing better

President Discusses the Future of Iraq
THE PRESIDENT: Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm proud to be with the scholars, and the friends, and the supporters of the American Enterprise Institute.
...
At the American Enterprise Institute, some of the finest minds in our nation are at work on some of the greatest challenges to our nation. You do such good work that my administration has borrowed 20 such minds. http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/r...0030226-

25,000,00 Iraqis are busy earning a living and going about their lives...
Their hobbies are gardening, planting IEDs, and in their spare time, sniping. They are specially fond of arts and crafts, like drilling holes in their enemies heads and otherwise disfiguring their corpses.

Lieberman continued...
When not running amok, they reflect on plans for their next murderous rampage. Oftentimes their reveries are interrupted by the explosion of the odd depleted uranium shell or a bullet through the head.
