I'm always at work when the first showing of Glenn Beck airs.
Lately I've been staying up and watching the 1am repeat.
Today he talked about how financial terrorists could have caused the collapse of 08.
He's also talking about middle eastern countries falling.
He showed a map and asked the question.. if all the countries fall around Iraq.. how will our troops even get out of that country???
He then urged everyone to stock up on food.. and said while America waits for Charlie Sheens next tweet.. Americas enemies are planning our downfall..
Not to mention that it will require overflight of hostile territory if it comes to that.
And of course a POTUS that puts Islamic feelings before our military.
Yeah, we proved that in Somalia (/s)
1 RPG nailing a passenger plane taking off would shut down that runway, no?
bttt
Fine. If you all want to buy into the notion that our guys can be prevented from leaving Iraq if they want, go for it.
Not for long.
The bastidges actually tried that a couple of times back in the bad old days of '04 and '05. Their aim sucks, so they didn't get anybody, but they tried.
Not only RPGs, but they used to love to aim mortars and rockets at both airports - military and commercial. All it did was stall things for about 45 minutes.
The runways were never closed for long after these incidents.
And remember...their aim sucks.
Hmmm...
Been looking for a tagline...
I should have researched the latest #’s. Even still, getting 56,000 troops out "easily" will take a great deal of effort. You must have never been in the Military before. That's all I can say about your gross lack of understanding. It would take over 2 weeks of intense Logistical effort to get that many out "quickly".
LOL - I am honored!
I’m quite thankful for their poor aim, and will pray it continues. My boy is in Baghdad.
Yes, that's correct and the contractor/DoD civilian numbers have come way down as well.
It can be done.
But the intent is to have everyone out by December 31 of this year. I see no reason for anyone to stray from the current plan.
DoS will take over operations in Iraq from there.
Nobody here is freaking out about what Glenn Beck said. And has Glenn forgotten that we have lots of troops in Kuwait? Maybe when he was showing that map to get people all wee-wee'd up, he should have also pointed out the neighboring countries where there is a strong US presence.
So am I. And we're doing just fine (except for the nasty sandstorm going on right now.)
I'll say a little prayer for your boy and for you.
And remember...their aim sucks. :)
:-)
Still, let's hope they don't use something that doesn't take a great deal of accuracy should things unwind.
Oh, you can bet we hope they don't do that! ;-)
Here is where I think this is headed. I am not so concerned as much about oil prices in the longer term. Short term yes - lots of pain.
The islamic and The Fed (a private cabal of banks) may be trying to bankrupt America quickly.
Why? Because we are having ..."

Thanks, anonymous.
Tell them about the 8000' foot vertical glide slope into Baghdad International Airport (have they stocked the restrooms with toilet paper yet?) It is almost as good as a 30 second free fall.
Have you received your permanent residency papers yet?
Take care.
Not to worry WITT, there’s another group claiming the world will end on October 19 of this year - if not - then it will definetly end December 21, 2012.
Thanks for the link. That is quite illuminating.
When the trucks that deliver that food stop rolling because fuel is $10 a gallon you may change your mind.
