As soon as I heard about the Operation Swarmer air and ground assault upon Samarra, I KNEW the DUmmies would claim that it is merely a propaganda ploy to divert attention from Bush's (media manipulated) poll ratings. However, despite my expectation of typical DUmmie behavior, I never expected them to be sooooo STUPID as this THREAD, "Does the US Military often do this type of operation in broad daylight?" posted by Head DUmmie Skinner. Yes, STUPIDITY in DUmmieland does pour from the TOP down. Of course, DUmmie Skinner could have spent about half a minute checking the FACTS on this operation in Google but the results would have RUINED his dopey insinuation. So let us now analyze Skinner's stupidity (and the rest of the DUmmies) in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, letting DUmmie Skinner know there is a thing called SEARCH ENGINES to check the FACTS, is in the [brackets]:
Does the US Military often do this type of operation in broad daylight?
[DUhhhhhmmmmmie!!! All you had to do, Skinner, was GOOGLE the FACTS and you would have found THIS. Key sentence for you:
"Iraqi army and police forces, backed by U.S. helicopters launched a pre-dawn offensive against insurgents in the Jallamarea from several directions," a source from Salahudin province told thje Xinhua news agency.
DUhhhhhhmmmmie!!! "Pre-dawn" means BEFORE the sun rises. DUhhhhhhmmmmie!!!]
EarlG and I are sitting here in the office watching these pictures on CNN and we both commented on the fact that it looks like a beautiful day in Iraq which makes for really great pictures.
[Since Operation Swarmer is to take SEVERAL days, you will (SURPRISE! SURPRISE!) also see photos of daytime shots of the assault. Now if you are a news organization and have to choose between nighttime photos where you see almost nothing or daytime shots where things are seen clearly, which photos do you suppose they will use? DUhhhhhmmie!!!]
Neither of us knows anything about military tactics, or typical procedures for the US military. We were hoping there might be some veterans here or other military experts who could tell us if this is typical. We were kind of under the impression that major military operations usually took place at night. Do we have any experts here who can give us some idea of how common it is for these things to occur in broad daylight?
[Neither of you are not only know NOTHING about military tactics but you both flat out just plain know NOTHING. See, DUmmie Skinner, when a military operation is launched PRE-DAWN and is scheduled to last several days, the sun will actually RISE in the middle of such an operation thus yielding the broad daylight photos you saw. DUhhhhhhmmie!!!]
Bingo! Propaganda Assault !!! Just what I was thinking ... New Video ...... Dept. of Defense .... running on CNN all day.
[An UnterDUmmie chimes in with equal stupidity.]
Very astute observation on your part. It would seem that these operations would take place under the cover of night instead of the broad daylight where they could be shot down... I am not military, just an observation....
[Operation Swarmer was launched PRE-DAWN. DUmmie Skinner wasn't astute enough to figure out that the sun RISES in the morning. DUhhhhhhmmie!!!]
Skinner that's exactly what it is.... It's all about the propaganda photos....
[DUhhhhhhhmmie!!!]
Propaganda to ease sagging enlistments? Hey kids, things around the 'hood getting boring? Look at all the fun YOU could be having in the Army or Marines!
[How about easing the pressure on DUmmie Skinner's brain?]
I'd say * prefers to see the blood bath in broad daylight.
[DUmmie Skinner's brain has been hiding in the darkness.]
I think there's a real downside to this mechanized slaughter, both home and abroad. It energizes the anti-Bush folks here. It doesn't help our international image. It underscores that the whole "democracy" PR campaign in Iraq is a charade. Looks to me like Bush is killing the patient in order to save it.
[Actually, Skinner's dopey post highlighted the STUPIDITY of the DUmmies and their leftist cohorts. DUhhhhhhhmmie!!!]
Most operations are carried out at night. Most are done in the early morning when the sentries or guards are going to be the most tired. Also darkness masks your movements. Other then the propaganda value they may be conducting daytime operations due to the urban setting that the troops are operating in. Stealth and darkness is a soldiers friend.
[What part of "PRE-DAWN" don't you understand, DUhhhhhmmie?]
What did they name this one? Shock and AwShucks?
[DUhhhhmb and DUhhhhmber.]
The video I saw had troops being dropped in the middle of nowhere.
[aka the middle of Skinner's skull.]
It's OPERATION HEY LOOK OVER THERE!! With color daylight video to accompany all that useful former general propaganda slathering over the TV news. Let's go back to real journalists giving us stories from the front lines with accompanying video.
[Find the CNN Operation Tailwind crew!]
I'm an idiot. It never even occured to me.
[It definitely OCCURRED to me that you're an idiot, my spelling-challenged little DUmmie.]
By the standards of MSM, more than 2 troops is a giant operation. It doesn't matter what is real or not. All that matters is how it is portrayed.
Mike, remember that video? LOL
hehe yep :)
Now I got coffee all over my keyboard!! LOL
That's a good point. An operation like this would have no effect on Bush's poll numbers. If anything, it reminds people that work still needs to be done in Iraq. Not exactly a brilliant political strategy to raise poll numbers. But, in a leftist's mind, everything is about Meeeeeee. So, Bush must have done this to say "hey, look at me, I'm important and can do anything I want." (Examples: leaders of North Korea and Venezuela)
That the US was slaughtering innocent women and children in their sleep, of course.
SD
LOL
It's 11:10 AM and I'm proud of myself. I haven't started drinking yet :)
Truer words were never spoken.
50?
after watching the video i see what caused brain damage in the majority of DUmmies. lol
I don't understand. Why not?
"Major combat operations in Iraq are over"? The whole "Mission Accomplished" photo? And please no mention that the banner meant the ship's specific mission was accomplished. No one is believing that, even if it is true.
next time give us a NSFW warning please...
I believe the Mission Accomplished was the taking of Baghdad (s?) which we did brilliantly in just a few weeks.
Actually, at times I bleed for the guy, my fellow alum; he makes all of us who were taught by professors from Yale look, uh, unenlightened at times.
[DUhhhhhmmmmmie!!! All you had to do, Skinner, was GOOGLE the FACTS and you would have found THIS. Key sentence for you:
Yeah, the words "pre-dawn offensive" in that article sort of leap off the page, don't they?
Sorry, but the media has twisted that whole "Mission Accomplished" thing. And yes, it DID apply to the specific mission of taking Baghdad and toppling Saddam. Anyone who thinks otherwise didn't listen to Bush's speech on that ship, where he SPECIFICALLY said that there was still a lot of work ahead, and he outlined what needed to be done. Plus, anyone who has EVER worked on a large, complex project should be able to understand that there is a large mission, made up of smaller missions. It's the media dolts and the DUmmies, who hate George Bush, who sought to make that banner mean more than it did -- and they've apparently gotten to you, too.
What you DUmmies don't understand and can't get through your thick skulls is this; Our "international image" should be pure fear from our enemies, and awe from our allies!
Democracy is a "PR campaign," eh? Migawd but you people are stupid!
