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.]
"Anybody want a weird looking jack russell/blue tick hound mix? ;)"
Ahh..., I am having a little trouble getting a visual on a jack russell/blue tick hound mix. I am having a little trouble getting a visual on how conception might have proceeded. Pictures?

Oh, our own bettyellen makes a memorable appearance there, too. You remember bettyellen, she's was one of Andy's Angels and actually played a most pivitol role in the whole sordid tale. She's the one who breathlessly announced that Andy DIDN'T have pancreatic cancer after all, but merely an encapsulated tumor. Of course that news is what caused Wee Willy Pitt to have a complete mental meltdown because he DID put his name and reputation on the line (and we all know what an important guy Pitt is) for someone who apparently didn't have pancreatic cancer.
Anyway, it seems that bettyellen's compassion is reserved for the "might be dying" and the "my body, my choice" wimmin rather than a "blob of cells" not even remotely human. This poor guy told about how he and his (now ex) girlfriend made the decision to have an abortion when she got pregnant and he still has regrets. Well, evidently hell has no fury even remotely close to bettyellen's rage when dealing with people who actually feel guilty for their actions.
"you seem to want it both ways, mister.... this abortion affected you deeply to this day, yet later you say... you're "over it" . you play up your squeamish nature when it helps you, and get offended when it's used to illustrate your friends might know you better than you realize.
seriously, we women have already gotten the memo, we are supposed to be all regretful and conflicted if we get abortions. it's been made clear by many of y'all that just shrugging your shoulders and saying, "well that sucked" just ain't enough for you guys. you might think it's a life, but lots of us think it's just a blob of cells, and no reason to mourn, regret or apologize."
What a gal!

The DUmmies assume Marine Corps officers would put their troops at risk for a PR stunt. Says alot about the Left.
Forwarded this to my sister who replied:
"Well, I know the military asked the terrorists if we could strike at night or pre-dawn and stop when the sun came up until it got dark again, but I think they said no." LOL!
"I am having a little trouble getting a visual on how conception might have proceeded. Pictures?"
Ummmmm....you're kidding...right?
:-D
"Just a blob of cells..." I used to feel that way, about 25 years ago. I remember sitting in the audience at a lecture on the campus at Bowling Green State University during the 70's (not one of my classes, but an event being held there), laughing at the pro-lifers who were trying to convince us that life begins at conception.
My opinion has turned around 180 degrees since then.
Oh Man, that video was funny. The flames and his friend (?) holding him down was only outdone by the explosion at the end. I have tears in my eyes still.
Pitt's reaction to bettyellen's announcement seemed to be based more on the bombshell aspect of the announcement. Think Pitt was left out of the decision to dump the pancreatic cancer diagnosis at that particular time; looked like he got blind-sided. No "Pitt to the white courtesy phone" before Andy's fag-hags re-arranged the plot line.
Bettyellen's "compassion" for that panhandling porker made stones weep, but her reaction to donors who questioned the fund-raiser after bettyellen blithely rescinded Andy's death-sentence was as savage as her latest attack on those who regret their abortions.
A real piece of work.
They said the helicopters were meant to attack at night, with all their night-vision technology and such. BUT THE DECISION WAS MADE to attack during daylight, so X42 could have photos to show around to take attention away from the scandal of the day. THAT'S what caused the debacle that followed.
They did everything but say that these orders came from X42 himself.
Did anyone else get that impression, or was I listening with half an ear again?
Oh, yeah, and I believe that Mission was Accomplished:
Um, didn't they just tombstone a Marine who returned from a tour of duty and didn't toe the company line? Hard to keep veterans around that way.
It's sad that they want to have a romp between the sheets and then have no repercussions from it. If they should get pregnant, they just say..."Ahh, let's just kill it."
Well, I'd like to abolish repercussions such as hangovers after a night of drinking, but it just isn't that easy.
Why do they still insist on interviewing the Clintoon Shrills?? Oh wait...it's his (their) network!
During Operation Swarmer, arrests were made in the case involving the murder of a female journalist and her crew last month from the al-Arabiya television network back.

It isn't only their ignorance of how the military operates and its purpose, it is their indifference, bordering on contempt, to their fellow citizens who guard them that is disturbing.
Duty, honor, country is a joke to these parasites who trade cyber-valentines (for a price,) curse their freedom and revile those who defend it, and rob each other blind with maudlin lies about "saving" some fat, cynical panhandler, so they can pocket some money, sans travail.
Pitt is looking for a publisher for his latest masturbatory
opus. It would be interesting if he found a trade publisher who has works in progress on internet fund-raising. Pitt could help some bemused editor dissect Pitt's own CU dissertation after Skinner tombstoned irate donors and shut down DU regarding the "Andy Situation."
You know, when you see people like this disparaging our military, you have to wonder, what the hell is going to happen to this country, when the best of us, our troops, decide that the rest of us are not worth defending.
I;m hearing that a major factor in this op was to do a joint exercise with new Iraqi troops. They're night night fighters like us, so maybe a decision was made that a night op would hinder more than help, or be too great a risk of friendly fire.
