Even the war in Iraq was fought on the cheap,Whoa. Stop right there.
Which Iraq 'war'?
The one where we kicked Saddam's butt in a couple months, and every swinging d__k in his army ran away like girls --- even though Colin Powell 'ticked off' the Turks and made our 4th ID float at sea for month instead of launching their attack from the North , getting the Sunni Triangle in a pincer maneuver with the 3rd ID coming up from the South, thereforecontrolling'pacifying' all of Iraq? But thanks to Powell we couldn't DO THAT AS PLANNED and had to stop at Baghdad.Orrrrr, the Iraq 'war' which came AFTER we kicked Saddam's rear. But where the Sunni Triangle was still a haven of jihadist dead-enders and Baathist loyalists (did I mention Colin Powell screwing up?, yeah, okay), and politicians were now in charge of (cough) 'policy' and wouldn't let some Marine or Army SNIPER put a .308 Lapua round in 'Mookie Al-Sadar's' skull the moment he opened his yap, which would have ended or prevented any 'uprising' in Baghdad pdq.
So which 'war' are we speaking of that was 'fought on the cheap'?
[yes, this is run on sentence Wednesday]
And I bet that AFTER Pedro Primavera goes to the Eye Doctor he brags about his 20/20 Hindsight vision. (fricken mutt, I'm spttin' nails!)
“even though Colin Powell ‘ticked off’ the Turks”
i know the Turks refused to allow our troops access from the north...but i did not know what Powell did to cause this....
can you tell me the specifics of what he said or did that caused this?
thanks
