BTTT! There is so much disinformation and psyops fodder floating around that it's hard to know what to believe, but this is impressive. Expect far more friendly fire than enemy originating casualties as we apply this buzz saw to Iraq. But that is acceptable, if the total number of casualties (on both sides) is kept below what would result from a protracted conflict.

I was just listening to a Senator from Carolina N/S ?? on FNC's H&C show that stated sadly the troops in the field were calling this Operation Justice as in Just-Us.........

I will be packing up a dozen care packages between now and monday to send to those guys and gals over there with a message that I am 100% behind em and would be standing with em "there" if Uncle Sugar had'nt put me out to pasture after 26 years and a wakeup.

I'd take my turn in the barrel again in a heartbeat. This is a job that needs doing . God help em do it well and bring every single one of them home safe and sound to their friends and families.......

March 14th ....D-Day.....Stay Safe !

History is being made on the big stage, and we are stuck over here. Oh well, at least we can wave the flags and buy their drinks when they get home.

Hey, I heard that an old VN vet in New England went ballistic today and waded into a group of mangy Saddamite Appeasenik student protestors and beat up a few of them.

The 'shock & awe' approach will work well. With the new MOABs as impressive as small nukes, this will make for some great video to be broadcast worldwide.

Oh, and those 500 jounalists travelling with out military will make sure the whole world gets to see up close what a superpower can really do. Since most of them are younger journalists, we also have a chance to introduce a generation of journalists to the reality of war so that they grasp just what a military really is. In addition, since it will be a quick and pyrotechnic war, everyone around the world will be too busy watching the TV to go hold a peace protest.

Team Bush is really shrewd. I'm more impressed all the time with how they handle the details, make all the elements work together toward a single end.

This notion of rapidity applies throughout the spectrum of combat from pre-conflict deployment to all stages of battle and conflict resolution.

We failed this one, thanks to our "allies" (and the U.N.)

The purpose of the plan is to induce sufficient "shock and awe" to render Iraq impotent.

Yeahh!! I like it!

Your days of SEAL teams and my days of RDMF's are over.

But we can still do our duty by shovelling the disinformation and psyops over the Internet. :-)
